Women’s Tennis Falls to Toledo in MAC Play Sunday
March 26, 2023 | Women's Tennis
TOLEDO, Ohio - The Ball State women's tennis team dropped a tough 5-2 road loss to Toledo Sunday afternoon at the Twos Athletic Club.
The Cardinals (13-3, 2-1 MAC) and the Rockets (11-4, 3-0 MAC) have become quite the Mid-American Conference rivals in recent years with Ball State defeating Toledo 4-3 in last year's 2022 MAC Tournament Championship.
Ball State entered this afternoon's competition on an 11-match win streak.
Toledo took the early 1-0 edge over Ball State after registering wins on courts one and two in doubles play.
In singles, the Rockets continued their dominance taking victories from the Cardinals on four of the six courts.
Jessica Braun and Elena Malykh were the only two Cardinals who earned victories for the BSU today.
Braun picked up a 6-3, 7-6 (4) defeat against Toledo's No. 4 singles player, Mariona Perez while Malykh won 7-5 in both sets at the No. 6 position.
The Ball State women's tennis team returns home Friday against Northern Illinois at 1 pm ET. The match will be played at the Cardinal Creek Tennis Center, weather permitting.
