MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team looks to get back on the winning track at home this weekend when it hosts Bellarmine Friday for at 1 pm ET at the Brinder Sports Complex. The Cardinals will then close out this weekend's home play versus Big Ten foe Indiana on Sunday starting at noon.
Ball State (5-7, 2-2 MAC) and Bellarmine (5-7, 2-2 MAC) have met a total of seven times with the Cardinals leading the all-time series 5-2. Four of the seven meetings have been in Muncie.

On Sunday, Ball State will welcome Big Ten foe Indiana (5-8). The last time the Cardinals defeated the Hoosiers was in 2012 when IU played in Muncie. Ball State won that game by a score of 3-2.
