Men's Tennis Hosts Ball State for Senior Day on Thursday

KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan men's tennis team hosts Ball State on Thursday at 1 p.m. for its final Mid-American Conference home match of the season.

Admission is free, with live scoring available at www.wmu.statbroadcast.com. Prior to the start of the match, the Broncos will take time to honor graduate student Tim Riedel as part of Senior Day.

LAST WEEK

The Broncos extended their winning streak to four matches after a pair of tight wins against Buffalo and Toledo in Kalamazoo. WMU downed the Bulls, 4-3, last Thursday and then followed it up with a 4-3 win against Toledo on Sunday.

CLEAN SWEEP

Western Michigan swept the MAC Weekly Awards this week with junior Ashton Adesoro earning Singles Player of the Week, while sophomores Alex Antonopoulos and Oscar Corwin were named the Doubles Team of the Week.

Adesoro was responsible for the match-clinching points in both wins over the Bulls and the Rockets. Antonopoulos and Corwin helped the Broncos earn the doubles point in each match.

SCOUTING THE CARDINALS

Ball State (9-9, 4-3 MAC) sit a game behind both WMU and Buffalo (5-2 MAC) in the conference standings. Last week, the Cardinals defeated Toledo, 4-3, and fell to Buffalo 4-3.

The two teams met a few weeks ago in Muncie, with the Broncos sweeping the Cardinals, 7-0.

ON THE HORIZON

Western Michigan wraps up the regular season next Thursday at MAC-leaders Northern Illinois and then heads to UIC on Saturday.
