I give the goalie a pass -- it's probably her only game out of goal this yr

She's bound to be overly excited and want to take advantage of the opportunity. The coach probably should have pulled her at halftime and put her in the field for a bit. Put EVERYone in different positions -- that's another way to slow things down a bit in soccer.

11-14 is a huge age gap for soccer. Sucks that they had to do that to put together a full team.

Thats the leagues fault not the coach or goalie ** -- One4VT 04/10/2019 3:00PM

The coach needs to have a Plan B in the case of routs -- AirborneHokie96 04/10/2019 1:00PM

Good suggestion, I'll check; agree she didn't seem to have a plan -- WestyHokie 04/10/2019 1:07PM

Question - for the players that scored a goal, how many score regularly? -- VTHokie2000 04/10/2019 12:58PM

Only the goalie was a newbie; others were regular scorers -- WestyHokie 04/10/2019 1:04PM
