TOWSON, Md. - After competing in the Bill and Sandra Moore Invitational at the Naval Academy on Sept. 19-20, the Towson University women's tennis team will travel to Mount St. Mary's for its first dual match of the season. The match will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 3 p.m.
 
"We are a young and hungry team," Head Coach Doug Neagle said. "The girls are really looking forward to their first dual match. Coach Hubbard and I are curious to see how they will compete in the dual format. They have been working hard though so they just have to trust their training."
 
Last season, the Tigers defeated The Mount by a 7-0 score. Seniors Ayana Dow, Cailey Easdale and sophomore Sophie Lesage all earned singles victories last season against Mount St. Mary's. Lesage and Dow also partnered to earn a doubles victory for the Tigers.
 
At the Bill and Sandra Moore Invitational on Sept. 19-20, the Tigers gained valuable early season experience against tough competition.
 
Freshman Lucy Williams defeated George Mason's Morgan Yang in the tournament's 'A' singles before falling to Lehigh's Christina Auyeung in a third-set tiebreaker.
 
Freshman A.J. Gomer earned a victory against St. Bonaventure's Mara Martinez-Santori in the consolation quarterfinals for the 'A' singles
