MUNCIE, Ind. — It's been a challenging week and a half for Ball State women's basketball.
Over that stretch, the Cardinals lost their leading scorer Anna Clephane — who returned to the bench Wednesday — for the season with a torn ACL and lost three games by 13 combined points, two of which came against the No. 1 and No. 4 team in the Mid-American Conference.
But the season moves forward and while some of the pieces have changed, the expectations for head coach Brady Sallee and his team have not. Following Ball State's (9-7, 2-4 MAC) 58-55 loss to Toledo (13-3, 7-0 MAC), Sallee made that abundantly clear.
