Bailey-Duvall encouraged by Raider potential
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Tayo Bailey-Duvall's first year as Middle Tennessee's women's tennis coach was a learning experience in more ways than one.
Though her second season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all signs are pointing to the program being on an upwards trajectory.
Bailey-Duvall was hired as the 11th coach in program history in August of 2018. She had spent the previous six years as the head coach at her alma mater, Butler, where the Bulldogs won a Big East Tournament match in four of her last five seasons. Additionally, her program earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards every year for ranking in the top 10% of their sport based on multi-year Academic Progress Rates.
