HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – After a brief one-match road trip, the Marshall women's tennis team returns to the friendly confines of the Huntington Tennis Club Friday when it plays former Southern Conference foe Furman at 4 p.m.
Â
HAVE YOU HERD?
Marshall is looking to break a four-match losing streak when it faces Furman. The Herd's last win was the second match of its doubleheader when it defeated Wright State.Â
Â
Anna Smith and Victoria Walter lead the Thundering Herd with four singles wins apiece. Daniela Dankanych and Madi Ballow have three wins each for Marshall.
Â
Marshall and Furman have not met since the Thundering Herd left the Southern Conference. The Thundering Herd won the last meeting between the teams in 1997.
Â
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT: FURMAN
Furman's Southern Conference title defense is off to a strong start, as the Paladins have won seven of their first eight matches. Furman is also on a four-match win streak, with its lone loss of the season coming against Louisville.
Â
The Paladins are 37-8 in singles play this season, with Katarina Kozarov leading the way at the top spot with a 6-0 record. Julia Adams and Madison Dillon each have undefeated singles records for Furman as well.
Â
SERIES HISTORY
Furman has a 4-1 lead in the all-time series, though Marshall won the last match between the teams. This is the first match between the teams since 1997, when the Thundering Herd was still a member of the Southern Conference.
Â
UP NEXT
The Herd closes a two-match weekend at home Sunday against Penn State at 11 a.m.
