Field Hockey Ends Season at Michigan State Sunday
October 29, 2023 | Field Hockey
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Ball State field hockey team (7-11) ended its 2023 season Sunday afternoon after suffering a 4-0 loss at Big Ten foe Michigan State (4-12).
Senior Hannah Johnston started in goal, facing seven corners while tallying two saves.
The Cardinals struggled offensively and couldn't seem to get into a rhythm despite their efforts. Kerrianne McClay led Ball State with two shot attempts while Fleur Knopert had one shot on goal.
It wasn't a total loss for the Cardinals today, defensively Ball State held Michigan State scoreless the entirety of the second and third quarters.
The Spartans scored two goals in both the first and fourth periods which ultimately led to Michigan State's victory today.
All-in-all the Cardinals had another successful season under second-year head coach Caitlin Walsh winning seven games total for back-to-back seasons a feat Ball State has not accomplished in over a decade.
