Trojans Fall in Doubleheader at Ball State

MUNCIE, Ind. – The Taylor men's tennis team fell in a pair of matches against NCAA Division I opponent Ball State on Saturday.

The Trojans were competitive all afternoon but failed to claim any victories during the afternoon doubleheader.

"Although we didn't pick up any victories today we did play some solid tennis," Taylor coach Don Taylor said. "It was good to see the improvements the guys have made since the fall season and I'm hopeful that playing this level of competition will benefit us moving forward this spring."

Taylor returns to action is April 4 when the Trojans travel to Anderson University for a 4:00 pm match.
