And it looked like she was bumped into the crease by the NW player.
I would actually like the second one explained more. The Northwestern player made an unnatural move to get in the way. Even with that, i’m not even sure it made contact and it certainly wasn’t an out of control play. Given where the NW girl was, Godine made an awesome play and it somehow cost us the game
2 things - surprised there were 0 shooting space calls and only a couple of FPS. Much different from previous games.
Wish Chloe would play more up top instead of behind. She could have dodged more and maybe drawn some shooting space calls.

In real time, there was nothing that gave me pause as to this being a good goal, but as soon as I saw the officials huddled together I knew they were cooking up some BS.
A completely inexplicable, indefensible call, especially given the stakes.
Question to those who watch women's lax regularly.
How many times this season have you seen a goal overturned? Is it common? And how often does one overturned and a penalty tacked on?
SECTION 13. Goal Circle Fouls: Outside of the goalkeeper, one of the following criteria must be met for a player to enter, or to have any portion of their body or stick on or over, the goal circle at any time:
a. On a shot, the shooter may follow through with their stick over the goal circle; however, the shooter’s feet must not touch the goal circle. The shooting motion must be initiated from outside the goal circle.
yhe key phrase here is “at any time” so technically, that includes after the shot is made and goes is the net.
but you don’t often see a goal circle violattion this long after a made goal. And she was pushed from behind.
conversely, NW scored their last goal on a much clearer circle violation, but no whistles nor review.
Goal overturned is pretty common. Probably at least one a game on average for circle violation, stick violation or dangerous follow-through. Charging sometimes too though that is more rare.
dangerous follow through is by definition a card, so that is the normal outcome.
but the two overturned this game were bad calls. Plain and simple. And the one not overturned on NW also a bad call. Three goal Swing on the face of it, and even more when you consider that NW scored on the yellow card.
