Strategy and it makes you look stupid if it doesn’t pay off. There have been a few professional keepers who do the same thing at times.

9/10 of the PKs went to the players dominant side. This is not uncommon

Their keeper didn't choose any side. That's why they lost. Indecisive.

She chose. She just chose wrong. As soon as you start one direction…

Yep, she just stopped as soon as she realized.

Sometimes you have to guess. Dive or fall. Pick a side.

It’s not a bad strategy…sometimes players shoot down the middle because keepers

Both GKs made 1 save; they lost as their PKs missed the goal entirely 2x

I thought the exact same thing. Was amazed that nobody went opposite way.

Colohan always goes left.

Right leg right side?

Cross body. Right leg, left side

I was a keeper in HS. I told my wife the exact same thing and yet the BYU keeper

I don’t even think you should dive at that level. Just shuffle over even if

They also shouldn't shoot high. The second SC player

Mozingo was a high cross to the corner.

jlhazlewood

12/4/21 1:08am

It was a fantastic shot. My statement wasn't that one can't make

GSwarriorcoug

12/4/21 1:16am

Yeah, like the one SC shanked over the goal.

jlhazlewood

12/4/21 1:20am

Yes that is one i referenced in my post. The keeper

You can never miss low. You can be blocked or miss left or right, but you can

babycarrot

You can still miss wide shooting it low.

fbguru

12/4/21 7:16am

wouldn't that be missing wide, but not low? It's impossible to miss low unless

Yes - when i said you can still miss low - i meant by missing wide when

Yes it does get slowed down but it also takes the goalie

GSwarriorcoug

12/4/21 4:54pm

High shot is fine. Just have to be confident in that

bluelands

12/4/21 7:21am

Goalies reply: 12 yds seem plenty long to anticipate a pk. It isn't?

jlhazlewood

12/4/21 7:25am

Our 1st shot was also a confident high corner; she just missed. It’s not easy.

This is how I feel about shots in general.

ColonelMustard

You just have to know your game. Steph should take lots of 3s. Rudy should dunk.

I learned how to kick (PK's only) with my toe just to kick to either side.

Anyone else surprised at who was chosen to shoot?

Zoobieman

Olivia Wade and Mozingo come off the bench.

jlhazlewood

12/4/21 9:55am

Which is why I am puzzled because Cam Tucker is a 3rd team All American

Zoobieman

12/4/21 10:27am

Mozingo is left footed. Wade started b4 mission. Down to coach's decision.

I coach club soccer and we have pk competitions to determine

Thanks for the insight

I think the style of PKs from many was not good. They overthought it. Just pick a spot and hammer it there.

I heard it was our first game ending in PKs since 2012
