Playing in their final home match of the season, The University of Louisville women's tennis team fell 6-1 to the No. 41 Marshall University women's tennis team. The Cardinals took the doubles point but were unable to stop Marshall from sweeping the singles for the win.
"I don't feel like we lost the match but were beaten by a very good Marshall team," said University of Louisville women's tennis head coach Mark Beckham. "I am disappointed to lose but I was to keep sight and I want my team to keep sight of how much progress we are making as a team. We are playing good matches with NCAA tournament caliber teams and it is just a matter of time before we figure out how to beat a team at this level."
