Did the announcers discuss the goalkeeping situation?

It struck me that at least three have played in goal so far with the senior Mattie Interian injured after having been the starter at the beginning of the season.

..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.


If I recall correctly,

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.
