Ball State locked a MAC Tournament berth in 2026 at 25–30 (18–15 MAC) as the No. 6 seed, then went 0–2 in Avon (losses to Toledo and Western Michigan) — a step down from the 36–22 / 21–9 spring before. Rich Maloney remains the head coach as the Cardinals turn to 2027. The recruiting outlook is restoring conference punch that still produced a tournament ticket. Families will see a MAC program with recent field access and a clear bounce-back target.
