CHICAGO, IL - Toledo split its final two matches of the weekend to move its record to 11-6 on the season. The Rockets claimed an easy 6-1 win over Bradley, but dropped its final match of the weekend to DePaul on Saturday by a final count of 4-3.
"We put a solid singles effort in tonight and it came down to the last match on court," UT head coach Al Wermer said on the DePaul match. "Our energy was a bit off in doubles but that'll be corrected. We're still feeling good about our progress and potential."
The Blue Demons began the match inside Lakeshore Sport and Fitness by winning all three doubles matches to earn the opening point.
Toledo fought its way back during singles action with three matches going to a third set. UT claimed two of those matches, including senior Francisco Stuardo (6-4, 4-6, 7-5) at No. 3 singles and senior Terence Weigand (1-6, 6-3, 6-4) at the fifth spot. Sophomore Nicky Wong lost the deciding point in a heartbreaker at No. 4 singles, falling in three sets 6-4, 6-7 & 6-3.
Sophomore Grant Adams has been consistent all season in the No. 2 slot and didn't disappoint against DePaul. Adams notched a straight-set victory, 6-3, 6-2, over Sten Leusink.
The Midnight Blue & Gold will travel to the Badger State next weekend for two contests against Marquette and Wisconsin-Green Bay. Following next weekend, the Rockets will travel to the Pacific Coast Championships in La Jolla, CA on their Spring Break trip.
