The Cougars, who currently sit at the top of league standings (6-0), will face the No. 9 Blue Demons (16-3, 3-0 C-USA) in a doubleheader Saturday at 1 p.m. and a single game Sunday at 1 p.m. DePaul has won 11 of its last twelve games, including a 1-0 upset over No. 1 UCLA on March 9 at the Kia Klassic in Fullerton, Calif.
