MUNCIE, Ind. — The Ball State women's basketball team took down a program in a similar situation to its own on Sunday, a great sign for an improving team as Mid-American Conference play nears.
Ball State's 86-83 victory at Western Kentucky on Saturday showcased the team's improvement throughout the non-conference slate. The Cardinals held off a late rally and won a game that featured 14 ties and 10 lead changes.
Western Kentucky is a very good program, with 22 or more wins in every season since 2012-13. The Hilltoppers (5-7) are in a rebuilding phase, just as the Cardinals (3-7), who had lost its last two games at E.
