Hurrion seals win
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Marshall University tennis team (1-0) took a narrow 4-3 decision over the Kentucky Wildcats (4-2) to open its dual season on Wednesday in Lexington, Kentucky.
"It was a great, hard fought, win," Herd tennis head coach John Mercer said. "It was an exciting win to start the season."
After dropping the doubles point, Marshall tied the match with Andjela Lopicic winning on court six by walkover.
The Wildcats followed with a point on court one, but Emma Vanderheyden tied the contest 2-2 with a straight-set victory on court three.
With Kentucky taking a 3-2 advantage on with a victory on court four, MU needed to take the final two matches. Johanna Strom stepped up on court two to take her contest in three sets after dropping the first. Sophia Hurrion then rallied after falling in the second to seal the match for the Herd with a 6-3 win in set three of her match on court five.
