Ipswich's made it consecutive away wins at the start of the new season with this win at Cambridge University on Saturday.
The newly promoted students had lost their opening game 5-2 but had scored two early goals and were actually leading at half time so Ipswich were determined not to fall into the same trap.
Starting brightly, the Suffolk side scored three times in the first 16 minutes with all three goals coming from short corners.
