How many other schools are using this statistic as well?
Kyle/Kevin.......can we have a ruling?
In the absence of a soccer statistics guide from the SCHSL or NFHS (if there is one, we are not aware of it), we use the NCAA Soccer Statisticians� Manual. The following is from the section on assists:
"If a scoring play consists of two consecutive passes without a defender gaining control of the ball, two assists may be awarded, provided the second player does not have to elude a defender to make the final pass. Both passes must have a direct influence on the outcome of a goal scored. If the second player needs to elude a defender before passing to the goalscorer, credit only that assist."
For the final goal in last night's match, our right midfielder passed the ball to our forward who one-touched a pass to the central midfielder who finished nicely with one touch.
