Women's Volleyball Hosts Indiana State in Saturday Exhibition

MUNCIE, Ind. - - While the regular season is still a week away, that should not stop Ball State women's volleyball fans from seeing their Cardinals in action Saturday when the team welcomes Indiana State for a 2 p.m. exhibition match in Worthen Arena.

Not only will it be the first official chance to see the 2024 Cardinals in action, but it will also be the first match action for the program's new Taraflax court which was unveiled Friday morning.

Admission to the match is $10 for adults and $5 for fans in sixth grade or younger.

Looking to see more of the action? Season Tickets ($54 for Women or $89 for Men & Women) and the Volley Cards Kids Club ($30) packages are still available.

With Saturday's contest being an exhibition outing, live video and live stats will not be available.

The Cardinals return two of three First Team All-MAC selections from a year ago in senior setter Megan Wielonski and redshirt sophomore outside Aniya Kennedy. Overall, 11 players return from last year's squad which made the program's fifth postseason appearance in six years, earning a spot in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC).

Ball State won its opening-round NIVC match at host Middle Tennessee, while finishing the 2023 campaign with a 17-15 overall record and a 13-5 mark in Mid-American Conference play.

Indiana State features one of the Missouri Valley Conference's youngest rosters for the second straight season, with 13 of its 17 players being freshmen or sophomores. Last season, the Sycamores turned in a 5-23 overall record, including a 3-15 MVC mark.

Following Saturday's exhibition, the Ball State women's volleyball team opens the 2024 season Friday, Aug. 30 when it battles both Seton Hall (10 a.m.) and Bryant (4:30 p.m.) in the Florida Atlantic Invitational.
