Hailee DeYoung

Is Hailee still in the program and is she healthy?

I recall seeing somewhere that the Pilots added a third freshman GK and that Hailee was out.

Did I dream this or what's the poop?

hadn't heard about a third keeper. I think they were resting her for some unspecified hip injury this spring, but last I heard they were hoping she'd be OK for the season.

I've seen her at the summer games on campus, however she has not been dressed down and has not played.

Thanks, guys.

Interesting that she still isn't dressing down or currently playing.

Guess it's very good that Pilots are bringing in two top college freshmen GK's.

My guess is Erin Dees starts in goal at the August 20th season opener.

Beyond that, should be intresting.

Any rookie would be well protected by Pilots defense. But I am not eager to see a freshman keeper put in the line of fire for the season's kickoff.

You may have forgotten that Cori Alexander came in as a freshman and played all 23 games, logging
2079 out of 2164 minutes in 2003.

Her first game was against a good Colorado team away , not PSU at home, and she got 16 shutouts that year.

The next three years turned out OK, too.

Geez, I know you will never let any of us forget such stats. A rookie keeper would have to be very special to be first string right at the start. I'd prefer to have Hailee healthy and then I'd trust the coach's choice.

If Hailee is not able to play at the start of the season it will give the two freshmen a chance to get some good experience. They are both good prospects.

Ran into a couple of Pilots this last weekend. According to the ladies, Hailee is almost recovered and will be playing this fall.

Still could be the case that she's not 100% ready on August 20th. If Mss. Dees and Downing get to play half each for a couple of games it's all to the good in terms of experience.
