After a goal would get by her, Alvarado showed her disgust by jumping up and down and occasionally slamming her stick up against the side post of the goal. She could also be seen yelling and directing her fellow teammates while they were in front of the net. Alvarado continued the wave of great saves in the second half when she stoned Penn State senior attack Jen Johnson on two consecutive point-blank shots in front of the net. I give her credit, she is a good goalie. If you do not move her she will save it.
Most goalkeepers are weak low.
Since our first couple games when our shooting was atrocious we've been doing a shooting drill in practice. They know to fake high and shoot low, but it didn't work on her today. The practice by Penn State seemed to pay off via the victory, but Alvarado may have gotten the last laugh by leaving her mark on the Penn State history book.
