QUEENS, N.Y. The No. 71 DePaul women’s tennis team picked up a 6-1 road victory over BIG EAST Conference rival St. John’s on Sunday.  The Blue Demons (7-3, 1-0 BIG EAST) won the doubles point before taking five singles matches from the Red Storm (1-4, 0-1 BIG EAST) at the Alley Pond Tennis Center.

DePaul opened the dual with a pair of doubles victories.  Junior Dunja Antunovic and sophomore Kirsten Gambrell topped Ashley Harper and Emily Barnett, 8-2, at No. 2 doubles, while senior Anja Mihaldinec and freshman Selma Salkovic recorded an 8-3 win over Mariana Chachua and Jenny Yonkus in the No. 3 match.
