April 21, 2023 | Women's Tennis
MUNCIE, Ind. - It was an emotional day for the Ball State women's tennis team as the Cardinals celebrated their seven seniors in a SCORE win versus Eastern Michigan Friday afternoon at the Northwest YMCA.
Isabelle Behrman, Jessica Braun, Emily Desai, Amy Kaplan, Emma Peeler and Livia Lukacs were all members of two Mid-American Conference Tournament regular season titles, a MAC Tournament championship and two trips to the NCAA's. Allison Mulville joined as a transferred to BSU this season but has helped Ball State to an overall record of 19-3 and an 8-1 conference ledger.
Eastern Michigan (6-8, 3-6 MAC) fell behind early to the Cardinals after a tightly contested doubles point. Ball State took wins on courts No. 3 and No. 2, respectively to start the match off 1-0.
In singles, Elena Malykh dominated EMU's No. 6 player, Linda Eloundou as she only dropped one game winning in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1. Mariya Polishchuk topped Andrea Quiroz, 6-3, 6-1 at the No. 1 spot to extend the Cardinals lead to 3-0 over the Eagles.
In true senior fashion, Peeler came through on court No. 3 beating Danielle Shved, 6-3, 7-5, to claim match point for the Cardinals.
Rounding out the victories for BSU was Annika Planinsek took her match at the No. 5 slot in straight sets.
The Ball State women's tennis team will close out its MAC regular season play when it travels to rival Miami Sunday for a 1 pm ET match in Hamilton, Ohio.
