The trips out east are because that's where the teams are lol. Other than Big 10 and a couple CA schools I don't think there are any programs S of North Carolina or W of Ohio.
Good point. I didn't realize that. There are three schools in CA though.....

The passing and receiving looked off vs Penn. I think it's a multi purpose field. Which would cause the ball to take unusual hops and disrupt the flow of the game.
Interesting. I never knew that, but it would help explain why the 'Cats had so many shots on goal and only scored on 4 of them. But it doesn't explain how Penn had so few shots on goal and scored on nearly all of them. (By the way, do you have some direct connection to the team, or are you just a crazy like me who follows all NU teams regardless of the sport?)
I can only comment on the 3rd quarter. The one goal Penn scored, the ball hopped over the keepers stick without any assistance. Our keeper makes that save every other time. She is amazing!
My only connection to the team is that my kiddo will be a keeper at NU next year to learn from the amazing Skubisz.
Go Cats!
Great info and much appreciated. Your daughter must be a hell of a player if she's been recruited to join the best team in the country!
Woot!!!
Win 2-1 in OT. This team has no quit. They were down 0-1 in the 4th and just seemed to turn it up 4 levels. Once it got to OT, I knew they would win. The girls dominated OT. It was just a matter of time before they put the winning shot in the net.

I've got a question for you. Why do they water the field before the game and at the half?
Great question.
It makes the ball go smoother and faster. We call it water turf. The ball is different too. It has dimples like a golf ball.
I was following online. Looking at box score afterwards the attendance was over 1,100. That's a huge crowd for FH.
FH is huge in PA and NJ. It was a Sunday, so no high school games. I know a few families that went to the game and they had a 2hr. Drive.
I'm from Erie, quite a distance from you. We don't have much, if any, field hockey in NW Pa. I'm a big fan of all NU athletic teams, both men and women. My annual contribution to NU goes exclusively to the Wildcat Excellence fund. Whenever I visit the campus, I try to get to both men and women's games if possible.
I grew up a PSU fan. Lots of family went there. My kids top choice was PSU for years. That was all over when coach Will offered her a spot on the team. She verbally committed on the spot. She didn't even discuss it with me or her mom. Love that kid and now love NU.
I will be donating to the wrestling team and FH team this year. I enjoy all collegiate sport.
They are a powerhouse. Probably 5 high end D1 players a year come from Emmaus.
My kids team, Lake Lehman, has 1 a year.
Tough loss to Iowa yesterday at home 2-0. Iowa didn't have many chances but, they took advantage of 2 great passes to sniper like goals. Their defense and goalie play were superb. Kudos to them, they played a close to perfect game.
NU played well. They just couldn't get the ball in the back of the net.
One of the unluckiest plays of the game, Zimmer had a wonderful shot on goal. It was a sure goal. Only to be denied by a teammates face... Ouch

Well, at least now she has dimples..........from the imprint of the ball! I learned that from You.One of the unluckiest plays of the game, Zimmer had a wonderful shot on goal. It was a sure goal. Only to be denied by a teammates face... Ouch
Win vs Richmond Spiders 5-0!
I had a feeling the Cats would come out blazing after the Iowa game.

Game Day! The matchup today pits the 2 best keepers in the NCAA against each other. I predict a low scoring game. I love PSU, but not today. 2-1 Cats!
Go Cats!
