More than 36,000 stolen or fake Ball State emails are listed on the dark web Kara Berg Daily News Reporter

all State has more than 36,000 stolen or fake emails listed on the dark web, according to a new study.

It’s the 69th most common email domain on the dark web, according to the Digital Citizens Alliance’s 2017 study, out of 300 schools on the list. And when taking Ball State's size into account, it's 22nd. In total, more than 13 million higher education emails are floating around the dark web. Indiana University ranked 12th and Purdue University came in 11th.

“The dangers vary with this,” said Matthew Solomon, sales director at ID Agent, which partnered with Digital Citizens Alliance for the study. “For a faculty member doing confidential research, it potentially could be a back door into their research. With students … their password could get exposed … and [hackers] could do fraudulent See WEB, page 4 activity there.”

This resolution proposing a Dead Week Policy, as per the SGA bill, passed unanimously in the Senate 31-0.

“We want our professors and administration to know that we don’t doubt the purpose of going to school,” current SGA president James Wells said, “but you can’t stretch us so thin during a very high-stress and highly focused, intense period in the semester.”

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic to see what's happening around the globe.

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS

Is an NBA player's broken leg worth more than a life?

The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Thabo Sefolosha of the Atlanta Hawks surely suffered when police officers broke his leg arresting him outside a Manhattan nightclub in 2015.

He needed surgery and sat out while teammates went deep in the NBA playoffs.

But the city's decision to settle his wrongful arrest lawsuit Wednesday for $4 million still raised eyebrows. That's more than the city has paid out in some of its most notorious police brutality cases.

Several unarmed men shot to death by New York City police received less money.

Legal experts say the large settlement is a reflection of lost earnings potential as a professional athlete, not any judgment that his leg was worth more than a man's life.

"His injury probably shortens a career with significant dollars attached to it," said attorney Michael Duffy, who specializes in malpractice and other litigation but had no role in the case.

Sefolosha, a 10-year veteran of the league, was acquitted of charges he disobeyed officers' orders to leave the area around the club following the nonfatal stabbing of another NBA player, Chris Copeland. This year he has played 60 of 77 games for the Hawks, averaging 7.3 points a game, which is slightly higher than his career average.

Here is a look at some other notable settlements of police excessive-force cases in New York, all involving black men like Sefolosha: RAMARLEY GRAHAM: The unarmed 18-year-old was trying to flush marijuana down a toilet in his home when an officer barged into the bathroom and fatally shot him in 2012. The city paid the family $3.9 million.

AKAI GURLEY: The 28-year-old was killed

4-DAY FORECAST Ethan Rosuck Weather Forecaster

in 2014 by a ricocheting bullet when a police officer, patrolling an apartment building with his gun drawn, was startled and fired into a darkened stairwell. The city settled with his family for $4.1 million.

ERIC GARNER: The 43-year-old father of six died in 2014 after being placed into an illegal choke hold by an officer trying to arrest him for selling untaxed cigarettes. The city paid his family $5.9 million.

SEAN BELL: A groom-to-be, the 23-yearold Bell died in a hail of 50 police bullets fired into his car in 2006 as he left his bachelor party at a bar. Officers mistakenly thought they saw a gun. The city paid his estate $3.3 million. Another man in the car who was shot 17 times was paid $3 million. A third victim got $900,000.

ABNER LOUIMA: The Haitian immigrant was badly beaten and sodomized with a broomstick in a police station in 1997 by officers in an attack that damaged his colon and bladder. The city and police union agreed to pay $8.7 million.

OUSMANE ZONGO: The 43-year-old artist was working on restoring African artifacts in 2003 when he was shot and killed by a police officer raiding a warehouse, looking for counterfeit goods. His family settled for $3 million.

PATRICK DORISMOND: The 26-yearold was working as a security guard at a nightclub in 2000 when he was fatally shot during a scuffle with undercover police officers who had asked him where they could buy drugs. His estate was paid $2.3 million.

AMADOU DIALLO: An unarmed African immigrant, the 22-year-old Diallo was shot to death in the vestibule of a Bronx apartment building in 1999 by officers who mistook his wallet for a gun. His mother received a $3 million settlement from the city.

‘Beauty and the Beast’: shallow but sweet RATING: "Beauty and the Beast," when scrutinized, could be called romanticized Stockholm Syndrome.

This tale as old as time managed to steer its less than impressive premise away from audience’s focus with a dazzling cast and wellcrafted CGI. However, nostalgia DALEY and set design couldn’t erase the WILHELM obvious uneven distribution of is a junior effort when it came to crafting the Communica- renewed Disney classic.

