Women’s Basketball Defeats Central Michigan in MAC Home Opener

MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State women's basketball team (10-4, 2-0 MAC) managed to come up with a 72-61 victory over Central Michigan (4-9, 0-2 MAC) Saturday afternoon at Worthen Arena.

Both squads got off to a slow start in the opening quarter. With the game tied at 4-4 at the 5:32 mark, Ball State was able to force some CMU turnovers which led to a 12-4 scoring spree that was capped off by a layup from Maliyah "MJ" Johnson to make it a 16-4 ball game at conclusion of the first period.

The second quarter ironically was a bit sloppier than the first.
