ORLANDO, Fla. - The DePaul men's tennis team stumbled at No. 75 Central Florida on Saturday. The Blue Demons dropped a 7-0 match to the Knights on a warm sunny day at the UCF Tennis Complex. With the loss, DePaul falls to 6-14, while UCF improves to 9-5 with the victory.

The Blue Demons were unable to get anything going as the Knights won all three doubles matches and did not allow DePaul to win a set in singles action.

DePaul's number three tandem of Bartosz Jozwiak and Matija Palinic went at Marco Rocafort and Brock Sakey and forced a tiebreaker; but the UCF duo came out on top which completed the doubles sweep for the Knights.

Jozwiak continued to play well in singles action for the Blue Demons, but the junior came up short - 7-5, 6-4 against Sakey.

The Blue Demons head to Texas next week and play UT-Arlington on April 3 and SMU on Sunday.