The film is studded with stars tions major who played their parts well. and acts as Some, namely Emma Watson’s Byte’s Creative Director performance as the iconic Belle, seem tailor made. Belle is developed and Podcast further than just being bookish.

Editor.

Rather than being left to loud criticisms of beastly behavior, Belle takes her safety into her own hands. She smacks around talking candelabras and punches wolves; she is more than just a bookworm. Belle is brave, smart, kind and essentially perfect, which makes for a rather flat character.

Where Belle is expanded on, the Beast (who was unnamed throughout the film) is scaled back in terms of charm. His sulkiness defines him, leaving audiences to question the budding romance between Belle and the Beast. The two principal performances are frankly forgettable, their screen time winnowed down by the film’s wandering focus. There is significantly more screen time establishing Gaston and Lefou than there was for the Beast.

The most time, and seemingly the most production effort, is spent on the set and the inanimate cast. To match the more historically accurate decor, Lumiere, Cogsworth and others are reimagined in extravagant detail. This detail, this incredibly ostentatious detail, isn’t exactly easy on the eyes. It is difficult to know at any one time where to look. In an effort to seem polished, the film is instead gaudy. Stark reality takes away some of the charm when it comes to extended CGI sequences.

Ignoring this, what does work when it came to outright ostentation was the set. Set and costume design are painstakingly rendered and help to bring a magical castle more to life than living furniture did. Efforts in production, rather than in performance, make this fairy tale real.

This fairy tale is just that: short, sweet and without serious depth. Which absolutely works for what the film seems to be trying to achieve in a renovated retelling of a timeless tale. "Beauty and the Beast" is definitely beautiful and alive with music and colorful characters, but beyond this performance, the writing falls flat and feels dusty when compared to the shiny new sets.

WHAT’S NEWS.

Chanticleer Performance Award-winning a capella group to perform, visit school of music Sorita Heng Daily News Reporter Sursa Performance Hall will host an array of male a capella voices Sunday for the newest addition to the Arts Alive performance series.

Chanticleer is a Grammy award-winning male a capella group based in San Francisco. The twelve members’ vocals range from the lowest (bass) to the highest (soprano). Titled “My Secret Heart,” this weekend’s concert touches on love throughout the ages, from classical pieces to popular songs.

Kerry Gland, the associate director of choral activities in the School of Music, finds Chanticleer’s mix of all vocal ranges particularly impressive.

“It’s not something we

hear every day. Even in classical music, we don’t hear that type of voicing, that type of performance, on a regular basis,” he said.

“I think that’s very unique and it’s really exciting to get to hear that live.”

This weekend’s performance is part of the group’s U.S. and European tour for the 2016-17 season.

To Gland, the group also has a different style to its performance that can make it accessible to more people.

“It’s a little different. It’s different than going to a symphony concert,” he said. “I think this is a group that are very entertaining in their presentation, so for someone who’s looking for an entryway into going to a classical music concert, this is something that will be very attractive.”

William Fred Scott is the season’s music director.

On soprano and alto, the highest of the vocal range, are Cortez Mitchell, Gerrod Pagenkopf, Kory Reid, Alan Reinhardt, Logan Shields

and Adam Ward. Chris Albanese, Brian Hinman and Andrew Van Allsburg are on tenor, the highest register for the adult male.

For the lower registers, Eric Alatorre, Matthew Knickman and Marques Jerrell Ruff are on baritone and bass.

Besides performing new arrangements of songs, Chanticleer also performs commissions composed specially for the group.

The group was founded in 1978 by Louis A. Botto, who wanted to perform the Renaissance music he was studying. With eight of his choir members on board, they decided on the name Chanticleer, which is the name of a “clear singing” rooster in George Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.”

To date, the group has had more than 100 members. One of them is Ball State alumnus Jace Wittig, who was in the choir for five seasons and served as the interim music director from 2011 to 2014.

CHANTICLEER PERFORMANCE

• When: 7:30 p.m. Sunday • Where: Sursa Hall • Ticket information: $35 standard, $15 for students with a Ball State ID

THE CAMPUS CONNECTION 1622 W. Jackson Over 750 micros & imported beers (765) 282-2542

The group is also involved in training young people. It hosts workshops for high school students and university students around the country.

Its after-school honors program for high school and college students, called the Louis A. Botto Choir, is in its seventh year.

The group received the Chorus America Education Outreach Award in 2010 for the educational program.

