In the first round of the NCAA tournament, the Ball State women’s volleyball squad fell by a score of 0-3 to Marquette, who finished #16 in the final AVCA coaches poll.
Marie Plitt, Cait Snider, and Natalie Mitchem shined offensively in their outings. However, their efforts came up just short, as the Golden Eagles’ .369 hitting percentage and 9 aces overwhelmed the Cardinals’ defense.
Although this marks the end of the season for Kelli Miller Phillips’ crew, the 2022 season was another memorable one for the program. The squad finished 24-9 overall, and 15-3 in conference play.
