MUNCIE, Ind. - The Miami women's basketball team had its win streak snapped at seven when it fell to Ball State, 86-61, Wednesday evening inside Worthen Arena in Muncie.
The Cardinals rattled off the first 10 points of the game and never looked back en route to their 12th win of the season and their first in MAC play. The RedHawks meanwhile dropped their first contest since November, moving their record to 9-4 (1-1 MAC) on the year.
Despite a slow start to the game, Lauren Dickerson managed to pour in a team-high 15 points to go with three rebounds and three assists. 13 of those points came in the second half. Her minutes were once again limited due to foul trouble.
Dickerson turns the corner and gets to the rack for a Red & White bucket. Ball State leading 50-37 with just over six minutes to go in the third.
