Field Hockey Falls to ACC Foe Stanford Sunday
September 01, 2024 | Field Hockey
MUNCIE, Ind. - For the first time since the 2001 season, the Cardinals welcomed Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) foe Stanford to Muncie Sunday afternoon. Despite the Cardinals stingy defense, Ball State was unable to keep up with Stanford's fast paced offence, losing today's contest by a 5-0 decision at the Briner Sports Complex.Â
Â
The Cardinals (0-2) gave it their best efforts versus Stanford (2-0) for the 60-minute duration but couldn't slow down the talented Stanford Cardinal from scoring two goals in the first half and then three more after intermission.Â
Â
Ball State was plagued the most by penalty corners with Stanford leading that category 12-2.Â
Â
Hannah Johnston once again was in goal for the Cardinals. Johnston came up with some big time saves throughout the contest, considering how many corners she had to face. The senior goalkeeper finished the game with eight saves.Â
Â
Offensively, the Cardinals struggled with passing and time of possession in the scoring circle. Emma van Hal who had two goals against Saint Francis Friday in BSU's opener led the Cardinals with two shots, including one shot on goal.Â
Â
The Ball State field hockey team will play three games on the road which begins Sunday, Sept. 8 at Saint Louis beginning at noon. After that, the Cardinals take on the Hoosiers in Bloomington, Ind., on Sept. 13 before opening Mid-American Conference action at Kent State (Sept. 20).
