October 13, 2022 | Field Hockey
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team will head to the state of Kentucky for two games this weekend beginning with Mid-American Conference action against Bellarmine on Friday at 1 pm ET. The Cardinals will then close the two-game weekend on Sunday when Ball State faces its third top 10 ranked opponent No. 7 Louisville at 2 pm ET. Both contests will be played at Trager Stadium.
Ball State (6-6, 3-1 MAC) and Bellarmine (4-9, 2-2 MAC) have met a total of six times with the Cardinals leading the all-time series 4-2. Four of the six meetings have been in Muncie. The last time the Cardinals defeated the Knights was a 3-1 take down on April 3, 2021, at the Briner Sports Complex. Bellarmine won both meetings last season — a 2-1 victory over BSU in Louisville, Ky., on August 29, 2021, and a 2-1 win in Muncie on Oct. 15, 2021. Ball State will see a familiar face on the sidelines at Bellarmine as the Knights head coach is former Ball State field hockey alum Devanny Boisvert who played for the Cardinals from 2008-2011.
After Friday, Ball State will then take on No. 7 Louisville on Sunday afternoon in non-conference action. Ball State leads the all-time series over Louisville, 15-13 with UofL winning the last seven meetings. Before joining the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Louisville was a member of the Mid-American Conference in field hockey from 1994 until 2004. The last meeting between the two schools was on March 7, 2021, resulting in a 5-0 loss for Ball State in Muncie.
The Ball State field hockey team will remain on the road next weekend at well when the Cardinals play at Appalachian State (Oct. 21) and Davidson College (Oct. 23).
