RALEIGH, N.C. – James Madison women's tennis dropped its first dual match of the spring, 6-1, at NC State on Friday afternoon.

The Wolfpack (5-2) won the first two doubles matches to earn the opening point against the Dukes (4-1). NC State then earned two-set victories in the first five singles decisions.

Junior Kimmy Herrock tallied the lone point of the day with a two-set victory (6-2, 6-3) over Amanda Rebol at No. 5 singles, who is rated at No. 106 in the national Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings.

Senior Timea Guibe and sophomore Emma Petersen lost their first singles matches of the fall, both falling in two sets.

QUOTING HEAD COACH JAMES BRYCE
"NC State was definitely the better team today, especially on the deuce points. We learned a lot about playing in tough matches and how to mentally move onto the next point today. If we can do that better tomorrow, we will put ourselves in a great position. Kimmy had a great ranked win today, and I am happy with her progress this semester."
