Colin Carmichael was animated with frustration as the first half whistle sounded.
The Oklahoma State coach was not the only person to be upset with the way the opening half went in the Cowgirls 2-1 victory against Iowa State.
OSU (2-0) had just completed its first half of soccer in Neal Patterson Stadium for the 2020 season. The Cyclones (0-2) brought physicality into the match, and it started to take a toll on both sides before halftime. No group took more of that toll than the OSU midfielders.
