BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Ball State men ‘s tennis team began its spring campaign at Big Ten foe Indiana with the Cardinals suffering a 7-0 loss to the Hoosiers Saturday evening at the IU Tennis Center.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nIndiana secured the early 1-0 advantage by sweeping the doubles point. The Hoosiers’ doubles teams utilized their indoor home-court advantage to move the Cardinals around the baseline, clinching the necessary wins quickly to set the tone for the afternoon.
\n\u00a0
\nBall State’s top duo of Jeremy Milette<\/a> and Andrei Caragea<\/a> were played the closest falling to the Hoosiers’ top doubles tandem of Matteo Antonescu and Michael Andre, 6-4.
\n\u00a0
\nIndiana carried that energy into the late afternoon clash with Ball State by taking all six singles matches from the Cardinals. The Hoosiers’ depth proved too much for the young Ball State roster. Junior Sam Landau, who competed in the NCAA Individual Championships this past fall, and fellow junior Facundo Yunis led the charge at the top of the lineup.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nDespite the final score, Ball State returners Jacks Lancaster<\/a> and Drew Hayward<\/a> fought through tight sets, but the Hoosiers’ sophomores and freshmen, including newcomers Aryan Badlani and Aidan Atwood, maintained control to finalize the shutout.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Ball State men’s tennis team opens its home slate on Saturday when it hosts Xavier at 12 pm ET in the Cardinals’ indoor tennis facility First Serve.\u00a0
