The Cardinals scored early in the game against Akron (5-3-2, 0-3-0 MAC) sending them home with a 1-0 win. This leaves Ball State (6-4) with a 1-2-0 Mid-American Conference (MAC) record. Akron left with their third recorded loss in conference play this season.
Junior midfielder Addie Chester scored in the 6’ minute of the game with an assist from graduate student forward Avery Fenchel and junior forward Emily Roper. This made Chesters sixth goal of the season and first conference goal as a Cardinal.
Aggression from both sides was consistent, leaving 11 fouls from opposing teams. However, Ball State was hungry for a win in conference play pushing the front line resulting in two offside calls. The Cardinals played offensively with seven shots on goal while the Zips remained at two.
Ball State is back at the Briner Sports Complex Sept. 29 at 1 p.m. to play Eastern Michigan.
The game will feature a recognition ceremony to women’s empowerment and alumni.
