GREENVILLE, S.C. – Redshirt junior Lara Schneider and graduate Lene Mari Hovda opened up the Fall season for the Hoosiers at the Debra Southern Furman Fall Classic at Mickel Tennis Center on Friday evening.
Furman hosted 13 schools in Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Duke, Furman, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Mississippi State, N.C. State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wake Forest.
After falling in her first match to Georgia's No. 6 ranked Dasha Vidmanova, Schneider picked up a win against No. 123 ranked Clemson's Cristina Mayorova, 1-6, 7-5, 6-1. She would finish the singles round with a tiebreaker loss against Ohio States No. 26 Sydni Ratliff.
Hovda was forced to retire in the first round of singles, dropping the match 6-1, 3-0 to Georgia.
They duo picked up two wins in the flight three doubles matches over Furman and Wake Forest, but Hovda's retirement would allow Ohio State to win by default in the final round.
