Field Hockey Falls To No. 17 Miami In Season Finale
April 24, 2021 | Field Hockey
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team closed out its 2021 nontraditional season with a 3-0 loss to No. 17 Miami Saturday afternoon at the Briner Sports Complex.
Ball State (6-10, 4-8 MAC) knew it would have its work cut out for them this weekend as Miami (13-1, 10-0 MAC) had already clinched their fourth consecutive Mid-American Conference championship prior to this weekend's two game series against the Cardinals.
Ball State came out with a lot of intensity in the opening segment of today's MAC showdown, defensively stopping Miami from scoring the majority of the first 15 minutes of action. BSU's defense also held the RedHawks scoreless in the third.
Miami scored three goals today after finding the back of the cage late in the first period then again at the start of the second frame. The RedHawks would add one more goal with about 12 minutes remaining in the contest for their final score of the day.
Seniors Jenna McKune and Rachel Pereira both made attempts to score today in their final game as a Cardinal but unfortunately, they were unable to capitalize on those opportunities.
Defensively, Wietske Overdijkink tallied a game-high nine saves. She now has 117 saves for her career in just two seasons at Ball State.
Overdijkink is currently sits in second place in the MAC in save percentage (.750).
Senior Audrey Tabor added another defensive save today in her last contest at BSU. She currently leads the league in defensive saves with six.
