DePaul grabbed momentum in doubles play, and rode it through singles competition in their win over UIC Saturday evening.  The Flames were unable to sustain an attack in the 7-0 loss.

Niko Wasilewicz came closest to victory.  Up a set at #3 singles, he dropped the second set in a tiebreaker and then succumbed in the third set.

The Flames will play their next three matches at home.
