|
|
Samantha started the game in goal today, staying there for both
halves.

Sam going down to stop a rolling soccer ball...
|
|
...and kneeling to get up.
|
|
Since it is against the rules for the goalkeepers to kick the
ball past the midfield line it is sometimes easier for them to throw
(or roll) the ball to a teammate.
|
|
As you can see, Sam had plenty of air and distance on her throw.
|
|
Sam trying to get into position on the oppositions corner kick
as the ball sails high in the air...
|
|
...and appears to get knocked into the net. Sam must have done a
good job shielding the ball from the ref though, as it was ruled no
goal. I assume this was the amazing save!
