CHARLESTON, S.C. – Freshman Emma Vanderheyden was named the singles champion at the College of Charleston Halloween Invitational as the Marshall University women's tennis team closed out the event on Sunday.
"It was an excellent day today. I'm really excited for Emma, who won all of her singles and double matches at the number one position and was named the singles champion of the tournament," Marshall women's tennis head coach John Mercer said.
