Hammocking on campus becomes popluar among Ball State students Mary Freda Daily News Reporter

Hammocks are not a new invention, but students are re-inventing the idea of “hanging out.” Recently, many students have been seen across campus in hammocks.

There’s now even weekly hammocking sessions.

Students meet up every Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Botsford-Swinford lobby and take their hammocks to the University Green where they hammock, lay on blankets and discuss various topics.

So what makes these portable hangouts so popular?

DEFENSE FIGHTS OFF SLOW STARTS Coach praises defensive unit despite 30-20 loss at Indiana Jake Fox Football Reporter Through two games, there’s already a glaring difference on the field for Ball State compared to last season. The Cardinals’ defense is giving them a chance.

Slow starts on offense have put the defense in a lot of tough spots, but head coach Mike Neu has been proud of the group’s ability to combat short field.

“I always see good things from our defense — the staff, the players have been fantastic,” Neu said. “Yes, we put them in a bind. We can’t do that ... Their first snap on the field, IU is in the red zone. That’s not fair to our defense.”

Ball State’s offense started Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium the same way they opened the season a week ago at the Georgia Dome, with a turnover on the first drive.

The Cardinals won the toss, and chose to receive. Sophomore quarterback Riley Neal dropped back on third down and delivered a pass to junior Corey Lacanaria for first-down yardage.

Watch students forget who Ball State's last president was and forget how to pronounce campus buildings.

John E. Worthen Arena will be undergoing a $6.4 million expansion next year. The project will add two NCAA regulation-size courts for basketball and volleyball teams to use, team meeting rooms and study rooms, said Jim Lowe, associate vice president for facilities planning and management.

All the money comes from the Cardinal Commitment program, a donation-funded project designed to improve athletics facilities.

The $20.6 million program has already funded improvements at the First Merchants Ballpark Complex, Briner Sports Complex, Scheumann Stadium and Worthen Arena, Lowe said.

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic and get student commentary on what's happening around the globe.

Some police departments shelve body cameras, cite data costs The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Police departments that outfitted their officers with body cameras have now shelved them, blaming new laws requiring videos to be stored longer, which they say would significantly increase the cost.

About a third of the nation’s 18,000 police agencies are either testing body cameras or have embraced them to record their officers’ interactions with the public. But departments in Indiana suspended their programs this year after the state imposed longer video-storage rules.

Clarksville, a southern Indiana town began using body cameras in 2012 for its 50 full-

time officers and 25 reservists. That program ended in June when Chief Mark Palmer pulled the cameras in response to Indiana’s new law requiring agencies using the cameras to store the videos for at least 190 days.

The new law that took effect July 1 would have raised costs to $50,000 to $100,000 for the first year, he said.

Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst for the national American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, acknowledged that costs of operating body camera programs can be daunting. But he said he’s concerned that some departments might use the costs “as a cover” to avoid the added layer of oversight the cameras bring.

THEIR VIEW

BRADLEY SHRADER “I definitely see the expense but I do feel like body cams are probably, in today’s day and age, important,” the sophomore computer science and physics major said.

DARE ONI “We pay tax money to the police stations so they should always have body cameras just how there’s always security camera,” the sophomore computer science major said.

4-DAY FORECAST

AUDREY BRAZEL “I could see how that could be a good thing in terms if one person is saying one thing and the police are saying another thing,” the senior dietetics major said.

WHITNEY BONER “I feel like it’s reliable so if they were to do something wrong or if someone were to lie about something they would have evidence,” the freshman nursing major said.

Bats sighted in campus buildings Animals look for places to be protected from winter, says environmental consultant

Lauren DeLorenzo Daily News Reporter There have been multiple reports of bat sightings at Ball State and surrounding areas.

Park Hall recently found a bat in the building, and the bat made it up to the third floor before it was found by a custodian. The bat was trapped against a wall with a broom, before being trapped into a garbage bag and released outside.

The Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry has also had a recent encounter with the animals.

