Thompson came out aggressive for Indiana, taking the team's first four shots. Thompson's best look at goal came in the 16^th minute. Working on the right side of the box, the junior went left and then cut back right, firing a laser at goal but his shot was saved by the OSU keeper.

The Hoosiers' best chance at goal in the first half came off a turnover at midfield by the Buckeyes. After the giveaway, Rees Wedderburn had a breakaway, but his left-footed shot from 17-yards out hit off the right post, dancing along the goal line, glancing off the left post out of bounds for goal kick.

In the 82^nd minute, the Hoosiers had a pair of chances from inside the Ohio State box, but a header from Grant Lillard was saved, with the rebound coming to Matt Foldesy. The senior's shot was saved off the line by an OSU player, preserving the 0-0 tie.

In overtime, neither team mustered much offense until the 98^th minute. On an Ohio State free kick from 45 yards out, the ball was sent in to the box. The ball appeared to be cleared by the Hoosiers, but the referee ran in and pointed to the spot, awarding a penalty kick to the Buckeyes on an Indiana foul.
