Earlier in the week, coach Joel Walton said Rutgers-Newark University was a better team than the one that lost twice to Ball State University last season.
The 12-year head coach wasn't lying.
Ball State and Rutgers-Newark have split the first two games of their best-of-five match Saturday at Worthen Arena.
The Cardinals won the first game 30-26 before losing the second game in overtime 31-29.
Outside attacker Jamion Hartley has a match-high 10 kills as Ball State is out-hitting Rutgers-Newark .254 to .250. In addition, outside attacker Lee Meyer has six kills.
Ball State has not lost to Rutgers-Newark since 2002.