Laura Huffman, the center's media director, was leading a class in the downstairs living room when the bat made itself known.

“All of a sudden in the middle of a student’s conversation, a bat started flying circles really quickly around the room,” Huffman said. “It would take a few dives towards people as it was deciding where to fly because it was confused with all the noise.”

Huffman, who had previously encountered bats in the building, opened all the windows and advised students to remain still. Eventually the bat retreated to the top of a bookshelf. When animal control arrived the next morning, the bat

was gone, and animal control figured it had found its way out through the open windows during the night.

Kristie Marie, environmental consultant and Ball State alumna, said one possible reason for increased bat sightings is the seasonal presence of young, juvenile bats, learning to navigate their environment for the first time.

“Just like teenagers learning to drive, there are bound to be some accidents,” Marie said. “[Bats] also begin to disperse and move into mating routes in September and October."

Bats look for places where they will be protected over the winter months, she said.

These places often include old buildings with high ceilings, such as Bracken Library, which has seen multiple bats since the start of the school year.

Timothy Carter, an associate professor of biology, has rescued several bats since the semester started.

“The library knows to call me and my graduate students to come get the bat,” Carter said.

Suzanne Rice, assistant dean for public services, whose office is housed within the library, said there have never been any damages associated with the bats.

“Bats are an integral part of the ecosystem and they don’t want to be in the building any more than we want them there,” Rice said. “Dr. Carter and the area graduate students are experts and willing to take the time to

appropriately capture the animal, so we appreciate their care and handling of them."

If a bat is seen in a building on campus, Carter recommends not to touch it.

“It’s very rare that bats are sick or have disease,” he said. “But if it’s in

HAMMOCK Continued from page 1

“Hammocking is really relaxing,” said Sarah Tower, a freshman marketing communications major.

Tower said when she toured Ball State, tour guides told the students about the opportunity to bring their hammocks, so she thought to bring one for relaxation and a way to get outside.

Like Tower, freshman business major Joseph Hall also found the hobby relaxing.

“I’ll bring my laptop with me. I’ll watch movies in it, I guess that’s just chilling out,” Hall said. “... what I used to do was I would get some of my friends and I would bring my guitar and [we’d] bring our instruments and play.”

While hammocking is relaxing, it’s important to be aware of some of the effects hammocking has on trees. Without tree-friendly straps, hammocks have the ability to rip the bark off trees, or leave indentations around the tree.

Knowing more about the length of the hammock straps will help when setting up a hammock.

“Look up the brand first [because] the straps are important,” said Kendra Georgeson, a sophomore nursing major. “You don’t want your hammock to just tie around. That can dig into the tree bark and all that.”

While a hammock is a big investment, students like Haleigh Pickett, a freshman sports

-a 21

administration major, found the benefits outweighed the price tag.

“I think it’s really good for college kids just because it’s definitely like [a] de-stresser. Just a way to get outside and relax,” Pickett said.

Hammocking allows students to get in touch with nature without dragging a chair along with them, or with the risk of ruining a favorite blanket, Georgeson said.

“You can hammock anywhere you have two points to set it up at,” she said. “There’s awesome pictures of people hammocking under bridges and things like that and I think it’s a good investment. You can take it anywhere, find a couple trees or just anywhere to tie it into and you don’t have to sit on the hard ground.”

Portability is key, Tower said.

CHEAP HAMMOCK OPTION

Students can go and rent a hammock at the Ball State University Outdoor Pursuits Rental Center.

Pricing: $3 daily, $5 weekend, $8 weekly

“I like that my hammock is something that is really simple to use and a really easy way to relax. I also like that I can basically put it up anywhere,” she said. “It is small and is very light so it is easy to carry around and take wherever you go. Also, they are double hammocks so they can fit two people so it’s great for cuddling.”

Lowe requested approval for the scope and budget for the project at the Board of Trustees meeting on Friday.

The board approved the request.

In addition to the approval for the scope and budget, the board also approved Lowe’s proposal to name the Worthen Arena addition in honor of Don Shondell, the Ball State women’s volleyball hall of fame coach.

