MARK YOUR CALENDARS: One Ball State Day April 1st, 2026
March 18, 2026 | Women's Volleyball
Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal — and this Day of Giving is about bringing our volleyball family back together.
Ball State Women's Volleyball is gearing up for an unforgettable international tour to Spain and Portugal this June, and we want you to be part of the journey.
Every women's volleyball player and coach will participate in ONE event (BOWL a thon, HIT a thon or HOT SHOT a thon). Would you consider pledging today? We not only want to compete to raise the most of any team in the athletics department, but all funds raised go directly to our team International Trip to Spain and Portugal this June.
Donations and pledge information for every player and coach can be made on this website: https://BallStateSports.com/WVBPledge
On One Ball State Day, APRIL 1st, the results for each player and coach will be announced on our social media @BallStateWVB and a WVB staff member will email you directly with the results of your pledge. You will then be able to donate to our One Ball State Day link that will be provided to you in that email.
Additionally, you can go to https://connect.bsu.edu/Give-CVC, click the drop-down menu to Women's Volleyball to donate anytime. You also can donate by writing a check to:

BOWL-A-THON
PARTICIPANTS: #1 Audrey Geer, #13 Gwen Crull, #14 Ava Smith, #16 Alana Bailey, #18 Riley Whitlock, Coach Darcy
Each Bowler will participate in one standard bowling game. Donation will be based on total score for that game.
$0.50 per pin minimum donation. Each bowler can score a maximum of 300, but we estimate most scores between 90-120.
Flat donations are accepted if you want to have a one-time donation at https://connect.bsu.edu/Give-CVC, click the drop-down menu to Women's Volleyball to donate.
HIT-A-THON
PARTICIPANTS: #2 Reese Axness, #4 Kendall Eden, #6 Merritt Sliwa, #8 Lindsey Green, #11 Tiffany Snook, #12 Sophie Ledbetter, #21 Maddie Buckley, Coach Brad, Coach Kelli
Each Hitter will get 25 swings during their at bat. Every hit that makes it out of the infield on the softball field, will be worth 5 point. Every hit that makes it to the outfield in the air will be considered a Home Run and worth 10 points. Any true home run swing over the fence will be worth 20 points. Donations will be based on total points scored in the 25 swing at bat.
$0.50 per point minimum donation. The maximum score would be 500 if every swing was an over the fence home run.

Each Shooter will get 50 shot attempts. Every lay up hit is 1 point. Every free throw hit is 3 points. Every three-pointer hit is 5 points. Donations will be based on total points scored in the 50 shot attempts. $0.50 per point minimum donation. The maximum score would be 250 points if every shot was a three-pointer and it went in.
