Looking to get back on the winning side, Ball State’s women’s basketball team went on the road and beat Northern Illinois, 63-50.
Sophomore forward Nathalie Fontaine paced the Cardinals with 18 points, leading an offense that shot a season-high 50 percent.
Six of those points came from three-pointers: shots that Fontaine isn’t used to attempting. Ball State’s first points of the game came from one of the two threes.
The team utilized numerous chances from the free-throw line, knocking down 24 of 34 compared to Northern Illinois’ 3-5, committing 23 fouls.
The Cardinals also played one of their strongest defensive games of the season, holding Northern Illinois to just 50 points.
Just one Huskie scored double-digits, Danny Pulliam, who had 11 points and added a team-high four assists.
The win improves Ball State’s Mid-American Conference record to 5-6.