“I know the Shondell family and they are just a wonderful family,” Lowe said. “What they brought to volleyball in this region and the state is phenomenal with [Shondell’s father] starting the first program here and his sons coaching here. You walk into the Burris facility and you see the banners from all the state champions that he has coached ... It almost makes you cry because they are so good at what they do and the impact they have had on the sport and this community.”

Trustee Hollis Hughes asked Lowe about increasing non-athletic uses for Worthen once the expansion is finished, and Lowe said the extra space should increase the university’s ability to host other events in Worthen.

Construction is expected to start in early summer 2017 and finish in 2018, Lowe said.

Other topics discussed among the board during the meeting included enrollment and community policing.

Kay Bales, vice president for student affairs and enrollment services, presented the enrollment update and started the discussion by saying, “there is nothing but good news.”

This year, the university had the third-largest number of students within the last 20 years, with an enrollment of 21,998.

Freshman applications totaled to 24,306, the largest number in Ball State history. The freshman class of 2020 is the second-largest class in 15

years with 3,911 students.

“I think that we admitted a great class,” Bales said.

Within that class, domestic minorities make up 18.8 percent of the population and out-of-state students account for 17.6 percent. Transfer and graduate enrollment also increased. This year, the university saw the largest graduate enrollment in Ball State history, totaling to 4,978 students.

Though this year brought multiple milestones within enrollment, the number of international students totaled to 543 in 2016, compared to 684 in 2014.

“If you look from 2014, we are down slightly in international students,” Bales said. “As particular countries change their availability of funds for students to attend, that has dramatic impact on international students.”

University Police Department Chief James Duckham and Ro Anne Royer Engle, interim associate vice president for student affairs and enrollment services, presented their goal for multicultural approaches to community policing.

Duckham was not immediately available for further comment.

This partnership was created with the goal to dispel the myth about what policing is on campus and redefine what policing at Ball State is going to look like by engaging in all of the different communities.

In addition to community policing, UPD is working toward developing relationships with students by offering events that engage the community, such as Lunch with a Cop, which has already seen a large number of participants this year compared to past years.

“One negative contact has such a devastating impact on our community,” Duckham said. “We are trying to increase positive interactions as much as we can.”

Students are beginning to fill out leases and roommate agreements for off-campus housing for next fall. The Student Legal Services office provides many resources to help students in finding houses and apartments.

How to get the best deals on off-campus housing for next year University lawyer offers tips, tricks for buying new home Max Lewis Daily News Reporter It’s that time of year again — if you’re planning on living off campus next fall, then it’s time to start finding your home away from home. But finding a place to live and dealing with landlords can be a difficult process, especially if it’s your first time.

Before filling out roommate agreements and signing leases, you first have to find a place to live.

Brittney Schebler, a junior interior design major, began looking for a place to live during September of her freshman year.

“I was new to school, so I didn’t even know anyone and met with random potential new roommates every weekend,” Schebler said. “I took at least 10 house tours that I can remember.”

Kate Benson is the general manager at BestBSURentals, which oversees 13 properties around the Ball State

campus. She said the best time to look for housing for the next year is when school starts, making this time of the semester a prime window for future potential off-campus residents.

BestBSURentals was started in 2005

by Ball State graduates, and Benson said along with providing clean, safe and well-maintained student housing, BestBSURentals wants to help tenants as much as possible through its various social media pages.

“We understand that people are renting for the first time in a lot of cases,” Benson said. “So there’s a lot of things that people may not know or they do know or have questions on. We want to help with that, just like any other housing agency.”

The Student Legal Services office also provides many resources to assist students in finding off-campus housing.

John Connor, the attorney at the Student Legal Services office, said he reviews approximately 700 to 1,000 students a year, with a majority of those cases

concerning landlord-tenant issues.

“I would rather do what I call preventative practice of law rather than trying to fix problems,” Connor said.

