SAN DIEGO - Marshall dropped to 12-8 on the 2007 spring season when it dropped a 5-2 decision to San Diego on Friday afternoon.
The Herd claimed the doubles point after Marshall won the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 3 as Kellie Schmitt (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Karolina Soor (Lindesberg, Sweden) defeated the San Diego team of Alexandra Demidova and Sophia Vogt at the number one spot and Jessica Keener (Reston, Va.) and Jeanne Schwartz (West Palm Beach, Fla.) knocked off Justine Perl and Monica Wiesener of San Diego at number three.
However, the Toreros bounced back with five of six singles victories. Junior Monica Wiesener downed Kellie Schmitt at No. 1 singles, winning the third set tie-breaker, 10-7. Marshall lost all but one of the singles matches, with the lone win coming at the number six spot as Keener knocked off Justine Perl, 6-4, 6-1.
Marshall returns to action on March 27 when the Herd travels to Virginia Tech.
