MUNCIE, Ind. - It came to no surprise that the Cardinals opened the game with a defensive intensity which ultimately led to an impressive 100-41 victory over Trine University in exhibition action Wednesday night in Worthen Arena.
Ball State handled the ball well, made good passes, had a fast paced tempo and a lot of depth. All-in-all the Cardinals team chemistry seemed to carry over from last year which was a key to their successful offense tonight.Â
A total of 13 different players saw action for the Cardinals, with all 13 scoring at least two points or more. The high scorers for Ball State had 16, 14, 13 and 11, respectively.Â
But ultimately what jumped off the stat page the most was the Cardinals defense, holding the Thunder to six points the majority of the first half. Ball State also forced Trine to commit 32 turnovers with the Cardinals scoring 43 points off those miscues.
The Ball State women's basketball team officially opens the 2023-24 season Monday, Nov. 6, when it hosts Tennessee Tech for the Cardinals' annual "Field Trip Day". The game is scheduled to tip-off at 11 a.m. ET.