After their performance Sunday, some members of the group will stay on Monday to give a master class for the Chamber Choir at the School of Music.

Vote Friendly Package for Best of Ball State!

Bombay Sapphire

Michelle Kaufman Daily News Reporter Students, faculty and community members looking to get a sampling of food from around Muncie can go to Cornerstone Center for the Arts Sunday for the 31st annual A Taste of Muncie event.

The event has been at Cornerstone for the past 16 years and serves as an annual fundraiser for the center. Cornerstone serves more than 2,000 students in over 100 different arts classes offered for free or at low cost.

“Cornerstone is an arts organization offering arts education to the community, so this is highlighting the culinary arts,” said Jeff Robinson, director of community relations for Cornerstone.

“This year, we’ll have

close to 25 restaurants and caterers that’ll be bringing their best dishes to feature.”

Chain restaurants like Texas Roadhouse and IHOP will compete alongside local restaurants and caterers, such as Minnetrista, Mr. Mouse Catering and RP’s Pizza.

Before the main event, there is a VIP reception with a food and beer craft pairing. This year, Cornerstone’s staff paired up with New Corner Brewing Company and Guardian Brewing Co. to make their own beer, Cornerstone Wheat.

For the main event, attendees get a tray and have the opportunity to get samples of everything from each vendor. At the end, the Best of Taste of Muncie is named, along with winners in specific categories.

“Your tray is packed with food, you find a place to sit down and eat, and then everyone votes on their favorite [items],” Robinson

said. “If it’s someone’s first time coming, they can expect a very fun and festive atmosphere.”

Karen Haskell is the manager of BerryWinkle Frozen Yogurt. This will be her first year participating in A Taste of Muncie.

To prepare, she’s been researching, getting ideas and talking to her sales representative to help her know how much food to prepare.

“I’m extremely competitive, so I want to win, so I’ve got to have the best product there,” Haskell said. “I’ll have three different items [at the event].”

Haskell just took over management of BerryWinkle this month, and she is excited to continue going out into the community and getting opinions from businesses, residents and students on what products BerryWinkle should carry.

CLUB CHUG FEATURES DJ ICANDY FAREWELL Popular campus DJ to perform for last time Saturday Robbie Moscato-Goodpaster Entertainment Reporter April 7 will not only be the last show of the school year at The Chug, but it will also be DJ iCandy’s very last show.

Presented by The Chug and Sight and Sound, “Club Chug” will transform the bar into a nightclub.

“This event is different and unique for around here and in the Village. It turns the bar into a club scene with quality DJs who have put together a great show and I think audiences will be very pleased,” The Chug owner Phil Juskevice said.

Opening the show at 11 p.m. and going until midnight will be DJ CJ, who is a junior at Ball State and well known throughout the Greek community. He has also started producing and releasing his own music.

Headlining from midnight to 1 a.m. will be iCandy (Como Negrete), who is one of the founders of Club Chug and will be giving his final performance. The DJ will be graduating from Ball State this semester.

Negrete will be pursuing his passion and moving to Chicago after he graduates, where he has a residency at a club and will continue to make music.

To commemorate his last show, The Chug will be bringing in sponsors such as Sight and Sound and Bright Night Entertainment to help enhance its sound and light show.

“It’s going to be bigger and better than ever than before because we are trying to simulate what it would be like at a larger venue,” he said.

This event will provide the opportunity not only to have fun but

also to support a local company and local talent.

To end the night, newcomer Jake Struble will perform from 1 to 2 a.m.

While he may be new to Club Chug, he is a seasoned performer, performing at numerous events such as Greek events, Homecoming and Dance Marathon. He has also worked at Sight and Sound, giving him the chance to work with all of the technology that has helped him enhance his performances.

Students send letters to state legislators to replace Cooper

Samantha Brammer // DN File

Some students are petitioning to replace the Cooper Physical Science Building after the recent announcement that the building is being vacated. Cooper Physical Science was built in 1970, with renovations in 2001.

Students said 'outdated building' has many issues Brynn Mechem Environmental Reporter Following recent news about the possible vacancy of the Cooper Physical Science Building, some students are petitioning to state legislators about replacing the building altogether.

Olivia Manahan, a senior chemistry major, said many students are sending letters to their Indiana representatives and senators expressing issues about the “outdated building.” The Ball State Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society are leading the effort, and the group hopes lawmakers will influence decisions about funding for a new science building.

