Ball State University women's soccer opened its season with a 2-0 victory over IU Indianapolis at the Briner Sports Complex. The match, which was rescheduled due to heavy rain, saw the Cardinals capitalize on set pieces to secure the win.

Ball State controlled much of the game, finishing with a 13-6 shot advantage and a 10-2 margin in corner kicks. IU Indy goalkeeper duo Sofia Rodriguez and Isabel Oferosky combined for five saves, but the Jaguars were unable to overcome the deficit. Ball State moves to 1-0, while IU Indy starts the season 0-1.
