MUNCIE. Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team (4-14, 2-6 MAC) will close out its 2025 regular season on Friday at UMass (14-3, 7-1 MAC) which is slated for 4 pm ET at the Gladchuk Field Hockey Complex.

With the regular season coming to a halt, the Cardinals are still hoping for an outside chance to compete in next week's MAC Tournament which will be held on the campus of James Madison. Currently, Ball State is in ninth place but the three teams ahead of them own a 3-5 record.

This will mark only the second-ever meeting between Ball State and UMass. The Minutewomen won that contest by a 3-1 decision on Sept. 9, 2000, in Muncie.

UMass is looking to be crowned the MAC regular season champions on Friday against Ball State. The Minutewomen are currently in first place in the league standings along with Miami both with a 7-1 conference ledger. Emily Barrett leads UMass offensively with eight goals, two game-winners, 42 shots and 27 shots on goal.

The Cardinals are currently led by Julia Verrati who has scored a total of six goals this season. Verratti had two scores in Ball State's win against Bellarmine on Oct. 17, including a double overtime game-winner.

In goal for Ball State will be Carleigh Hofelich who has accumulated 85 saves on the season while compiling a .714 save percentage.
