Ball State (21-9, 13-5 Mid-American Conference) finished the regular season with its first 20-win season since 2008-09. Senior guard Nathalie Fontaine was named MAC Player of the Year and broke the Cardinals’ all-time scoring record.
But when Ball State was knocked out of the MAC Tournament quarterfinals March 9, Fontaine said she would have traded all of the individual accolades for a MAC championship.
“This was what I wanted above all of those other things,” she said. “But we’ll keep working.”
