#15 Michael Waller with a yellow card in the 36' minute
@thehoosierhuddle Blatant foul with no intent at the ball. Totally agree

HALFTIME REPORT: 1-0 IU
- Indiana is clearly still better than Evansville, but Evansville was successful in parking the bus to begin the game
- Indiana has dominated possession
- Evansville has one shot, and it was right at the goalie. IU defensive backline is inpenetrable
- Yellow card should've been a red
- Indiana should look to score 2-3 more goals in this half and move on to Butler
