MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State field hockey team (1-1) will head to California for three games this weekend. The Cardinals will first face Stanford (1-1) on Thursday and will then head to UC Davis (1-1) on Friday. Both contests will be played at 3 pm ET. Ball State will wrap up its long weekend in the Golden State at the University of California (1-1) on Sunday at 4 pm ET.

The Cardinals enter the weekend with a 1-1 record after suffering a 7-0 loss to No. 13 The Ohio State on August 29 at the Briner Sports Complex but then rebounded with a 3-2 home victory versus Saint Louis on August 31. The contest over the Billikens was highlighted by Julia Verratti who scored all three of the Cardinals goals to seal the win. Verratti now has four scores for her career.

Ball State and Stanford faced each other in Muncie last season on Sept. 1 resulting in a 5-0 loss for the Cardinals. It will mark the third-ever meeting and the first trip ever for BSU to Stanford. Stanford leads the all-time series record 2-0.

On Friday, the Cardinals head to UC Davis for their sixth meeting all-time. The last time Ball State faced UC Davis was at home last season on Oct. 22, resulting in a 3-1 loss for Ball State.

The contest Sunday against Cal Berkley will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
