HUNTINGTON, W.Va.- Marshall tennis continues its fall season when the squad travels to Blacksburg, Va. for the Hokie Fall Invitational on Oct. 3-5.
The Hokie Fall Invite features flight-style play, where the Herd could face players from teams such as Radford, Virginia Tech, VCU, Morehead State, and Liberty in addition to the teams the squad will face in the opening round of play.
"We're really excited to get back on the court," head coach John Mercer said. "It will be good to get these girls some more matches and they had good matches at the Tribe Invitational, so this will be good to see them in action again."
HAVE YOU HERD?
Senior Kai Broomfield (Toronto, Canada) and sophomores Rachael Morales (Reynoldsburg, Ohio) and Anne Gulsrud (Stavenger, Norway) will be participating in the singles flights, and Broomfield and Morales will pair up for a doubles flight.
Broomfield and Morales turned in an 11-5 record last season as partners, and picked up a win two weeks ago at the William & Mary Tribe Invitational.
In the singles flights, Broomfield will begin her competition against Penn State, Morales will face University of Maryland-Baltimore County, and Gulsrud will take on Wofford. Broomfield and Morales will begin doubles play facing a duo from JMU.
UP NEXT
Marshall will return to the Old Dominion state next weekend, as the squad will head to the UVa Invitational in Charlottesville, Va., on Oct. 10-12.