Connor recommends all students have a roommate agreement and a housing inspection form.

A roommate agreement is a contract that spells out details roommates have agreed to, such as who pays utilities, how rent will be split up and the agreements on subleasing conditions.

Connor said he has dealt with many cases where one roommate decided to no longer live on the property. In cases like those, he said the landlord will require the full rent amount, regardless of who is paying. This leaves some students in disarray, but Connor said conversations and agreements beforehand can help resolve these issues before they even begin.

A housing inspection form is another document that is filled out during movein and move-out to ensure students get their security deposits back. Connor

recommends students conduct a thorough inspection and take pictures when moving in and moving out.

“If the landlord charges you for that stain that they’ve charged the last four tenants for, you’re going to have objective evidence and you can say, ‘we didn’t do it, here’s that stain on movein day,’” Connor said.

Connor also recommends all students who are planning to live off campus come to his office so he can review and explain the lease to them before they sign it.

“I think if students would come to me to have things looked over, I might put myself out of business, because my business would go down considerably,” Connor said.

As for finding a property at a reasonable price, Connor said the current student housing market is a “buyer’s market,” but he still encourages students to look around and negotiate with landlords on prices.

THEIR VIEW

Students weigh in on campus open carry

Evan Hatfield Daily News Reporter

More than a week after a man carrying a gun shut down Ball State for an hour and a half, the discussion about open carry on college campuses continues. Currently, there are 18 states that ban carrying a concealed weapon on a college campus, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In 23 states, including Indiana, the decision to ban or allow concealed carry weapons on campuses is made by each college or university individually.

The Daily News spoke to Ball State students to hear their perspectives on the topic.

KRISTEN TURNER, FRESHMAN BUSINESS MARKETING MAJOR “I don’t trust people. If you have a gun, I’m gonna assume ... I don’t want to see a gun on my way to class.”

COBIE FRITSCH, FRESHMAN ACTUARIAL SCIENCE MAJOR “It freaks a lot of people out.

I think that there’s enough protection as it is ... people carry it for protection, and I don’t feel that they need more than they have.”

BAILEY HAYNE, SOPHOMORE HOSPITALITY AND FOOD MANAGEMENT MAJOR “I feel like it shouldn’t be allowed.

Alcohol is so predominant on campuses that things could just go bad really fast.”

JAKE INGRAM, SOPHOMORE MARKETING MAJOR “I think that most people who are practicing open carry are just practicing their second amendment, and they don’t have any malicious intentions. I don’t think it’s a good idea just because it does incite all that panic on campus.”

JOE OVERTON, FRESHMAN COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR “I don’t think it’s a necessary precaution on a college campus.

I think being allowed to bring mace with you would be plenty protection.”

PAIGE HAFFNER, FIRST YEAR SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY GRAD “I don’t think it’s necessary.

I think a lot of times that the more guns that are in the equation, the more likely it is for someone to get shot and killed.”

SAMAYA MOBLEY, JUNIOR ACCOUNTING MAJOR

BRYCE AKRIDGE, SOPHOMORE EXERCISE MAJOR

“Where I grew up, there was a lot of violence.

I don’t think [on campus open carry] should be a thing.”

“You never know what could happen. If you see someone with a gun, you’re gonna fear for your safety ...

You don’t want anything bad to happen.”

AARON HUTCHINSON, SENIOR FINANCE MAJOR “As long as you’re a responsible gun owner, it really shouldn’t be a problem.

Maybe [don’t] allow it in the residence halls, but if you’re just out and about, I don’t see why that would be any different than when you’re anywhere else in public.”

BRIDGET CRONIN, SOPHOMORE NURSING MAJOR “I would say that we shouldn’t have it. It’s not very safe for the students, because you never know who’s gonna be carrying them, and you don’t know if they have a license or not.”

Acrobats, band perform at Be Here Now "High-energy" group to release first studio album in September

Stephanie Amador Daily News Reporter Stilt walkers, acrobats and a 12-member band all collaborate to become MarchFourth.

