Central Michigan earned seven shots with five penalty corners before Ball State was forced to take a timeout in the first period. Minutes later the Cardinals were able to attempt three penalty corner opportunities in a span of two minutes. However, Ball State managed just four shots during the first 35 minutes while giving up two goals.
