Again, devil's advocate, but you could argue that the keeper made an inappropriate approach to the ball given the situation and thus made herself more of a roadblock than than necessary. Can you blame a striker who is merely trying to fairly win a 50/50 ball when a keeper comes in with the wrong technique or merely just "establishes" their position with no intent to actually challenge the ball? Allowing that on a regular basis could result in abuse by goalkeepers.
