[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of very tall keepers on NVA clubs. The girl on NVA is 6'2 or 3" and going to Wake Forest and the girl on VDA is 6'4" or 5" and going to VT. I think a 2024 on RU was 6'2" and she's at Oklahoma St. All three are very good and recruited early. As a keeper dad, it matters not just "over 6ft = college", but when you eliminate corner in-balls and crosses, being a "big girl" matters. I think women's soccer will eventually come around and see the difference. Problem is for some keepers who are talented, the schools that make tournament every year used up scholarships on field players, rightly so. Keepers lose a little bit and the best go to smaller schools. Then you get small girls on good teams (see FSU disastrous keeping). If I told you speed matters to a winger, you'd nod. If I said being tall matters for a keeper, it's a freak out 'no no no, nuh unh..." Yes, it matters. Go see for yourself when a monster keeper is 2X the size of the striker. They're right in our area.[/quote]
