On GAA, a low GAA alone doesn't mean the Keeper is that good (field players could be exceptional). Need to look at the SA/GAA ratio for better comparison. Meola had a ratio of 10+ which is outstanding, 5-6+ is considered Good! GAA is easy to calculate but saves are somewhat subjective. Team statisticians don't record Keeper stats nor post on Hotstat. Most don't know what a 'shot' is: (See: NCAA 2005 Soccer Statisticians' Manual)
That's why I asked the question, there is no good source of information on SC Keeper's. It should be part of the Hotstat Game report but isn't, again, a complete lack of understanding of the position (and the game) by SCYSA.
MP-agree, about Calandra (another Dusty Hudock product), just haven't seen him much lately.
dwel32-your right, not many good keeps at U15. I think it's due to a lack of ANY emphasis by the team coaches. The position takes a lot of personnal commitment. Most coaches expect the Keep to get enough training by getting shot on by field players at practice and by the time their U15-16 most Keeps get bored (from poor training leading to frustration) and move on.
