Iowa State Cheerleader Takes Kicked Ball to the Face Mid-Game

Caution: Things can get a little out of hand in March.

An Iowa State cheerleader got caught in the crossfire during the Cyclones' 84-71 loss to the Virginia Cavaliers in their Sweet 16 meeting Friday, taking a kicked ball straight to the head.

Thankfully, she returned later in the game.

The cheerleader later identified as Kate Coker even tweeted about it after the game, lightly joking about the incident:
