That is what happens when you just shoot the ball. Can get deflected and go in. Anything can happen when you do that.
Yea but can't count the times I've seen others put their laces through it and then over the bar.  Especially with adrenaline with 5 minutes left. He deserves credit for NOT doing that.

Agreed.  That was the most impressive part.  That he had the composure to keep it low and on frame.  I usually expect someone to send the ball into a low earth orbit.

SC.

Yes he kept his composure and kept it low. Well done by him. Got the deflection they needed. I think W&L is outplaying Amherst but that is just my opinion.

I think I have the name for a new show.... not sure what it will be about, but the announcers have inspired me.

Ladies and Germs...

"Good No Call"

so much pushing and holding both ways...kicking the ball away from the spot of the foul..encroaching on free kicks...foul count...

Yeah it's a semi final and emotions run high but imo this has been a very poor display both ways

These are some of the worst PKs I've ever seen

Those were absolutely the worst pks I have seen in a while. Just hit low and to the corner.

That amazing 192 sq ft. force field. Definitely the worst.  Singleton is going to be so, so, so disappointed.

Make the keeper make the save.  Disappointing.

I'll take the positive view:

Landa made two great saves on that PK shootout.  Pride of La Canada HS!  Joseph made one good save for W&L.  That's about all you can ask from your GK

Just about everyone else involved with that PK shootout on either side should walk away in shame.

Tusks up! Congrats to Amherst for making it to the NCAA championship match. Again.

6 of 8 pks missed I believe- not a great display

Yes or at least move. I had coaches who told me to try to hit the side net on the ground. It is almost impossible for a goalie to get to it unless they moved before the ball was kicked.

camosfan I agree the stream was not good. I do video production for a living and was annoyed to see each camera set to different exposures and white balance. Seemed like they had to cut to different cameras during second game PK's because the center camera was so dark. I expect that from student workers during the regular season but not for an NCAA hired crew. (Was told by an athletic comm friend there is a hired crew) A first world problem but nonetheless this is the championship it should look like it!

For anyone who was on site... did the field boundaries and corners seem dark? It looked like the lights did not fill the whole field with consistent light.


Hi, the corners were very dark. I can confirm from calling the game. Please be advised that it's a small production crew and they worked hard. The cameras were not all the same, which might be explain why the lightning seemed a little different, but it was definitely dark on the field and the weather made it appear gloomier.
