The game was a defensive battle for the entire 60 minutes of regulation. The Mountaineers drew eight corners while the Cardinals had five, but neither could capitalize on those opportunities.
Defensively, sophomore goalkeeper Hannah Johnston got the win for BSU and had a personal best 10 saves.
The Ball State field hockey team continues its home weekend Sunday, when it hosts No. 6 Northwestern at the Briner Sports Complex beginning at noon.
