October 28, 2016 | Field Hockey
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Ball State field hockey team finished up its regular season action with a 3-1 win at Central Michigan Friday afternoon.
The Cardinals and the Chippewas were both scoreless heading into the half, but Ball State came out fired up to start the second. Redshirt junior Merinda Morley scored her second goal of the season off a penalty corner from Lexi Kavanaugh and Bryce Barnes just five minutes into the second half.
Senior Lexi Kavanaugh scored the second goal of the day in the 51st minute of the game to put the Cardinals ahead 2-0. Kavanaugh's goal, her fifth of the season, was assisted by freshman Haley Jolly.
Central Michigan cut the lead to one in the 66th minute with a goal from Emily Barber.
The Cardinals' Hannah Bohn turned right around and scored her third goal of the season assisted by sophomore Darbi Gullett just one minute after the CMU goal to seal the Cardinal victory.
The fate of Ball State's Mid-American Conference Tournament berth will be decided after tomorrow's games. The MAC Tournament bracket will be released tomorrow afternoon.
