Good points. Can't say I like the lateness of the Det. goal and the lack of game situational awareness/fair play.hmmm wrote: ↑Sat May 21, 2022 10:19 amOk, If you want something more recent, Katie Detwiler scored with 9 seconds left in the NCAA tourney game against MSM to make it 17-5. People score goals late all the time. And why was Katie in a 16-5 game in the first place?njbill wrote: ↑Sat May 21, 2022 1:29 am Haha. Now we have the Hopkins brigade dredging up stuff from months ago. Actually that proves that this incident will live on for some time.
I don't remember the goal you mention from earlier in the year, but if it was as you describe it, then, yeah, that too was bad sportsmanship. I guess I can see why you are a little biased as to the BC -- Loyola incident. But you do see that you are being hypocritical, right? If one was bad sportsmanship, then the other one was as well.
And, sigh, your question has been answered multiple times.
Loyola was not aggressively defending or swinging sticks. They were simply guarding the player with the ball. They were only defending at all because BC was continuing to attack. And even if Loyola had been applying strong pressure (they weren't), that still doesn't excuse BC's going to goal. BC should have simply stayed outside until the clock ran out.
And I'm not being hypocritical. I do think it's bad sportsmanship. My post said I didn't think Belle should have scored there.
However, at any other time, a defender driving the full field and scoring is pretty sweet . Only the 2nd goal of her career.
