For the first time in school history, men’s tennis team has won the BIG EAST tournament.
The No. 3-seeded Golden Eagles triumphed 4-1 against No. 1 seed DePaul in the title match this afternoon. This happened after DePaul demolished Marquette, 6-1, eight days ago in Chicago.
After losing the doubles point, Marquette grabbed four singles points in quick succession to win the match. Junior Alvaro Verdu, sophomore Luke Smrek and junior Greg Anderson all triumphed in singles matches that they had lost last Saturday against the Blue Demons.
This is the fourth consecutive year Marquette has played in the championship match.