“We knew that the many students in Cooper felt strongly about the state of our building, but are typically too busy to spend a lot of time fighting for a new one,” Manahan said. “So SAACS decided to make the process as simple

as possible for everyone, and we wrote a skeleton letter for students to fill out and personalize, along with a list of grievances to help them through the process.”

The list of grievances spans from issues regarding safety and health to insufficient classroom space and resources.

It includes: • Leaking pipes leave puddles in the middle of labs: giant slip hazard in an already unsafe place.

• Mold growing in various places throughout Cooper.

• Algae growing in certain water fountains.

• Cockroaches throughout the building.

• Insufficient space in research laboratories that render storage and work difficult and cumbersome, and Cooper is incapable of adding new lab space.

• Lab and research space is extremely limited, which leads to situations in which 30 or more students must use a space optimized for less than 15 individuals.

• Showers are often located in corners behind “junk” and would be very difficult to get to in an emergency. In the event that a shower were used, there are no floor drains in Cooper, so all water has to be mopped up or will seep through the floor.

• The fire alarms are triggered when there is not an actual threat present in the building.

• Water coming out of fountains is too often orange.

Out of all the issues, Manahan said she thinks the biggest concern with Cooper is the storage of dangerous chemicals.

“In my research lab, we have wooden cabinets that we keep solvent bottles in,” Manahan said. “That wouldn’t be an issue if most of those solvents weren’t flammable. If one were ever to ignite for any reason, then it would explode right next to our legs with nothing but thin wood to shield us from it.”

Another student, sophomore prephysical therapy and anthropology major Kara Tynes, said she thinks Cooper is “not a productive work environment.”

“The building feels as if it’s going to

fall apart and it is not very conducive to learning with such dark, closed-off rooms,” Tynes said. “Many students have trouble accessing everything they need for classes because the building is so outdated along with the equipment.“ So far, Manahan said the students have received 16 letters back from state legislators. She hopes to see a new building constructed with larger lab spaces that contain all the necessary requirements to keep students safe.

“Students and professors work very hard to do good research in Cooper. The work done there has the potential to change the lives of so many people, but no one would believe it based on our building. ” Manahan said. “It’s a huge obstacle to overcome every day while we work, and the amount and quality of research conducted by students has significant impact on the opportunities presented to them after graduation.

It’s important that students have a functional space to work in during their college careers.”

UNIVERSITY SINGERS TO PERFORM 53RD ANNUAL SPECTACULAR SHOW Show is a tradition, includes three weekend performances

Jeremy Masukevich Daily News Reporter The Ball State University Singers will be presenting their 53rd annual Spectacular this weekend in John R. Emens Auditorium.

Show times for the entertaining and historic event will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Along with these two

Continued from page 1 This isn’t just an issue with universities, but universities have a unique challenge to keep email addresses secure because of the high amounts of people using the domain, Solomon said. .edu emails are also especially popular because buyers can use them to get discounts normally reserved for students and faculty for software or Amazon Prime memberships, according to the study.

But it isn’t the university’s fault the emails get breeched. If students and faculty use .edu emails on a third party site, that can contribute to their information getting stolen.

Universities have more data than commercial businesses or government entities, but don’t have as many

performances, University Singers will also be putting on a kid’s performance at 9:30 a.m. Friday.

“There is something in this show for everyone,” said Alan Alder, producer and director of the University Singers. “We allow every audience member to leave the performance feeling familiar with what we do as an ensemble. We do this so that everyone feels as if they are a part of the performance.”

The 53rd Spectacular is a culmination of all the work the University Singers have done since the beginning of the school year.

“The entire year sort of builds up to this moment where the University Singers can showcase the individual talents of each cast member as well as the ensemble as a whole,” Alder said. “There aren’t many student organizations like ours on the Ball State campus, certainly no other groups that have been around as long as we have that are doing the kinds of work that we do.”

The Spectacular was a tradition started in 1966 by Don Neuen, former director of the University Singers. The Spectacular has been a staple to the music culture of

Ball State ever since.

“As a group we perform a wide variety of music from what you would hear on the radio today to hits from the '60s and even before that,” Alder said. “We will be performing group numbers, individual solo numbers, duets, trios and even band features. We also include material from Broadway, so it’s a very wide spectrum that provides something for everyone.”

resources to protect its property and users, according to the study.

“Protecting the missions of teaching, learning and community service takes precedence over protecting online credentials,” the study says.

Because of this, students should be careful to avoid phishing scams and to change their password frequently. Ball State warns students to avoid clicking links from unknown senders, even if it comes from a Ball State account.

