October 26, 2025 | Soccer
MUNCIE, Ind. – Delaney Caldwell scored an early goal to put Ball State ahead 1-0, but Miami (OH) responded with two second half goals to take a 2-1 decision on Sunday afternoon at the Briner Sports Complex.
The Cardinals (9-6-2, 6-4-1 Mid-American Conference) took the lead into halftime against the RedHawks (10-5-2, 7-2-2 MAC), but the visitors scored in the 55th and 74th minutes to claim the road win and snap Ball State's four-match winning streak.
Caldwell scored her fourth goal of the season, and 20th of her collegiate career, off an assist from Tori Monaco in the 13th minute to give the Cardinals the edge. The helper was Monaco's fifth of the year.
LG Moncrief led the hosts with three shots, including one on goal, while Caldwell, Addie Chester, Emily Roper and Izzy Ross had two shots each.
Ball State goalkeeper Kate Pallante made seven saves, including six in the second half. Delaney Ahearn, Grier Isaacson and Jordyn Klaasen joined Pallante as Cardinals that played the full 90 minutes.
Miami took more shots (15-11) and generated more corner kicks (10-3) but was whistled for more fouls (14-9).
Ball State finished the day in fifth place in the conference standings. The MAC Tournament is set to start on Saturday, Nov. 1 in Columbus, Ohio.
The Cardinals will conclude the regular season on Wednesday with a 3 p.m. ET (2 p.m. CT) match at Northern Illinois.
