MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team returns home to the Briner Sports Complex for two games this week against No. 11 Louisville (Wednesday) and Ohio (Friday). Both games are scheduled for 3 p.m. starts and will be aired live on ESPN+ and ESPN3, respectively.
The Cardinals enter this week's competition with an overall record of 1-9 and a 1-1 Mid-American Conference ledger. Ball State played three games last week. After losing in overtime by a score of 5-4 at home to UC Davis, the Cardinals rebounded with their first win of the season at Appalachian State, 1-0, in overtime. Redshirt sophomore Rachel Pereira found the net at the 77:21 mark to give Ball State the victory over the Mountaineers. The Cardinals then wrapped up their road weekend with a loss to the nation's top team North Carolina on Sunday.
Louisville comes to Ball State with an overall record of 8-3 and is ranked 11th nationally. Louisville is coming off of a 2-0 victory at No. 15 Virginia last Saturday. Ball State and Louisville last met on Sept. 3, 2012, a 5-0 home win for UofL. Louisville leads the all-time series 15-11 and has won the last five over Ball State. BSU last defeated Louisville by a 2-1 decision Sept. 24, 2004 in Muncie.
The Cardinals will close out this week's home action with a MAC game against Ohio for their "Think Pink" game. The Ball State marketing department will be giving away rally towels provided by Mutual Bank while supplies last.
The Bobcats are 4-5 overall and 2-0 in conference action. Ohio is coming off a 5-1 road loss Sunday at Drexel. Since 2006, the Bobcats are 11-3 against the Cardinals. Last year Ball State defeated the Ohio in Muncie by a 4-1 decision. Michelle Shampton, Anya Eicher and Sierra Jefferson each registered goals against Ohio last season.
After this weekend, the Ball State field hockey team will continue MAC play at Kent State (Oct. 12) before returning to non-conference action at Big Ten foe Michigan (Oct. 14).