In 2016, a former U.S. State Department employee was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for hacking into college women’s emails and threatening to expose their sexually explicit photos.

He did it by sending phishing emails to women, including some at Ball State.

“Any email asking for confidential information such as your Ball State password, bank account information,

or your Social Security number should be deleted,” the Officer of Information Security Services cautioned students online. “Never respond to emails asking for confidential information.”

Ball State tells students to delete any emails asking them to validate their username and password because the emails are not legitimate.

When it comes to passwords, if someone uses the same or a similar password on their .edu account as they do on Amazon or other websites, then a hacker can easily get into both accounts.

Almost 90 percent of people between the ages of 18-30 reuse passwords, according to the study.

One researcher told the Digital Citizens Alliance “the college password is not just a key, it is the keychain.”

This is why students should change their password often and not use the same

one for multiple websites, Solomon said.

It’s a lot to ask of students to do, he said, but it does make a difference.

To see if your email has been breeched, enter it at haveibeenpwned.com.

Through this, hackers can get financial information from the bursar, bring malware onto the university’s server and even access student’s personal data, Solomon said.

For faculty, the dangers could be even greater. Criminals can take their information to file fraudulent income tax returns, which causes all sorts of problems for them.

This occurred at Ball State, and many other universities, in 2015. At least 140 Ball State employees were victims of identity theft and income tax fraud.

“Seeding-wise we’re not where we want to be, but we still have the opportunity to go on a run,” Cartagena said. “We have the chance to make the remainder of this season something that I will remember forever.”

The Cardinals have had their highs and lows during these past four years — from finishing under .500 with a 13-16 record in 2015 to being ranked as high as No. 8 in 2016. Senior outside attacker Brendan Surane said the ups and downs helped the team form a stronger bond.

“We’ve definitely gone through a lot together, both good and bad,” Surane said. “I really think it’s just made us closer to one another.”

The friendships these players built with one another started immediately — for Surane, it began right at the beginning of Welcome Week.

“As soon as I got introduced to all of the guys and got a feel for the culture, I knew it was a place I wanted to be at,” Surane said. “I’m really happy with the decision that I made.”

While Surane has been one of the more reserved Cardinals, several of the team’s freshmen, including libero Nick Lavanchy and outside attacker Matt Szews, have seen the energy that exudes from Pia and fellow senior outside attacker Mike “Skip” Scannell.

“I just like to have fun. That’s just how I play,” Pia said. “I feel like it’s rubbing off when I play with some of the younger guys.”

Scannell said it’s important for the younger players to have a positive energy, whether they’re on the court or cheering their teammates on from the sidelines.

“Whether you’re ready or not, you have to be ready to have some sort of impact,” Scannell said. “It’s important to carry that down to the other guys, that whatever position you’re in, you have to make a good deal out of it.”

The approaching end of the volleyball season also means the seniors are one step closer to graduation.

Senior setter Connor Gross, just like the four other seniors, is a Miller College of Business student. Gross said his experience as the team’s captain will help him in the business world.

“It’s helped me to develop leadership skills and also helped me to have confidence,” Gross said. “I think that whenever you can gain leadership skills, it’s beneficial.”

Scannell said his experience as a Division-I athlete has helped him prepare for what his job life will be like.

“Whether it’s coming in the gym and you’re sore and you’re tired, you still have to work hard,” Scannell said.

“Same thing in the job field — you still have to go in and hit the clock and work hard so I think what I’ve learned will hopefully translate into the work field.”

But before they start their professional lives, they still have Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. matchup with Loyola at Worthen Arena.

Ball State looks to extend win streak Women's tennis team has won 11 consecutive matches Adam Chowdhury Women's Tennis Reporter

Emma Rogers // DN File

Head coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett talks with junior second baseman Maddy Labrador before her turn at bat during the second game of the double-header against Northern Illinois April 4 at the Softball Field at the First Merchants Ballpark Complex. The Cardinals’ six-game winning streak puts them at a 7-1 record in Mid-American Conference league.

Softball hits road for series at Ohio

Cardinals and Bobcats have two best records in MAC Kara Biernat Softball Reporter

Ball State softball (23-17, 7-1 MAC) heads into its weekend series against Ohio (25-8, 6-2 MAC) on a six-game win streak.

Head coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett thinks that calls for an earned break.

“It’s the girls’ day off today,” Ciolli Bartlett said on Wednesday. “We hit on Monday to get ready for Northern, so they have today off before we travel to Ohio tomorrow.”

