Scots Fall 6-1 Saturday at Emory & Henry
EMORY, Va. – Maryville took on Emory & Henry from the Division II ranks and lost 6-1 in Saturday's spring opener.
The teams played by Division II scoring rules, which meant doubles combined for just one point.
Seth Green picked up a singles victory in the No. 6 position, scoring a 6-2, 6-1 win against Tyler Wills from Emory & Henry. Green also won 6-2, 6-1 in the October victory against Mississippi University for Women, giving him two singles triumphs in a row.
Kyle Shaver put up a solid showing at No. 1 singles before falling 6-3, 6-3 to Brandon McGuire, and Keshawn Haynes returned to the squad after basketball season and grabbed a couple of games in each set in a 6-2, 6-2 loss to Alvaro Garcia.
"We played our first matches of the year against a good opponent," Maryville head coach Doug Corbett said. "It was good for our student-athletes to get exposed to that level of play. There were some bright spots, but plenty to work on in preparation for a big weekend next week."
The Scots played against a Division II opponent for the second time in 2021-22, with Virginia-Wise being the other back on Oct. 2.
Maryville is home Sunday morning against Franklin. The teams begin play at 11 a.m. on the MC Courts. The team also is home Friday for an exhibition match against Southwest Virginia Community College, followed by a home Saturday date versus Ferrum. Both of those matches begin at 1 p.m.
