Last season, the Ball State Cardinals won over 20 games for the second consecutive season under coach Brady Sallee and were invited to the WNIT yet again. According to this article from the Daily News, the Cardinals want more. While I am sure they would be happy with a 6th consecutive appearance in that tournament, the ultimate goal is to reach the NCAA tournament.
In the front court, Moriah Monaco returns along with her 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game average. Destiny Washington also returns and she averaged 10.2 points and 6.2 rebounds, so I am confident that part of the Cardinals team will be fine.
