Lady Hornets tennis team powers past Palmyra in 6-3 victory

The Fulton Lady Hornets team team swept through doubles action and took three-of-six singles matches to best Palmyra 6-3 on Thursday night at the high school athletic complex.

It was an ideal return to form for Fulton following Monday's 9-3 North Central Missouri Conference home loss to Kirksville, according to Lady Hornets head coach Louis Schnoebelen.

"The last two days we concentrated on being better prepared," Schnoebelen said. "I knew it would be a tough match against Palmyra, but the girls were up for it because we lost to them pretty badly last year. We worked on lobs because Palmyra likes to lob a lot."