Picking up a pair of wins in a doubleheader against Northern Illinois Tuesday, Ball State (23-17, 7-1 MAC) improved to 6-0 at home. The Cardinals also took over sole possession of first place in the MAC standings as Ohio split a double-header at Kent State.

“This feels great,” Ciolli Bartlett said. “We’re playing well in all three aspects. If we play how we’re capable defensively, offensively and we’re tough on the mound, we’re a tough team to beat.”

Ohio redshirt senior pitcher Savannah Jo Dorsey is 14-3 with a 1.39 ERA, two saves and 13 complete games. In 110.2 innings, Dorsey has struck out 159 batters and has only allowed 22 earned runs.

“Ohio’s pitching staff is super tough,” Ciolli Bartlett said. “[Dorsey] is extraordinarily talented, so it’s going to be a battle. One or two runs might win you a game, but we are going to have to keep our heads clear and just learn from at-bat to at-bat.”

Entering a weekend on the road well-rested, the Cardinals’ pitching staff looks to keep up its strong performance — the team has allowed just 14 runs in

its six-game streak.

“We are doing a good job spinning the ball on the mound,” Ciolli Bartlett said.

“We’re making teams earn it from the plate. When they push a few runs, we’re making them work for it.”

Junior pitcher Carolyn Wilmes picked up her tenth win of the season for the Cardinals Tuesday by limiting the Huskies to five hits and a pair of first-inning runs. Wilmes recorded three strikeouts and held Northern Illinois to just three base runners after the first inning. Wilmes enters the weekend with a 3.40 ERA in 94.2 innings with 80 strikeouts.

Led by senior center fielder Rachel Houck and freshman third baseman Janae Hogg, Ball State’s offense will need to stay consistent at the plate against Ohio’s pitching staff.

“Our hitters are coming up in some big-time clutch situations,” Ciolli Bartlett said. “Anytime you’re getting that kind of timely hitting out of a talented offense, good things are going to happen.”

Houck holds a .343 batting average, while Hogg sits next to her with a .341.

The duo have a combined 15 home runs and 57 RBIs this season. Hitting a solo shot in Tuesday’s opener, Hogg recorded her fourth game-winning RBI in just five games.

“We need to compete this weekend in every single pitch and take their atbats one at a time,” Ciolli Bartlett said. “[Dorsey] throws a nasty rise ball, so we need to not swing at that when it comes to a successful offense.”

The first pitch of the three-game series in Athens, Ohio is scheduled for 1 p.m. in a double-header Saturday, followed by one game at 12 p.m. Sunday.

COLONIAL CREST Live with Integrity and Stability.

Ball State women’s tennis (16-2, 4-0 MAC) heads into its two weekend matches feeling good about its chances to repeat last year’s Mid-American Conference success.

“Before we had started MAC season, I knew that we were the team to [win the MAC],” sophomore Audrey Berger said. “I’m going to keep that confidence, and I think the rest of us are too. I mean, we really want another MAC Championship.”

The Cardinals are tied at the top of the standings with Akron (20-2, 4-0 MAC).

“I don’t think there’s really any need to say anything to them because a lot of them are wired just like me,” Ball State head coach Max Norris said. “So, it’s like we can say it to each other without even speaking, like, we know what we’re thinking about. I think they know that and they just got to keep it simple to get to that big step.”

With an 11-match win streak on the line, Ball State hosts Eastern Michigan (6-12, 1-3 MAC) at 1 p.m. Friday before traveling to Toledo (8-9, 0-4 MAC) for a match at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Eastern Michigan last won the regular season title back in 1998, but both Berger and Norris said the Eagles can be unpredictable, which makes them dangerous.

“They’re always a very tricky team,” Norris said. “They’ve got a lot of smart and savvy players. You never really know what you’re going to get from them. I know they play really good doubles or they try to play the doubles the right way. So, we’ve just got to come out and worry about ourselves and be aggressive and not worry what they’re going to do.”

Toledo is winless in MAC play, but Norris said the Rockets’ non-conference record shows they’ve perhaps “caught some unlucky breaks.”

“I would expect them to play with a lot of energy,” Norris said. “I think when there’s nine teams and only six teams

make the tournament, just like Eastern Michigan, they’re going to be playing for their tournament life. They’re going to give it everything they have and I wouldn’t expect anything less from anyone else in the same situation."

After this weekend, the Cardinals’ only remaining home match will be their last regular season MAC fixture on Saturday, April 22 against Akron.
