Women's Tenns Suffers 4-3 Loss At Western Michigan
March 22, 2019 | Women's Tennis
KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Ball State women's tennis team (11-3, 0-1 MAC) opened Mid-American Conference action on the road today at Western Michigan (9-7, 0-1 MAC). The Cardinals unfortunately fell to the Broncos in a 4-3 showdown at West Hills Athletic Club.
WMU opened the match strong by taking the doubles point from the Cardinals. It was only the second time this season that Ball State had lost in doubles action. The Broncos won the first match on court one but BSU evened doubles play winning at the No. 3 spot. Peyton Gollhofer and Isabelle Dohanics would beat WMU's Denise Azcui and Gabrela Slavova, 6-1. The point would come down to court two where the Broncos clinched the point, 6-3.
In singles action, Western Michigan made it a 3-0 match after winning on courts two and three. Gollhofer improved her overall singles record to 11-1 and gave Ball State its first point of the day with her 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) take down over Katja Fevralev. The Broncos then claimed match point at the No. 6 slot. The final point though was a battle for WMU, as the Cardinals Lilya Hadab fell in a three set thriller to Kristina Tiraspolsky.
Ball State closed out the day on a high note and took home the last two matches from the Broncos. Dohanics and Rebecca Herrington both earned victories at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, respectively.
The Ball State women's tennis team continues Mid-American Conference action on Sunday at Toledo. The Cardinals and the Rockets will play on ESPN+ at 1 p.m. if the match is played outdoors.
