HUNTINGTON – If you want to size up Rachael Morales’ performance for Marshall’s tennis team, don’t go by her height.
At 5 feet 2, Morales is playing bigger in her junior season … in more ways than one.
In her first two seasons, Morales, of Columbus, Ohio, played mostly at No. 6 singles for the Herd. She posted 28 wins among her 32-12 record at that spot in two seasons. And playing in the last singles match, Morales and her opponent often decided which way a 4-3 score went.
That all changed when Coach John Mercer’s team was beset by injuries to Maddie Silver and Anna Pomyatinskaya, followed by the decision by another promising player to leave school after the fall semester.
The Thundering Word: On Court, Morales Goes from 6 to 2 with Success
