The Ball State women's tennis team may want to try to schedule less road games in 2013, because that seems to be its Achilles heel in 2012.
The Cardinals are 4-2 at home in Muncie, but just 1-9 on the road this season. This weekend certainly didn't help their record, as they dropped two more conference games.
On Friday, Ball State lost to Eastern Michigan 5-2. The only players to win were No. 1 freshman Courtney Wild and No. 5 senior Sarah Hebble.
Wild beat Nino Mebuke 6-4, 6-4.
The Eagles swept the Cardinals in doubles.
On Saturday, Ball State put up a decent fight, but still lost to Toledo, 4-3.
After shaking up their order, the Cardinals won the doubles point for the first time since Feb. 29. Junior Paola Rodriguez was moved to the No. 2 slot alongside Hebble. The team beat the Rockets 9-7.
Wild went 2-0 in singles in the weekend as she beat Toledo's Kelsey Anonsen 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 10-4. Wild now has 10 singles win in 2012.
Also winning against the Rockets was freshman Ashlyn Rang, who beat Chrissy Coffman 6-0, 6-2. Rang is 6-10 so far this season in singles.
The Cardinals will return home this weekend and continue Mid-American Conference play. They host Western Michigan at 1 p.m. Friday, and Bowling Green at 1 p.m. Saturday.
