PERRYSBURG, Ohio - The Ball State women's tennis team (7-7, 0-2 MAC) dropped a heartbreaking 4-3 loss at Bowling Green (10-5. 2-0 MAC) Sunday afternoon in Mid-American Conference action.

The Cardinals got off to a strong start by taking the doubles point from the Falcons. Peyton Gollhofer and Victoria Sec paired up on court three for a 6-1 take down over Marta Bettinelli and Vanesa Pardo. But it was the No. 2 doubles tandem of Audrey Berger and Rebecca Herrington that would clinch the point. Berger and Herrington defeated Polina Radeva and Ayumi Sasaki, 7-6 (5).

The match then became a tight affair in singles play. Herrington and Berger each defeated their respective opponents both in three set thrillers. Berger won 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 and Herrington finished Pardo off 5-1, 3-6, 6-2. Despite the Cardinals efforts, the Falcons would take points from Ball State on the remaining four courts to seal the victory for BGSU.

The Ball State women's tennis team will continue Mid-American Conference action at Eastern Michigan Friday at 1 p.m.
