MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State soccer team fought through a steady rainstorm for a scoreless tie with Eastern Michigan on Sunday afternoon at the Briner Sports Complex.
It was the first draw of the year for the Cardinals (6-4-1, 1-2-1 Mid-American Conference), who got a combined eight saves from its goalkeepers.
Eastern Michigan (4-4-3, 0-1-3 MAC) took 13 shots and put eight on goal, including five shots and three on goal from Olivia Sipsock, but the hosts stifled every attempt to end the day scoreless.
Ball State had an opportunity in the closing minutes on the rare free kick inside the box, but a line of Eagle defenders prevented the Cardinals from scoring.
