Second Half Offensive Explosion Leads Soccer to Big Win over Queens
September 08, 2024 | Soccer
Seven Goals for the Cardinals are the 2nd-Most in Program History
The Cardinals (4-2) led 1-0 at the break after Delaney Caldwell's goal in the 4th minute proved to be the only scoring of the first half. Addie Chester assisted on the early offensive tally.
Caldwell returned the favor to Chester in the first minute of the second half as the Cardinals pushed the edge to 2-0. A little more than a minute later, Avery Fenchel connected on her second goal of the year off a helper from Caldwell.
Ball State extended its advantage to 4-0 when the Caldwell to Chester connection was successful again in the 59th minute. Caldwell's trio of assists were her first three of the year and her opening goal increased the junior's season-best total to five.
After the Royals (3-4) produced their only tally of the contest in the 68th minute, LG Moncrief (69'), Acadia Murphy (74') and Kaelyn Valleau (82') provided insurance scores for the Cardinals, who tied for the second-most goals in a match in program history with the most since 2001.
Grace Konopatzki collected a save and shut out the Royals in the first half to improve her record to 2-2, while Kate Pallante finished the game out in goal for the fourth consecutive match.
Overall, the Cardinals got off 23 shots (12 on goals) to five shots (two on goal) for Queens and controlled possession for about twice as long as the visitors from Charlotte, N.C. Caldwell, Chester, Fenchel, Murphy and Valleau each had at least one goal and one assist each.
Up next for Ball State is a home battle at 4 p.m. on Thursday against IU Indy. The contest is set to be streamed on ESPN+.
