Ball State men's tennis longtime head coach Bill Richards has announced the signing of transfer Mason Tran to the Cardinals' 2023-24 roster.

"Mason will be a great addition to our program," Richards said. "He was a good national level player throughout his junior career and had an outstanding freshman year at Pacific. The top level of DIII tennis is very strong and there is no doubt many of those players can play at the DI level. We are confident Mason will make a strong contribution here."

Tran has spent his last two season playing for Pacific University in Forest Grave, Oregon. He played at the No. 1 singles position as both a freshman and sophomore. In 2022, Tran ended the season ranked No. 5 in the nation in NCAA Division III.

In 2022, Tran garnered Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American honors. He was tabbed the Northwest Conference Freshman of the Year and was named First Team Northwest Conference. Trans also became the first player in Pacific University history to reach the semifinal round of the NCAA DIII Tournament. He finished the 2022 season with a 23-6 overall singles mark and a 22-8 doubles ledger.

Prior to his collegiate career, Tran turned in a successful junior career that placed him as a four-star recruit where he was ranked 106th nationally according to tennisrecruiting.com.
