The doubles matches were all close but the Blue Demons found away to come away with the victory. Francina Bonnelly teamed up with Andrea Bukacek at the No. 3 spot, where DePaul?s Anja Mihaldincec and Bojana Murisic pulled out a win in tiebreak, 9-8 (3).
Entering singles down 1-0, the Golden Eagles never were able to find the intensity needed to take down the Blue Demons. Callan Smith came out aggressive at the No. 1 spot, battling point for point with Beatrix Csordas. Csordas took the first set, 6-4, and then won the second, 6-1.
Marquette looked to the No. 4 and 5 positions for their last hopes of a win. Bonnelly came up just short of taking the first set, 7-6 (5), and then went down in the second, losing the set, 6-2.
In the longest match of the day, Erin Watkins was unable to win the first set, 6-3, battled back in the second winning, 4-6, and then lost the tiebreaker, (10-4).
