TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo men's tennis team hits the road for a Saturday afternoon match at Ball State. The contest between the Rockets and Cardinals is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
"Our matches with Ball State have been close, much of the time, for a while," head coach Al Wermer said. "Generally, the play has been pretty high level, and it comes down to a handful of big points for both doubles and singles."
Last Time Out

On Sunday, senior Thawin Suksathaporn won on the No. 3 court in three sets to claim the only Rocket victory against the Broncos. WMU came away victorious in doubles and won five of the six singles battles as well.
