I did not see the Spring Valley game, but I can tell you that Jamie Shaw's goaltending reputation really gets into opposing player's heads, even on penalty kicks.

I have talked to kids that have played against her and they said that they were so worried about her stopping a PK that they actually changed what they did to try and adjust.

Sometimes the kids get so worried about making changes that they can't even get the ball on net. I have seen it happen against her a bunch of times.



That's why goalkeepers are taught that a penalty-kick is really a no-lose situation. The keeper is not expected to make the save, so the pressure is on the shooter.
