..but it would be nice to get some insight on what's going on. Of all the teams I follow at ND, getting information out of women's soccer is like finding the fourth root on a root canal.
the announcers, as Dillon says, largely avoided it. They showed Mattie and mentioned the injury. She had on a big boot, looking more like a cast, on her (right?) leg up to below the knee. So, who knows?
Despite her mistake (in judgment) for the goal, I didn't find Ashely Naylor necessarily bad. She looked athletic, fairly quick, perhaps quicker than Interian. She was lucky on the one stop. I thought that would be the game. Of course, I don't know much about goal keeping. I've watched games next to a college player and he will say something like, no, the goalie should never do that on a play that looked OK to me.
