April 19, 2015 | Men's Tennis
BINGHAMPTON, N.Y. - The Ball State men's tennis team (12-11, 2-3 MAC) suffered a 5-2 setback at Binghamton (6-16, 2-3 MAC) in its last Mid-American Conference regular season match Sunday in New York.
"It was a very disappointing loss," Ball State head men's tennis coach Bill Richards said. "We had opportunities in five of the six singles matches but only could pull out one of them. Binghamton came through in clutch situations much better than we did today. It was a very difficult way to end the season."
Ball State entered singles play with a 1-0 advantage after taking the doubles point from the Bearcats. Ray Leonard and Collin Rigney earned the first doubles victory with their 6-2 win over Ismael Dinia and Vihar Shah on court two. After that, the Cardinals No. 1 doubles tandem of Patrick Elliott and Lucas Anderesen claimed the point after defeating Robin Lesage and Eliott Hureau, 6-4.
Binghamton took five of the six singles matches from Ball State. Andersen gave the Cardinals their second point of the match after taking Lesage down in three sets, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-2 on court two. Both Andrew Stutz and Patrick Downs fell to their opponents in three sets at the No. 5 and No. 6 positions. Leonard, Elliott and Jirus would lose to their respective opponents in straight sets.
