[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PVI did its job and knew how to neutralize some of SJCs best players. SJC lost on the circle and did not adjust until too late.  I mean after a 5 goal run in 5 minutes, the coach should have adjusted. SJC could not get the draw and best circle girl double teamed most of the game. PVI knew what they needed to do. SJC went man down for almost a half and still only lost by 1 in OT. Coaching, too many yellows, and some horrendous shots caused them the game. In games like this the captains must lead and the better coached team generally always wins in OT.  It was the kind of championship game you want to watch. Most of the game was tied score. PVI was the better team today. Congratulations.[/quote]

Goalie play and free position goals were the difference.  Need to finish the easy ones and St. John’s did a poor job. [/quote]

This is wrong. PVI’s control of the draw was the difference. PVI went 8 straight up on draw controls at one point in the first half which brought PVI back from a 1-5 hole. SJC shot well and goalie played well too. PVI made adjustments on the circle and SJC failed to respond. That’s coaching.  SJC had better talent but PVI was better coached. [/quote]

True but PVI goalie made some tough saves.  SJC didn’t.  SJC missed several free position shots. Could have easily put the game away if they finished. [/quote]

You ever stepped in the circle on a free shot from the 8?  It isn't as easy as you seem to think. [/quote]

Easily putting the game away with FPS shots is harder than you may think. The NCAA teams with the best FPS shooting percentages make just over 1 of 2.[/quote]

Shot clock and stronger defenses create a different strategy.  Far more common in college to pass out.  90%+ of free positions that I've seen in HS this year (I'm a goalie dad, so watch this pretty intently) are either crank from the 8, charge the goalie and shoot between 4m and the crease or a set pass play to a shooter.  High school defenses are not as adept at cutting off the shot, so far more quality shots on FPS at this level.  If my goalie saves 50% a game, that's a great day.  Offense should convert on FPS about 65% to 75% at this level.  [/quote]
