Women's Tennis Defeated by Seagulls

The Marlins traveled to Salisbury, Maryland to face the Seagulls of Salisbury University. 

The match began with singles due to a high probability of inclement weather. The young Marlin squad competed well against the historically dominant Seagulls.  

Senior Sophia Bibbo and freshman Haley Haydon were the first off the courts, losing in straight sets at #5 and #6 singles respectively. Freshmen Tuva Flink and Mikisha Thomas battled hard but were also defeated at #1 and #3 singles. 

At #2 Sophie Engelberts was able to push the match to a third set and was victorious, defeating her opponent for the lone Marlin win of the day. 

In the last singles match of the day, senior Shannon Lewes had several leads but could not finish off her opponent, ultimately falling 6-7, 6-7.

The Seagulls kept their momentum from singles and rose to a quick lead on the doubles scoreboard, defeating the Marlins at all three positions. The Marlins ended the day with a 1-8 loss.

Next up, the Marlins will host Centre College at Everett Tennis Center on Monday, March 18 at noon.
