Ball State men’s tennis opened its 2013 spring season with a 6-1 loss to the Big Ten’s Northwestern on Sunday afternoon.
Northwestern began the match with a win in the doubles, as Ball State’s Austin Sansone and Alexandre Brym lost in No. 3 doubles. The pair of Cliff Morrison and Patrick Elliot fell in No. 2 doubles and the No. 1 doubles pair of Dalton Albertin and Ray Leonard abandoned their match.
The Cardinals were swept in all but one of the singles matches; the No. 2 singles. Morrison was able to come back from a set down to defeat Northwestern’s Spencer Wolf after he withdrew in the third set.
Ball State will get another shot at beating a Big Ten opponent when it competes against Illinois on Saturday.
