MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State field hockey team has scheduled eight spring competitions in four days during the months of March and April.

The team plays Sunday, March 29 at Big Ten foe Indiana as well as Big East opponent Louisville. On Saturday, April 4, the team travels to Louisville, Ky. to face Miami and Ohio. Saturday, April 18 the Cardinals take on Ohio State, Kent State and Indiana.
Ball State plays in its annual Alumni game Saturday, April 25 at the BSU Turf Field.
Ball State played all teams except Louisville during the 2008 season, including a close 3-1 loss to Mid-American Conference Champions Kent State.
