Ball State turned heads with its 66-60 victory over Big Ten foe Purdue last week. It marked the first time since 1979 a Ball State women's basketball team had taken down the Boilermakers. The win also marked the Cardinals' second victory over a Power 5 conference program this season, as Ball State defeated Vanderbilt 88-79 on the road Nov. 20.

The Ball State women's basketball team will look to extend its win streak to 10 Monday, Dec. 18 when it hosts Austin Peay for its annual Kids Day Event. Tipoff is at 11 a.m. in Worthen Arena.
