Senior Day Set for Sunday vs Queens
The Ball State soccer team wraps up it three-match roadswing on Thursday night at Austin Peay before returning home to host Queens on Sunday afternoon.
Thursday's match in Clarksville, Tenn., is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT) and will be streamed on ESPN+. Sunday's Senior Day match is slated for 1 p.m. at the Briner Sports Complex. Links to the video streams and live stats can be found above and on the schedule page.
Kaitlyn Fraser, Abby Jenkins, Alex McPhee and Maya Millis will be recognized pregame on Sunday before the Cardinals take on the Royals.
Ball State beat Michigan 2-1 last Sunday in Ann Arbor for the program's third-ever triumph over an opponent from the Big Ten Conference and the first since 2004 at Indiana. Midfielder Addie Chester scored in the 20th minute to tie the match at 1-1 before forward Delaney Caldwell kicked in what proved to be the game-winning goal in the 30th minute to take down the Wolverines.
Caldwell's three goals on the year paces the Cardinals and ranks fourth among Mid-American Conference student-athletes while Chester's two assists ranks third in the league.
The matchups this week will be the second in series history between the Cardinals and both the Governors and Royals, as Ball State beat Austin Peay 3-0 last Sept. 10 in Muncie and tied with Queens 0-0 on Aug. 21, 2022 in Charlotte.
SCOUTING AUSTIN PEAY: The Governors are 2-2-1 and are coming off recent road losses at Murray State and Lindenwood. They were picked to finish seventh in the 12-team Atlantic Sun Conference in the preseason coaches poll after going 5-11-5 (3-5-3 ASUN) in 2023.
Austin Peay paces the conference in corner kicks per game (6.6) to rank No. 48 in NCAA Division I. The Governors are second in the ASUN in total goals (seven), assists (six) and points (20) so far this season.
Sophomore goalkeeper Lauryn Berry has played all 450 minutes in goal, and her 23 saves ranks second in the conference and 54th nationally.
SCOUTING QUEENS: The Royals blanked Winthrop 2-0 on Sunday to better their record to 3-2, and they will play at No. 5 Michigan State on Thursday night before meeting up with the Cardinals.
Queens is second in the ASUN with a +0.4 average scoring margin and 0.8 goals against average. The Royals were picked ninth in the Atlantic Sun preseason coaches poll after finishing the 2023 campaign 4-7-8 (2-3-6 ASUN). Queens made the jump from NCAA Division II to I beginning in 2022.
Junior goalkeeper Kelsey Jargstorf's .833 save percentage ranks second in the conference so far this year.
