Ball State Cardinals
ROME, Ga. — Ball State sophomore men's tennis standout
Andrei Caragea concluded a remarkable postseason run Saturday afternoon, wrapping up play at the prestigious 2026 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Masters Championship in the consolation semifinals.
Caragea, who punched his ticket to Rome by winning the MAC Indoor Singles Championship last month, battled through an elite national field. After dropping a tough opening-round main draw match to Middle Tennessee's Birtan Duran (6-4, 6-3) on Thursday, the sophomore quickly regrouped.
Moving into the backdraw, Caragea found his rhythm and put together a string of resilient victories in the consolation draw before his tournament run came to a close on Saturday.
The Ball State men's tennis team is wrapping up its fall play this weekend and will open its spring season on Jan. 13 at Indiana University.
