October 02, 2022 | Field Hockey
 ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Ball State field hockey team closed out its two-game weekend against one of the nation's top-ranked teams Sunday afternoon, suffering a 7-0 loss at No. 8 Michigan.Â
Â
Despite its best effort, the Cardinals (5-5) could not stop the Wolverines (6-4) strong offensive approach eventually building a 3-0 edge over Ball State after the first 30 minutes of action. Michigan has also recently defeated fellow Mid-American Conference programs Central Michigan (9-0) and Miami (1-0).
Â
The weekend wasn't a total loss for the Cardinals though, Ball State won in Mid-American Conference action on Friday in a thrilling 4-3 double overtime victory over the Chippewas in Mount Pleasant, Mich.Â
Â
The Ball State field hockey team will return home to the Briner Sports Complex next weekend when it hosts Ohio University for a 1 pm ET MAC showdown. The Cardinals will also face their fourth Big Ten opponent of the season when BSU welcomes Michigan State to Muncie on Sunday at 1 pm ET.
