Women's Basketball Defeats IU Kokomo in Exhibition Play

MUNCIE, Ind. - It appears as if the Cardinals picked up right where they left off from last year's record-breaking season after opening the game with a stingy defense and an offensive rhythm that couldn't be stopped. That hard core toughness led to Ball State's impressive, 98-45, win over IU Kokomo in exhibition action Wednesday night in Worthen Arena.
The Cardinals handled the ball well, made good passes, and found open shots especially inside the paint. The well-rounded offense allowed Ball State to do what they do best and that's make baskets from all areas of the court. All-in-all the team chemistry seemed to remain the same from last season's squad despite some new faces on the court.
A total of 11 different players saw action for the Cardinals, with all 11 scoring at least two points or more. The high scorers for Ball State had 15, 14, and 10, respectively.
But ultimately what jumped off the stat page the most was the Cardinals defense, holding the Cougars to under 50 points while forcing them to commit 23 turnovers in which BSU turned into 24 points.
The Cardinals will now officially open their season at home against Old Dominion on Monday, Nov. 4 at 6:30 pm ET in Worthen Arena for the first of two MAC/SBC Challenge games.
