MINNETONKA, Minn. - Reaching the postseason conference tournament for the third year in a row, the University of Mary Women's Tennis team took to the court against Upper Iowa University in the opening round of the 2015 NSIC/US Bank Women's Tennis Tournament.
 
It was a difficult matchup for the Marauders (5-11, 5-6 NSIC) as they were hobbled by injuries through most of the season and the Peacocks (14-5, 10-1 NSIC) ensured U-Mary's stay in the tournament would be brief, as the Marauders were forced out of the tournament in the opening round, 5-0.
