Lancaster & Webster Receive Postseason All-MAC Second Team Honors
April 22, 2025 | Men's Tennis
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Junior Jacks Lancaster alongside teammate senior Nathaniel Webster have received All-Mid-American Conference Second Team honors which was announced by the league office this morning.Â
Â
This is the second time in Lancaster's career to receive a postseason award as he was tabbed to the All-MAC Tournament team last year. Webster has earned a postseason season honor all four years during his tenure at Ball State.Â
Â
Both Lancaster and Webster played on the top two courts this season for the Cardinals. Webster has played at the No. 1 singles position for three-straight years. Lancaster and Webster were also highly competitive in doubles play as well for BSU.Â
Â
Lancaster and Webster concluded their season in the MAC Tournament last weekend in the semifinal round in Kalamazoo, helping the Cardinals win the doubles point over tops-seeded Buffalo. The highly competitive match nearly saw Ball State pull off an upset over the eventual MAC Tourney championship Bulls.Â