The group performed for the first time at Be Here Now on Friday.

The American band originated from Portland, Oregon, 13 years ago. They have the style of a traditional marching band and a circus performance. However, instead of parading down the streets, they perform across the country.

MarchFourth plays a mixture of uplifting New Orleans funk, rock, jazz, gypsy brass and afrobeat.

“We write our own stuff and we smash up some genres,” said John Averill, the band leader and bass player. “Our songs don’t sound the same ... there’s a lot of colors in the music we are playing.”

The band used to be about the performers and not the music, because Averill considered the band only OK when they first started. He knew a few

people who could walk on stilts and wanted people to come see MarchFourth based on visual elements.

They’ve come a long way since then. “[The band is] really good, it stands on its own,” Averill said.

“

Our songs don’t sound the same ... there’s a lot of colors in the music we are playing.”

— John Averill, band leader and bass player

The group now features more musicians than performers. The performance is a “high-energy dance party with colorful shenanigans,” as Averill put it.

MAGIC NUMBER, the band’s first studio album, will be released Sept. 30.

“The production level is higher [than before],” Averill said. “We have harmonica on this one, other sonic textural things that we haven’t done live before.”

Footgolf expands hours, beer selection

Course works to entice older crowd with new night option Samantha Kupiainen Daily News Reporter

It’s now been nearly a year since David Jordan, owner of Trailside Golf & Footgolf, introduced Muncie to Footgolf — and it's been a year that's brought many changes.

Footgolf was new to Muncie when Jordan began offering the sport at his golf course last fall. It is similar to golf, except you kick a soccer ball into large cups in the ground.

Within the footgolf course there are still the traditional 9- and 18-hole courses players can choose from. With the addition of night footgolf, players will be able to play with the course lit up at night.

A great spot for dates, Jordan hopes this will aid in getting more people in Muncie involved in the sport.

“I’m hoping to bring in more people with night footgolf,” Jordan said. “It’s a great date idea. I get a lot of couples

who come and play.”

For now, footgolf is still a big hit among church groups and birthday parties. In the future, Jordan aspires to draw in more people with his addition of night footgolf and a bigger beer selection.

Now that the sport is more established in Muncie, he hopes to start a team and compete at competitions.

and to push some students to play.”

Trailside is located 16 miles off of Ball State’s campus, at 4813 Highway 35.

Although it is off campus, Jordan sees this as a great sport for college students to get involved in. Jordan urges that all are welcome.

ChirpFest, a live EDM music festival that takes place between the Village Promenade buildings, features smoke canisters, LED lights and crowd surfing.

This year, the festival’s organizers promise “bigger names [and] bigger sounds.”

CHIRPFEST COMES BACK TO MUNCIE FRIDAY Staff promises the event will be bigger and better this year Samantha Kupiainen Daily News Reporter Smoke canisters, LED lights, crowd surfing and the promise of “Bigger names. Bigger sounds.” are just a few things you can expect at the third ChirpFest on Friday.

ChirpFest is a live EDM music festival located between the Village Promenade buildings on North Dill street and Brothers Bar and Grill that was introduced in the fall of 2015.

The lineup for this year’s ChirpFest includes DJP, I-Candy, Who.What.

Where., SHXPS, Mathaius Young, Dream Chief, Borderlinze feat. Verr, Jimmy Coop, Dubknight, and Jodyfree.

Although the organizers try to keep the acts local, people come from all over Indiana and the country to perform.

“Some are Muncie local, some are local to Indianapolis and some are just Indiana local. We have had talent fly from all over the country,” said Denver McQuaid, a junior telecommunications major who will help run this year’s event.

The festival was founded by Chris Cammack and Darius Norwood (Class of 2016). McQuaid currently serves as the Media Director for ChirpFest and will even make an appearance as a DJ for this year’s festival.

ChirpFest came about when Cammack and Norwood wanted to make a change when they noticed how businesses started leaving the area.

