A player from the opposing team, Carrol College, approached the woman and asked her to stop taunting his team. She then hit the college-aged student with the cowbell. Moments after, police were called. Kenosha Police gave the woman a break and only cited her. They could have asked the Kenosha County DA to charge her criminally.
