Record-breaking Ball State women's volleyball season ends with NCAA Tournament loss to Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Ball State women's volleyball saw its record-breaking season come to an end Saturday night in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament against the No. 1-ranked team in the country.

Ball State (30-4) fell to host Louisville (30-0) in straight sets (29-27, 25-11, 25-19). While it was just the fourth loss of the season for Ball State, and only the second that came in straight sets, it showed that Ball State can compete with the nation's best.

And for Kelli Miller Phillips, who wrapped up her sixth season as the Cardinals' head coach, she can walk away satisfied knowing that's exactly what her team showed.
