The Golden Bears (7-3-1), who have now won seven straight games, tying the second-best win-streak in KU history, scored three first-half goals and held on in the second half for the one-goal Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference crossover game.

Chelsea Bressler (fr. Cleona/Annville-Cleona) and Jen Tice (so. Barnegat, N.J./Southern Regional) also had goals for the Golden Bears.

Kahl opened the scoring in the 4th minute, taking a drop pass from Raven Chiara (jr. Jamesburg, N.J./Monroe Twp.) and firing the ball to the upper-right corner. Bressler created the play by dribbling down the left sideline and sending the ball into the box.

Bressler made it 2-0 in the 17th minute, scoring unassisted, and Tice headed in a corner kick from Kahl less than two minutes later.

Indiana (7-3), ranked No. 4 in the Atlantic Region, rallied late, scoring with 27:16 left and 1:08 left on goals from Sarah Romasco and Allison Keller, respectively, but it wasn't enough.

Steph Addleman (fr. Chambersburg/Chambersburg) made 11 saves while facing 17 shots to keep KU in the game. Of her 11 stops, three were diving efforts to keep the Crimson Hawks off the scoreboard.

"What a great result today," KU coach Erik Burstein said. "The first half our girls were absolutely brilliant and they played with tremendous class. I could not be more proud of them. I am extremely happy with the result. I see so much potential in the girls who make up this team and I am confident we are only going to get better. Our girls should be very proud, they were first class today."

The Golden Bears will return to the field at 2 p.m. Tuesday for a PSAC East contest against Shippensburg, ranked seventh in the region.
