MUNCIE, Ind. - No matter the season, a team's first road trip will always be a test, and unfortunately for the Cardinals Sunday at Bellarmine, they were unable to pass it.
Ball State entered today's contest fresh off a stellar defensive performance against nationally-ranked Ohio State Friday afternoon in Muncie.
The Cardinals brought that same energy to the field today but unfortunately suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Bellarmine in the final 15 minutes of action at Trager Stadium.
"Hats off to Bellarmine as they brought great intensity to the start of today's game and finished it with an incredible defensive effort," Ball State head coach Stephanie Bernthal said.
