After placing five singles participants and two doubles teams into the main draw of the Ohio Valley Regional on Friday, the women’s tennis team was back in action Saturday in Memphis.
In singles play, the Cardinals posted a 2-3 record with Courtney Wild and Courtney Earnest advancing to the round of 16.
Earnest defeated Chattanooga’s Kaylene Chadwell 6-2, 6-2, while Wild slipped by Miami of Ohio’s Andreea Badileanu by a score of 6-4, 6-4.
Day two of the regional did not fare as well for the other three Ball State participants, as Bethany Moore, Ashlyn Rang and Kristel Sanders failed to defeat their round one opponents.
Moore fell to top seed Nadia Ravita of Kentucky 6-3, 6-0 to begin the day, Sanders lost to the second seeded Kelsey Dieters of Kentucky 6-1, 6-4, and Rang was defeated by Louisville’s Elle Stokes 6-4, 6-0.
In doubles play, Ball State was able to advance both of its duos into the round of 16, but both failed to move on further, as the duo of Sanders and Moore lost to Julia Fellerhoff and Rebecca Shine of Louisville, while Earnest and Toni Ormond fell to Memphis’ Alyssa Hibberd and Caroline Wegner.
Day three action of the Ohio Valley Regional continues Sunday in Memphis, Tenn.
