Cardinals’ Offense Soars in Road Win at Akron on Sunday
October 04, 2026 | Soccer
AKRON, Ohio - The Ball State soccer team earned a season-high three goals in Sunday afternoon's 3-0 victory at Akron. Three different Cardinals booted the ball into the back of the net for the most goals scored by the team since playing Akron on Oct. 12, 2025.
Anna Kate Robillard started the scoring in the 41st minute off a feed from LG Moncrief to give the Cardinals (4-5-3, 1-2-2 Mid-American Conference) a 1-0 edge.
Audrey Goodyear joined Robillard in scoring her first goal of her career in the 80th minute off another dish by Moncrief. In the 89th minute, Kaelyn Valleau capitalized for the Cardinals' offense off an Annika Klauss assist to end the day over the Zips (6-5-1, 2-2-1 MAC).
For the day, Ball State took 13 shots (7 on goal) compared to five for Akron (two on goal). The Cardinals earned more corner kicks (4-3) than the Zips and were whistled for more fouls (9-8).
Junior goalkeeper Kate Pallante made two saves in 90 minutes. Five other Cardinals recorded 90 minutes in the victory along with Pallante.
The Ball State defense prevented Akron from getting a shot off in the first half. The Cardinals' defense has recorded four clean sheets this season.
Ball State will return to Muncie and host Bowling Green at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
