Strom moves to 13-1 this spring in singles
TROY, Ala. – The Marshall University tennis team (9-6, 3-2 Sun Belt) dropped its contest at Troy (9-5, 2-3), 4-2, on Sunday.
"Just got off to a good start winning doubles and started ok in singles but just need to maintain our good level a little longer. Experiences like this should make us better," Herd head coach John Mercer said.
The Herd captured the doubles point with a 6-1 victory at number two doubles by Aisling McGrane and Sophia Hurrion along with a 7-5 win by Emma Vanderheyden and Johanna Strom at number one doubles.
Strom also moved to 13-1 in singles during the spring with a straight-set win at number two singles.
