After a 7-0 win over Chicago State at the Cardinal Creek Tennis Center on Sunday, Ball State still has a perfect record in Mid-American Conference play.
Ball State easily took care of the visitors with the sweep as the closet matches came during doubles play to start the match.
At No. 1 doubles, Chicago State’s pairing of Sergiu Muresan and Mario Noboa defeated Ball State’s pairing of Imanol Arconada and Alexandre Brym 9-7. That would be the lone victory for Chicago State in the match.
The two other Ball State doubles teams, Dalton Albetin and Austin Sansone at No. 2 and Patrick Elliott and Austin Smith at No. 3, both won their matches, 8-6 and 8-4, respectively.
By winning two doubles matches, Ball State took the doubles point to start the match 1-0.
The Cardinals swept the singles competition easily, with the closest match coming at No. 4 singles in a match up between Brym and Jean Paul Jones. Brym defeated Jones 6-1, 6-2.
In the singles competition overall, Ball State had four scores of 6-0 and six scores of 6-1 to win at all six positions.
It’s is the third consecutive win for Ball State, and eight wins in the last nine matches. The lone loss came on April 1 against then-No. 27 Notre Dame. The team’s record in the MAC is now 4-0.
Ball State has one match remaining — on the road against Buffalo — before the start of the MAC Championship in DeKalb, Ill., on April 25-27.
