MUNCIE, Ind. - - It will be another big early season test for the Ball State soccer team on Sunday, when it travels to West Lafayette to take on its second straight in-state opponent in Purdue for a 1 p.m. match.
The Cardinals (1-0-0) are coming off a strong showing in a season-opening win at Valparaiso (Aug. 22), in which it capitalized on a pair of penalty kick goals to pick up a 3-1 victory.
Not only did Ball State convert on the pair of PKs, but the defense also picked up its play over the course of the game, limiting the Beacons to just four shots after a 19th-minute goal.
