WBB Makes Late Comeback To Beat Cleveland State, 67-62
November 11, 2018 | Women's Basketball
MUNCIE, Ind. - Jasmin Samz scored a game-high 18 points as the Ball State women's basketball team won its first game of the season, beating Cleveland State 67-62 Sunday afternoon in Worthen Arena.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 1-1 on the season while the Vikings drop to 1-2 overall.
"I am so proud of these kids," Ball State women's basketball coach Brady Sallee said. "Going back to the last game and the work they put in and the want to they showed in practice and the want to these last 40 minutes. I think it is more powerful when you have to earn it and work for it and we definitely did that tonight.
In a game that consisted of 15 lead changes and eight ties, the Cardinals managed to come out on top. Ball State found themselves down by eight (60-52) with 5:30 remaining in the contest.
Thelma Dis Agustsdottir jump shot at the 4:29 mark sparked a 10-0 run for the Cardinals. Samz would hit a trifecta with 1:26 remaining in the contest to give Ball State its lead back for good, 64-62.
After that, the Cardinals pulled down some key rebounds and Maliah Howard-Bass drew an offensive foul from the Vikings Jade Ely to give the possession arrow back to Ball State.
As time was winding down, the Vikings were then forced to foul the Cardinals in their last efforts to win the ball game. Samz and Oshlynn Brown went 3-for-4 from the charity stripe to seal the victory for the Cardinals.
Samz finished with 18 points after shooting 43 percent from the field (7-of-9). Dis Agustsdottir added a season best 11 points while teammate Brown added 10 points and nine rebounds.
The Ball State women's basketball team will play at Missouri State Saturday at 3 p.m. ET in the JQH Arena.
