Kelsey 2nd Nationally In Goals Against

Hold on a minute --- back up to that chart -- I see Columbia at No. 9 for save percentage. Wow, it's unusual to see Columbia in the top 10 of anything except losingest football teams of all time and Nobel Prize winners.

Plus, there's how a keeper helps the other players on the field. Anyone out there do that better than Kelsey? I doubt it.

The thing I noticed in the stats is the shots on goal numbers. No team on the list comes close to the Pilots. Where do we stand on that nationally?

Another reason I like the goals against average is that it is really a team defensive statistic. Notice that our team goals against average is the same as Kelsey's individually which means to me that it is a superior defense getting it done with a goal keeper who is up to the task when challenged.

Auto, I agree with your statement about a superior defense and a keeper who is up to the task when challenged.

But aren't our team GAA and Kelsey's GAA the same because Hailee hasn't played a minute so far this season? Kelsey is the ONLY keeper who has played this seaon, thus the team stat is the same as hers.

FANatic
You are abosolutely right about that. Otherwise you would have a stat for Hailee one for Kelsey and one for the team. If you want to see what that looks like check the Media Guide for this year which has last year's stats. Let me see if I can find it for you.

Last year the team GAA was .54
Kelsey was .49
Hailee was .67