“We saw a lot of business starting to leave the Muncie community in the Village,” Cammack said. “We wanted to draw the traffic up in the Muncie community again.”

Besides bringing in more people to Muncie, the duo wanted to give something to Muncie that they could look forward to. They aimed to give Muncie a tradition that they can anticipate each semester.

In the future, the ChirpFest team hopes to take the EDM music festival to other locations and universities. One thing that will remain the same is keeping the biggest festival exclusive to Muncie.

“This one will always be the biggest show, no matter how much we grow and expand,” Cammack said. “We want to build up the Ball State and Muncie community.”

For this upcoming spring semester, students can expect a little something different out of ChirpFest. Not only will it be in a whole new location, but there is a promise of big headliners.

“We are going to go into the arena and do a full-out concert.” Cammack said.

“The arena holds about 12,000 people.

We’re kinda excited to not just do the outdoors festival in the fall but take it inside and experience a full-out concert that we haven’t had here in a long time.”

Holding it in the area will allow roughly 7,000 more people attend and will ensure the spring elements won’t damper the show.

Cammack won’t be seeing the live music but will instead watch videos of the event later for critiques. Throughout the past two festivals, he hasn’t seen a single performance. Rather, he’s opted to put all hands on deck and work where help is needed to ensure a perfectioniststandard festival.

“People will say I’m crazy, but I’m a perfectionist. I’m never satisfied,” Cammack said.

THE GOOD: Novice chefs, this is the recipe for you! The cooking process is fairly simple — measure the ingredients, dump them in a large mixing bowl (I’d recommend as large as you have), combine with a spatula or spoon and pour into the hollowed-out sourdough (like a bread bowl). Unless you encounter a bizarre challenge using a can opener to open the cans of chiles or jalapeños, the cooking process should be relatively stress free.

THE BAD: The mayonnaise. To my taste, the mayonnaise-to-cream-cheese ratio was slightly off, favoring the mayo too heavily. I don’t have a problem with mayo, but I felt that it overpowered the cheese flavor, so that I often felt as if I were eating hot, spicy mayo on bread. Also, at least in my experience, the 30-minute baking time isn’t nearly long enough. After 30 minutes, the center of the dip was still cold, and the cheeses hadn’t melted into the gooey mass of spicy goodness that the Tasty video conveyed. Even after I doubled the baking time, the center of the dip was still only lukewarm, and most of the shredded cheeses hadn’t melted.

THE VERDICT: I was expecting the Tasty video to be more misleading about the actual process of cooking, rather than the finished product. As it turned out, the recipe was just as simple and easy as the video depicted (just be prepared for lots of bread crumbs and an extended baking time). The actual dish, on the other hand, failed to live up to the expectations that I had generated while watching the video. Though this dish was by no means inedible, it was not the appetizer to end all appetizers. Also, the recipe yields a large amount of dip, so this definitely isn’t something that you’re going to make just for yourself.

Running back Darian Green is brought down by linebacker Oliver Marcus during the Indiana University and Ball State matchup at the Memorial Stadium in Bloomington on Saturday. The Cardinals lost 30-20.

Only it wasn’t a first down. Lacanaria fumbled, setting Indiana up with a first down at the Ball State 26-yard line.

The fumble was the first of three turnovers — James Gilbert had a fumble deep in Indiana territory and Neal threw an interception — in the first half for the Cardinals, who fell behind 30-0 before scoring 20 consecutive points in the second half.

“That’s not the recipe you can have in order to have success, you can’t have three turnovers,” Neu said. “You can’t get off to a slow start. That’s a tough recipe if you expect to come back to win.

That’s asking a lot out of your team each and every week.”

Ball State has asked a lot of its defense through the first two games, but for the most part, it has stood up to the challenge. The Hoosiers mustered just two field goals and punted once off those three turnovers.

The biggest problem was missed tackling. IU signal-caller Richard Lagow racked up 266 yards and three touchdowns on 17-for-28 passing, but the only time he really burned Ball State’s secondary was on a 43-yard touchdown to Nick Westbook in the first quarter. Senior linebacker Zack Ryan, who leads the team with 17 tackles, said the Cardinals just made some mistakes.

