March 09, 2024 | Women's Tennis
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Ball State women's tennis team played at 73rd-ranked Michigan State Saturday morning at the MSU Indoor Tennis Center. The Cardinals (2-9) would fall to the Spartans (7-5) 4-0.
As the season progresses the Cardinals have showed improvement and although Ball State lost the doubles point courts one and three were highly competitive. In fact, Annika Planinsek alongside teammate Ella Hazelbaker defeated the Spartans No. 3 duo of Natalie Stasny and Marlo Schiffman, 6-4. Michigan State would earn wins at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions to claim the doubles win. Isabel Tanjuatco and Sarah Shahbaz put on a show on the top court only losing by two (7-5) to the 38th-ranked Ayshe Can and Nicole Conrad.
In singles, the Spartans took courts two, four and three from the Cardinals all in straight sets to clinch today's victory. Both Tanjuatco and Hazelbaker were up in their second frames against their respective opponents before play was suspended.
The Ball State women's tennis team will continue non-conference action when it plays Bradley at home Sunday. First serve is at 5 pm ET at the Northwest YMCA Tennis Center.
