Ball State shot over 50 percent from the field for the second game in-a-row and held Tennessee State to just 35 percent shooting.

Senior guard Frannie Frazier and freshman guard Maliah Howard-Bass led the Ball State offense, scoring 20 and 19. Tennessee State held junior guard Carmen Grande in check, as she only scored two points but dished out eight assists in 23 minutes of play.
The Tigers were led by forward Taylor Roberts, who scored 20 points and collected 10 rebounds to give the Ball State defense fits.
