WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Ball State men's team wrapped up its weekend of play at the Purdue Fall Invite Sunday afternoon.
The weekend was part of a hidden dual format, as the Cardinals went 9-2 in doubles play and 13-8 in singles play.
Sunday's competition against host Purdue was highlighted by a three-set thrilling win from Eli Herran at the No. 2 slot. Herran dropped the first frame by a score of 5-7 but rallied back to take sets two and three from the Boilermakers' Tomasz Dudek, 7-5, 6-3.
The Ball State men's tennis team continues fall play when it travels next weekend to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Ohio Valley Regional at the University of Tennessee (Sept. 23-26).
