The Cardinals topped the Bulls, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon in an aggressive conference match up at UB Stadium.

Ball State scored the only goal of the game 11 minutes into the second half, capitalizing on a UB foul, to score the game-winning goal off a free kick pass to the front of the net. Buffalo had trouble getting past the Ball State defense, only getting off two shots in the second half.

Both teams were aggressive, as the game saw three yellow cards and one red card in the final 15 minutes of play. The Cardinals outshot the Bulls 14-5, with the backline of Nina Connell, Kristen Bailey, Angela Nicholas and Mihok working to slow down the Ball State offense throughout the game.
