Muncie, IN – A second-minute goal followed by a pair of scores in the second half downed the Austin Peay State University (APSU) soccer team in its nonconference finale against Ball State 3-0, Sunday, at the Briner Sports Complex.
Ball State (2-4) scored its first goal of the game following a corner kick that resulted in congestion in front of the net and resulted in the score.
After the score, the Cardinals recorded five straight shots until Tori Case fired an attempt that was saved by BSU’s Bethany Moser in the 29th minute. Annabel Anderson then tallied the Govs’ next score in the 33rd minute, but it also was saved by Moser.
Ball State held its one-goal advantage heading into the break following 12 first-half shots. Despite the early point differential, the APSU Governors and Cardinals entered the half with a trio of shots on net.
The Cardinals extended their lead in the 56th minute before recording the final score of the match minutes later.
