Ball State softball returned to Muncie to face Mid-American Conference (MAC) foe Northern Illinois for a doubleheader Tuesday afternoon. The contest did not go the Cardinals’ way as they were swept 2-0.Game One The opening game between the Cardinals and Huskies came down to one thing: defense. Though Ball State has been a high-scoring team this season — the Cardinals average 7.8 runs per game — that was not the case for this contest. Through the first four innings, Ball State did not record a hit. “We know our offense and we know what we're capable of,” Peña said. “We just really have to swing at our pitches. I think we chased a bit early in counts, which is usually not like us, and we didn't take away their best pitch.” Though the Cardinals struggled at the plate, redshirt junior Katie Van Der Mark found some success as she recorded three walks in the contest. “I've been working on pitch selection all season, and going into today, I was really just thinking middle three,” Van Der Mark said. “I was really just letting [the pitchers] come to me, and she was struggling a little bit finding the zone, and I didn't want to make anything too big.”While Ball State’s (21-10, 6-4 MAC) hitting game was limited, the Huskies and Cardinals both finished the game with five knocks. Though either team scored in the first six innings, the seventh and final inning became the decider. It started with some singles by the Huskies (10-20, 5-6 MAC). Then, back-to-back fielder’s choice plays allowed the visitors to score two runs, taking a 2-0 lead. Though sophomore Maia Pietrzak launched a solo home run in the bottom half of the inning and the Cardinals had two baserunners following that, Ball State could not score them. This snapped a four-game win streak. Game Two Though Ball State did not score until the final inning of the first game, the Cardinals flipped the script in game two. In the bottom of the first inning, Pietrzak launched her second solo shot of the day to give the home team a 1-0 lead. She ended the day with three hits. “I just wanted to go out there and get momentum going for my team and to just have my pitcher’s back,” Pietrzak said. Following the big fly, the Huskies took no time to tie the game as an RBI double knotted the contest 1-1 in the bottom of the second. This was not the last time Northern Illinois found the scoreboard as sophomore Kayla Estrada hit a two-run home run to give the visitors a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth. Following that, both defenses found similar momentum to the first game. Ball State had a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh after junior Ella Whitney launched a solo shot. However, the Cardinals could not get over the hump, falling 3-2. Ball State now sits in fourth place in the MAC. Though the Cardinals were disappointed with the loss, today’s games serve as an opportunity to get better, according to Peña. “It's an incredible learning moment. That's what you take from it,” Peña said. “It's just a reminder that this game is hard and winning is hard. We've got to execute more consistently to be able to see those results. “It's just getting back to us and being able to respond well to something like this. I feel like that's going to show what kind of team we are with how we respond after a day like this.” Ball State will be back this weekend as they travel to Kent State. The first game will be played Saturday, April 5 with first pitch happening at 11 a.m.Contact Zach Carter via email at zachary.carter@bsu.edu or via X @ZachCarter85.

As the regular season is coming to an end, it is crunch time for the Ball State men’s volleyball squad, as they are fighting for that number one spot in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA). The Cardinals had two important conference games this weekend, as they dropped game one to Quincy 3-2 (25-13, 20-25, 25-16, 21-25, 8-15) and won game two against number ten ranked McKendree 3-1 (25-13, 24-26, 25-23, 25-23).Game One:In a battle between two teams on the opposite ends of the standings, the Quincy Hawks paid the Ball State Cardinals a visit for a Friday evening match. The Hawks came into this game last in the conference, while the Cardinals were eying the number one spot.In the first set, the Cardinals came out firing. They took full control with a 10-3 lead in the set. The “X-factor” in the set was junior outside hitter Ryan Bartz, who subbed into the game and recorded three kills, putting the nail in the coffin to give the Cardinals a set one victory. Leading into the second set, Quincy was much more competitive. In the midway part of the set, Ball State picked up momentum and gained a 12-8 lead, but Quincy was quick to respond. The Hawks went on a 6-0 run to take a commanding lead in the set, and eventually evened up the score, winning set two.Sets three and four were similar for both teams, as the Cardinals took set three handedly, and the Hawks did the same in set four to force a fifth set. This was Ball State’s ninth five-set match, an area where they have struggled all season.In the fifth set, it was all Quincy. Even though they came in with the lesser team on paper, they dominated the fifth set to get revenge on the Cardinals. Ball State head coach Donan Cruz talked about how the team has to be ready every single game.“In those moments, you have to be ready to play whatever comes your way when you play elite volleyball.”Game Two:Coming off a disappointing home loss, Ball State was hungry to get back into the win column. The Cardinals welcomed a familiar foe into Worthen Arena: the tenth-ranked McKendree Bearcats. This game was important for the Cardinals, as they are chasing the Bearcats in the MIVA standings.Not only was it an important game for the standings, but it was also Senior Day, and the Cardinals wanted to celebrate their seniors with a win.Going into the opening set, everyone could tell the Cardinals were playing with anger from their last loss. They dominated the first portion of the set, taking a 10-3 lead over the Bearcats. From that point on, the red and white controlled the set, and went on to take a swift set one victory. The set was capped off by a kill by junior outside hitter Patrick Rogers, who finished the game with twenty kills. Rogers spoke about his performance. “I had a lot of support from my teammates,” Rogers said. “Peter [Zurawski] was setting really well and things were flowing great.”Leading into the second set, the Cardinals kept up the momentum that they had in the opening set. The Bearcats had no answers for them, and the Cardinals took a 17-14 lead, looking like they were on the way to a 2-0 lead. But the Bearcats came battling back, and they flipped the switch on the set to take a set two win, evening the score.It felt as if momentum was switching to McKendree in the third set, as they were looking to take a lead in the match. That momentum did not last long for the Bearcats, as senior outside hitter Tinaishe Ndavazocheva and Rogers took over the set, leading to a victory for the Cardinals.Ndavazocheva finished the set by recording a kill, and he talked about how big that point was to shift momentum.“Getting that point just boosted everyone’s momentum,” Ndavazocheva said. “It showed us that we have the capability of not just winning, but dominating that team [McKendree].”Having a 2-1 lead, Ball State was looking to cap off senior day in a positive way. The Bearcats controlled most of the set, but with the help of Ndavazocheva and Rogers, the Cardinals rallied late in the set to win. The star duo combined for four kills to end the game, proving why they are amongst the best players in the country.Cruz had a lot to love about the team’s performance today, and he spoke on the effort that the guys were giving.“The effort was there 100% of the time,” Cruz said. “Even when we were in bad situations we really had to lock in and focus. We never wavered.”It was an emotional senior day for players like Ndavazocheva, but Rogers was emotional knowing he only has a few more games with his senior teammates.“They are a huge part of the leadership on this team, and they are all of our best friends,” Rogers said. “It was definitely emotional. The waterworks came after the game for sure.”Even though senior day is a reminder to Cruz that a lot of talent is leaving, he is hopeful for the young talent that the Cardinals have to offer.“We feel great about the future of our volleyball program,” Cruz said. “Some of them are already here, and some of them will arrive on campus in August. It is always about putting ourselves in a position where we can develop really physical and talented athletes.”Ball State will be back in action on Thursday, April 3rd at Ohio State University at 7 p.m.Contact Kyle Stout via email @kyle.stout@bsu.edu or via X @kylestoutdailyn
