A mist of ice chips flew into the air as chain saws, grinders and other sculpting tools brought an artistic vision to life. What had at one point been a rectangular block of solid ice was transforming.

Women's basketball beats Ohio Valley University, 94-45

Senior guard Nathalie Fontaine led Ball State (4-2) with 29 points in the Cardinals’ 94-45 victory against Division-II Ohio Valley University (1-6). The Cardinals outscored the Fighting Scots 62-10 in the paint. Fontiane started the game 10-for-10 from the floor, and when she was pulled with 4:30 remaining in the third quarter, her point total was just one shy of Ohio Valley’s team total of 30. She believes she was too focused to notice. “I wasn’t aware of their points, honestly.” Fontaine said. Head coach Brady Sallee interjected with a laugh. “Just hers,” he said. Fontaine backed that up, admitting she was well aware of her perfect start to the game – she didn’t miss from the floor until 4:24 was left on the clock in the second quarter. She entered the game tied for first in the National Collegiate Athletic Association with a perfect free-throw percentage (24-24), but missed her first free-throw of the season in the first quarter making her 27-28 on the year.
