CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The Marshall University Tennis (9-4) fell to the Illinois Fighting Illini (7-2), 4-0, Sunday in Champaign, Illinois.

"We battled through a lot this weekend," Herd Tennis head coach John Mercer said. "This should make us better going into conference season. Illinois is a well-coached team. Best of luck to them the rest of the way."
