HAVE YOU HERD?
Marshall had its most recent scheduled match against VCU postponed due to poor weather in the Richmond, Virginia, area. The two schools are working on rescheduling the match.

Stefancic is 6-2 in her last eight singles matches, while Ballow is 5-1 in her last six singles matches.

This is Marshall's second match of the season against an opponent from the Mountain East Conference. The Herd defeated West Virginia State in January, 7-0.
