Top keepers in D4 (not in any specific order) -

Lindy - tall, good at diving, strong, top 3 in D4 ; Lindy's keeper was definitely in my top 3. she showed a lot of heart and was very good. The height was defintely a positive. She got every ball that was high. Also quick in her diving. Lindy is a very good team all around and I dont doubt them one bit, but without their keeper, I dont think they would be AS strong.

Hicks - fearless, strong, good in the air, top 3 in D4 ; There were 2 keepers on Hicks I believe, one was a little stronger and more fearless and one was better in the air. These 2 keepers were very good and knew what they were doing. Quick, athletic, and fearless. Also both played very well on the field.

OB - tall, quick, strong, top 3 in D4 ; OB didnt have the BEST season, but without there keeper, they wouldn't have gone at least as far as they did. She was big and strong. seemed to know what she was doing and talked to her team which is very important. Even as she was warming up you can see she had a lot of talent.

Thoughts??

How many times did you see each of the keepers play on each team in the division this year?

Other than their own kids' team, not many people get to see teams play multiple games. So if you need to see multiple number of games before offering an opinion on any team's ability when compared to other teams, I doubt any opinion could be given.

That said, I think comparisons at this age are useless. I know that our team's goalie in one game looks like she should playing on a world cup team (an slight exaggeration) and then in next game stands there and watches the other team slowly rolls the ball past her. So it depends when you saw her, she's either great or not so great.

Agreed and that was my point. If someone has seen teams play several times to offer an opinion I'd be worried.

My daughter is on a D5 team..she's not a goalkeeper and is not one of the 3 players mentioned. Her team has played those teams and i was just saying ones that stand out. So everyone needs to calm down.
