September 16, 2021 | Field Hockey
MUNCIE, Ind. - It is something every team looks forward to after playing some very tough non-conference games. The Cardinals will now begin their quest for a Mid-American Conference title which begins Friday at the Briner Sports Complex in BSU's league opener against Central Michigan beginning at 1 p.m. ET.
The Cardinals enter Friday's contest with a 2-5 ledger while the Chippewas come to Muncie with a 1-4 record.
The last time these two teams collided was on Ball State's home turf on September 28, 2019 at the Briner Sports Complex when the Cardinals shutout the Chippewas by a score of 2-0. Current junior Angel Nkosi was one of two Cardinals that scored for Ball State in the contest. Ball State and CMU did play last spring in their non-traditional seasons in Mount Pleasant which resulted in a weekend split with the Chippewas winning 1-0 on April 17 and the Cardinals closing the competition with a 2-0 victory on April 18. Current sophomore Maureen Donegan and junior Kerrianne McClay both found the back of the cage for the Cardinals that game.
After Friday, the Cardinals will continue league action when they travel to Ohio University on Sept. 24 for a 3 p.m. ET match-up against the Bobcats before returning home Sunday, Sept. 26 to host Big Ten foe Indiana.
