BOONE, N.C. - A true testimony to the Cardinals hard work in the off season paid off today as Ball State opened Mid-American Conference action Friday afternoon with a titillating 2-1 victory at Brandon & Erica M. Adcock Field.
It was a defensive battle in the first 20 minutes of action as both teams went scoreless. The offensive battle began in the second period with the Mountaineers getting on the board first at around the 21:43 mark.
After that, true freshman Maureen Donegan found the back of the net with only two minutes remaining in the second frame to knot the game at one apiece at intermission.
