HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Tennis team (7-2) opened the weekend with a 6-1 win over the Louisville Cardinals (2-2) on Friday afternoon.
Â
"Singles, they did a great job," Herd tennis head coach John Mercer said. "They came out and got the lead. They fought hard and brought determined energy. It was a good to see. It's a sign of experience and growth."
Â
The Herd took it to the Cardinals in singles by sweeping all six matches. Johanna Strom started it out with a 6-4, 6-0, triumph on court one to tie the contest 1-1. Emma Vanderheyden and Doroteja Joksovic quickly followed on courts two and three, respectively, taking their contests 6-3, 6-2.
Â
Sophia Hurrion then battled out her match on court four to win 6-2, 7-5, to seal the contest for MU.
Â
With singles still being played out, Aisling McGrane gutted out a three-set win on court five, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1, as Rieke Gillar took her matchup in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1, on court six.
Â
The Herd narrowly dropped the doubles point, but saw the pairing of Strom and Vanderheyden win 6-4 on court one.
