IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa women’s tennis team topped Marquette, 5-2, today at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex.
“The team did a good job of rebounding today after the tough Oklahoma match,” said head coach Katie Dougherty. “We competed well in doubles and kept our foot on the gas in singles. Our focus now shifts to preparing for Big Ten play.”
Iowa secured the doubles point with victories at the No. 1 and No. 2 spots. Ruth Seaborne and Morven McCulloch improved their record to 6-1 with today’s victory 8-3 over Ali Dawson and Rocio Diaz.
