Thundering Herd takes 10 of its 16 matches
BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Marshall women's tennis team begin action at the Hokie Fall Invite in Blacksburg, Va., on Friday (Oct. 4).
"It was a great day," Marshall head coach John Mercer said after the day. "We played very well at times and not so well at other times, but it's early and we are going to keep trying to put whole matches together."
In the mock dual format, the Thundering Herd took two of its three doubles matches over Radford with wins coming at the numbers one and two positions.
In singles, MU split six matchups with the host Virginia Tech and took five of its six singles matches over Radford in the late session. All six Marshall players won at least 50 percent of their matches with Madi Ballow going a perfect three-for-three between doubles and singles action.