“I think that’s where we got in trouble,” he said. “We put our head down when the ball came, missed a

couple tackles, and next thing you know the ball is down field.”

Ryan has been a key member of Ball State’s defense since he was a redshirt freshman in 2013. He knows the Cardinals have made serious strides from the basement of the Mid-American Conference defensive rankings a year ago.

“I’m proud of our defense,” he said.

“We’ve come a long way with these new coaches, and I love our new coaches.

They’re going to put us in the best spot possible to play at the best of our ability.”

The Cardinals are allowing 25.5 points, 362.5 total yards and rank sixth in the MAC with 132 rush yards allowed per game.

But those are just numbers. Watch the defense in practice, and the energy rises whenever they come up with a turnover.

There’s something different so far this year. The defense is giving Ball State a chance to win.

TEAM DEFENSE AGAINST IU • First downs: 19 • Rushing yards: 197 • Passing yards: 266 • Total yards: 463 • Sacks: 3 • Tackles for loss: 6

“I love going to war with those guys,” Neu said. “And we’re going to get this beginning of the game situation solved, and we’re going to be just fine.”

WEEKEND WRAP-UP, LOOK AHEAD TO FAMILY WEEKEND GAMES Review upcoming games, gear up for next week with 4 Ball State sports teams Although Ball State football fell to Indiana 30-20 on Saturday, soccer pulled out the upset against a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference, volleyball won its first two matches of the season and field hockey went 1-1 in Evanston, Illinois.

FOOTBALL

For the second week in a row, Ball State (1-1) turned the ball over on its first drive.

Though they finished the game by scoring 20 straight points, the Cardinals trailed 20-0 at halftime and 30-0 in the third quarter. Head coach Mike Neu said they need to quit digging themselves into a hole.

“Self-inflicted wounds is what it has been,” Neu said. “We’ve shot ourselves in the foot, so we need to make sure we come out, settle in, get off to a good start, and everything is just fine.”

Ball State’s defense held tight in a 1-0 double-overtime upset against Louisville of the ACC. Senior defender Lorina White slipped past the Louisville defense to score her second goal of the year and give BSU the

1-0 victory.

Louisville outshot Ball State 23-4, but junior goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel had a career-best 11 saves in the shutout.

After the game, head coach Craig Roberts spoke highly of his defensive core anchored by captain Leah Mattingly and White.

“Defense played outstandingly, following the game-plan tactfully,” he said.

VOLLEYBALL

Ball State (2-9) beat Morehead State 3-1 (25-17, 22-25, 25-13, 25-20) Friday to give Kelli Miller the first win of her head coaching career.

Sophomore middle hitter Avery Devoe totaled eight blocks as the Cardinals finished with a season-high 15 total blocks and 74 digs. Junior outside hitter Sabrina Mangapora led with 12 kills, the final one capping the victory.

The Cardinals dropped their first match of the Eagle Challenge to Northern Kentucky earlier in the day, 3-1 (25-23, 10-25, 25-18, 25-15).

On Saturday, Ball State topped Appalachian State 3-2 (21-25, 25-17, 2931, 25-21, 15-9). The Cardinals again set a season high with 110 digs, the most since Sept. 28, 2006 (123 vs. Toledo).

FIELD HOCKEY

Six games into the 2016 season, Ball State (4-2) has already doubled last season’s win total (2).

The Cardinals beat Colgate 2-0 in Evanston, Illinois, on Saturday. Senior goalkeeper Jordan Dues earned the shutout with six saves.

Dues allowed 5 goals against Northwestern, the host school, in a 5-0 loss Friday, but she still recorded 13 saves. She entered the weekend series with the eight-best save percentage in the country (.826).

Ball State will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, on Saturday to face a pair of Big Ten opponents. The Cardinals take on Penn State Saturday and Iowa Sunday.
