Shes a product of a strong defense. You ever see her play on her PAL teams, she is not the same goalie. But she is good for a girl.


What goalie isn't a product of strong defense? Defense, like lacrosse, is a team effort. Ever watch the MLL All Star game? Best goalies in the world getting rocked because they're playing with a mixed up defense instead of a well oiled team. Most PAL teams are no different. Defense doesn't know whether they're coming or going in PAL, and usually the least skilled kids end up there (or attack). Kids get rotated through to check off a box that they played a position. Not all PAL teams are like that but most are. You're comparing apples and fruit salad.
