yea anderson did it real big straight up.

Benp- That's Juan. Big , barrel chested guy with incredible agility and quickness for his size. Played goalie some in the past, but only became steady goalie for the club this year. He is also an excellent field player.

Juan is one of the best keepers this years. his gotta be between # 5. and you guys might think that maybe our defence has been doing really good but it wasnt just our defence Juan or Chava thats how we call him saved us in alot of times. At wando. Summerville. Fort D. and Beaufort he played the best games ever

i read a comment at the beginning of this thread about WA's robbie owens. he's an absolutely excellent keeper, especially for his size. i'd say he's maybe 5'6", yet i've seen him make several saves on shots right under the crossbar. he has an excellent read on the ball and get this... HE'S ONLY A FRESHMAN! the only goals scored on him all year have been perfect shots to the upper 90s. i think maybe 4 or 5 goals against so far this season?

run97, has Owens played GK for all of WA's games? If so, I calculate a GAA of 1.4 (21 Goals in 15 games), he doesn't even meet the minimum for stats for the SCSOCCER site (1.3 minimum).

If you calculated a 1.4 and the 1.3 is minimum then isn't 1.4 higher? I have never computed a GAA so please explain.

GAA
(Goals against average)

By definition, lower is better

Chava is my hero.
I would just like to put that down for the record.
Yes, hes Barrel chested, but you know what that means?
More man to go around.

Yea Juan is really good I played with him for 2 years over at HH. I dont understand how that big of a guy can be that fast he used to beat lots of people when we had to run sprints. I definantly dont think I am one of the best keepers but i would like to say i believe I have improved from last year considering this is only my second year having to play goalie.

OTF et al,
If your recommending a 'Good Keeper', please at least recommend based on the following:
1) GAA = Goals Against * Min in a Game (80 for V, 60 for JV)/Total minutes played
(should be under 1.0)
or
2) Save% = # of Saves / shots ON Goal
(should be above .80 or 80%)
See the NCAA Statasticians Manual for what constitutes a 'SAVE', most people don't know what a save or shot on goal really is.
