The Cardinals newcomer Chloe Brown teamed up with Elena Malykh for a 7-6 (4) defeat versus Lipscomb's Serafima Bobrovnikova and Kameliia Tytarenko.
Saturday's competition was a round of both singles and doubles. Malykh took down Jana Rovira of ETSU in a three set thriller, 6-2, 1-6, 10-4 while Shahbaz and Tanjuatco won their doubles competition over Northern Alabama by a 7-6 decision.
Ball State closed out play on Sunday with singles matches against Lipscomb and Eastern Kentucky. Brown went 2-0 today against her respective opponents while Shahbaz and Tanjuatco rounded out today's singles victories for the Cardinals, each winning one apiece.
