Polishchuk, Cardinals wear out Western Michigan

By Caleb Zuver / April 8, 2023

The Broncos (11-7, 2-4 MAC) certainly took that into consideration Friday, as they tweaked their lineups from the last time they played Ball State (16-3, 5-1 MAC) on March 18, which saw the Cardinals sweep them 7-0. Coach Rifanty Kahfiani expected some changes from the Western Michigan side of things, and was ready for it. She had the team reflect on things that worked well for them in the first match, and take that into the second matchup.
