CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Marshall women's tennis team battled against top foes in second day play at the inaugural University of Virginia Invitational at the Snyder Tennis Center on Saturday.
"We played against really good teams and players today," Marshall head coach John Mercer said. "VCU has a great tradition with a top 20 standing."
Marshall's No. 48 nationally-ranked Kellie Schmitt (Pittsburgh, Pa.) was defeated by VCU's No. 26 nationally-ranked Tatsiana Uvarova in tough sets, 7-6, 6-2, in Flight A singles on Saturday.
"It will be good if we continue to compete at this level of competition," coach Mercer adds. "We can grow from this level of opponents."
Marshall will conclude UVa Invitational play on Sunday at the Snyder Tennis Center at 9 a.m. with hopes to finish with hard fought action.
