The 2022 season was yet another rollercoaster campaign in Muncie, and it ultimately ended in disappointing fashion.
Ball State posted a 3-1 start to MAC play, and was positioned nicely to capture a West division crown. However, the Cardinals squandered their mid-season opportunity. Amidst offensive struggles and a recurring paralysis in close games, the cardinal and white dropped three consecutive contests to close out the year.
The squad’s 2022 record (5-7) marked the second consecutive losing season for Ball State, making the upcoming 2023 campaign critical for the program and the fate of its head coach, Mike Neu.
