Well that was quick.  Just 4:33 into the match and the Hoosiers take a 1-0 lead on a goal from Anna Bennett on an assist from Paige Webber.

Avery Lockwood makes it a 2-0 game 36'.  She must be playing like a Tazmanian Devil tonight as IU's been called for 7 fouls and she's got at least 4 of them.

Not seeing any video of the goals but saw this description of the Lockwood goal.  She catches the Kansas State keeper off her line and attempts an outrageous chip from just in front of the halfway line that sails overhead and in! It's her third of the year.

With 37 sec. remaining in the first half, Jen Blitchok makes it a 3-0 IU lead and that's how the half ends.  Her goal was described as a long range chip shot almost an exact replay of Lockwood's goal.
