February 19, 2023 | Women's Tennis
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State women's tennis team (6-2) earned a 7-0 sweep over Oakland (0-4) Sunday afternoon at the Northwest YMCA.
For the second-straight day, the Cardinals took the doubles point from their opponent in dominating fashion. Emily Desai along with her No. 3 doubles partner Elena Malykh gave up only one game to Oakland's Emma Hultqvist and Mia Melnizki to take the first double win, 6-1.
Shortly after, the duo of Amy Kaplan and Ella Hazelbaker clinched the doubles point for BSU with their 6-3 victory over Nirva Patel and Yasmin Glazbrook.
In singles, Ball State took first sets on all six courts. Kaplan made a quick exit at the No. 4 slot to push the Cardinals lead over the Grizzlies, 2-0. Mariya Polishchuk finished next on the top court earning a 6-2, 6-2 decision against Liza Mladentseva.
The Cardinals only needed one more point to win the match over the Grizzlies. Malykh's 6-0, 6-1 defeat against Oakland's No. 4 singles player, Tegan Heaton sealed the victory for BSU.
Three courts did remain after the Cardinals wrapped up the win. Mullville, Peeler and Desai all took down their respective opponents in two frames to complete the sweep for Ball State.
The Ball State women's tennis team will remain at home when it hosts a double-header Sunday, Feb. 26 against Dayton (1 pm ET) and Eastern Illinois (4:30 pm ET) at the Northwest YMCA.
