August 11, 2026 | Soccer
*Schedule Update - Wednesday's match has been postponed due to inclement weather and will now be played at 4 p.m. on Thursday, August 13.
The Ball State soccer team gets the regular season started with a 4 p.m. match on Wednesday against IU Indy at the Briner Sports Complex.
Links to the video stream and live stats can be found above and on the schedule page.
The Cardinals are coming off a 10-7-3 (7-4-1 Mid-American Conference) season in 2025 in head coach Andy Stoots' first year leading the program.
IU Indy went 4-11-3 (3-5-2 Horizon League) last year in head coach Angela Berry White's first in charge of the program. Ball State beat the Jaguars 1-0 last Aug. 31 in Indianapolis and holds a 7-3-2 edge in the series history against IU Indy.
Ball State returns an experienced backfield including defenders Delaney Ahearn, Audrey Goodyear, Grier Isaacson and Jordyn Klaasen and junior goalkeeper Kate Pallante that helped the team shut out No. 5 seed Kent State in last season's Mid-American Conference Tournament on the way to advancing via a penalty kick shootout.
Seven freshmen and two transfers join 16 returners to form the 2026 roster. The two transfers are junior forwards Francesca Terrasi (Florida International) and Caleigh Collard.
True freshmen include defenders Kari Radford and Caiya Clemons, midfielders Natalia Garcia-Souffront, Mary Jane Keller, Anna Kate Robillard and Kate Klinginsmith and forward Lilamae Frank.
Following consecutive road contests at Butler (Aug. 20), Western Kentucky (Aug. 23) and Purdue (Aug. 27), the Cardinals will return home to host Cincinnati on Aug. 30.
