This weekend promises thrilling tennis action as the Appalachian State Mountaineers prepare to face formidable opponents. The team will first travel to Huntington, West Virginia, to challenge the No. 65-ranked Marshall Thundering Herd on Saturday morning. Following this match, they will return home to Boone, North Carolina, where they will host East Carolina University on Sunday. Prior to the Sunday match, fans and players alike will celebrate a special occasion with a dedication ceremony for the newly installed scoreboard and courts one and two at the App State Tennis Courts.

The Mountaineers enter this series of matches following an impressive victory over Southern Miss last Sunday. Their dominance began in doubles play, where Taya Powell and Ruby Broadbent secured an early lead by winning their match 6-1. This was followed by another strong performance from Savannah Dada-Mascoll and Alexi Cleveland, who clinched the doubles point with a decisive 6-2 win. In singles competition, the Mountaineers maintained their momentum, with key victories coming from Dada-Mascoll, Naledi Manyube, and Broadbent, ensuring a solid 4-1 triumph. These results highlight the team's cohesive efforts and individual talent.

Looking ahead, the Mountaineers are poised to test themselves against stiff competition. Marshall, with a robust 13-3 record this season, presents a challenging opponent due to their experienced lineup and recent success. Meanwhile, East Carolina brings its own set of challenges despite a modest overall record. As the Mountaineers aim to extend their winning streak, standout players like Dada-Mascoll and Manyube continue to shine, with the latter earning accolades as the Sun Belt Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Week. Beyond these matches, the team's journey reflects not only their athletic prowess but also their commitment to growth and excellence. Each game serves as a stepping stone toward achieving greater heights in collegiate tennis.
