Becki & Hampton Score 1,000th Career Point as WBB Defeats Toledo
January 21, 2024 | Women's Basketball
The Cardinals remain undefeated in Mid-American Conference action with a 6-0 record while also extending their win streak to 10
MUNCIE, Ind. - It was an electric atmosphere to say the least in Worthen Arena Sunday night, as the top two teams in the Mid-American Conference battled it out on the CBS Sports Network for the top spot in the league standings.
It was Ball State that would ultimately win the battle as the Cardinals took sole possession of the MAC after defeating the Toledo Rockets, 65-51.
With the win, the Cardinals improved to 16-2 on the season, 6-0 in #MACtion while extending their win streak to 10. The 6-0 conference start is the best since the 2000-2001 season. The Rockets dropped to 12-4 overall and 5-1 in league play.
It was a record-breaking night as both Ally Becki and Nyla Hampton reached their 1,000th career point. Becki's came off a free throw at the 9:04 mark while Hampton's was a layup just two minutes later. Both occurred in the second quarter of play.
The two helped Ball State rebound after trailing Toledo the majority of first 10 minutes of action. The Cardinals redeemed themselves outscoring the Rockets 23-8 in the second period to take a 35-25 advantage over Toledo at intermission. Madelyn Bischoff ended the first half for BSU in exciting fashion with a long range 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Defensively, Ball State continued to take Toledo out of its game causing them to force shots as the shot clock would expire along with forcing the Rockets to turn over the ball. By the 5:44 mark of the third frame the Cardinals were up 56-44 while shooting 55.2 (7-16) from the floor. Although, emotions continued to be high for both squads, the Cardinals were able to take their double-digit lead (50-39) into the final quarter of play.
Ball State still had a comfortable 15-point cushion with 6:10 left in the contest over Toledo. Back-to-back layups from Hana Mühl and Alex Richard solidified that the Cardinals were going to end the night with a victory as it pushed Ball State's advantage to 20 (65-45) with two minutes remaining. The Cardinals went on to win the ball game by 14.
For the game, Bischoff led all players with 19 points while both Becki and Richard ended the night with 16 apiece. Hampton would end the double digit scoring with 10.
As a team, the Cardinals had the lead over the Rockets for 27:57 while their defense forced Toledo to commit 23 turnovers.
