CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Ball State women's tennis team improved to 5-2 on the season after posting a 6-1 victory at Cleveland State (1-6) Sunday afternoon in the Paramount Tennis Club.
"Today was a great day for us," Ball State head women's tennis coach Max Norris said. "We got our first road win and we did it having to face some adversity. Cleveland State is a well-coached team and they're going to have a great season. Getting that win was a great experience for us going forward."
Ball State claimed the doubles point with a 6-1 win on court one and a 6-2 victory at the No. 2 position. Courtney Earnest and teammate Rosalinda Calderon defeated Jana Schober and Aleksandra Golawska, and Bethany Moore alongside Courtney Wild claimed the point with their win over Mathilde Orange and Ellen Folkers.
The Cardinals took their momentum into singles action, taking five of the six matches from the Vikings. Earnest took down Orange on court two in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0 to give Ball State the 2-0 advantage over Cleveland State. Folkers earned the Vikings their first and only point with a win over Rang at the No. 3 spot. Moore would then put the Cardinals up 3-1 with her three set thriller (6-1, 3-6, 6-0) over Princess Gbadamosi at the No. 5 position. Calderon claimed the fourth point in a straight set defeat over Golawska which clinched the victory for Ball State on court six. Toni Ormond and Wild would end the day with wins at the No. 4 and No. 1 positions, respectively.
The Ball State women's tennis team continues non-conference action on the road Sunday at 1 p.m. against Cincinnati.
