Day One Complete at Georgia Tech Tennis Invitational
11/5/2004
ATLANTA ? The Thundering Herd tennis team faired much better in doubles play than it did in singles during the opening day of the Georgia Tech Fall Invitational.
The tournament is being played in a format where members from one school will compete against members of another school in eight singles matches and four doubles matches. Teams will play against all three opponents in both singles and doubles play during the course of the tournament.
The Herd matched up against Maryland to open the day in doubles action and then took the court later in the afternoon to play singles against the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets.
In doubles play, Marshall picked up wins from its No. 1 and No. 2 duos. Ashley Kroh (Louisville, Ky.) and Lille Nzudie (Duoala, Cameroon) picked up an 8-5 win over Huppes/Subertova of the Terrapins and the combo of Danielle Hock (Wiggin, England) and Joelle Good (Zurich, Switzerland) knocked off But/Rogers in a grueling 9-7 win.
On the singles side, Marshall played Georgia Tech with freshman Shannon Brown (Overland Park, Kan.) picking up the Herd?s only win.
Marshall will get a chance for revenge in doubles Saturday against Georgia Tech. The Herd will then play singles against Florida State, whom it matched up with in the NCAA tournament last season.
