Coming off a disappointing loss in the Big East Championship on May 1, Yuliya Shupenia and Rebeca Mitrea were unsure if their season was over or not. The DePaul women’s tennis team as a whole didn’t qualify for the NCAA Division I Tennis Championship, but there was a chance for the pair to qualify for the singles and doubles championship.
That’s exactly what happened.
For the first time in the program’s history, the Blue Demons will be represented in both the singles and doubles portion of the NCAA championship with Shupenia competing in the singles and Mitrea joining her for doubles.
