What a battle, Stelly has really improved!

35:40 Hannah gets robbed. Does she go hard into the near wall? Yes, but that was her finish, she didnt recoil and Izzy didnt make a block the, ball hit the goalpost. How she lost that point is nuts in my opinion.

If what you described is all that happened, I would 100% agree with you. The part you're missing is the ball doesn't just hit the post. It hits the post and then goes off the back of Isabelle's 2-bar guy, and at the exact moment the ball hits the back of that guy, Hannah's 2-bar bumper is compressed on that near wall. Close call for sure, but also a super easy one to make if you're one of the few zillion people who were asked to make a call and (separately) made the same call.

@@HelloIamClay Im in the mindset that if you make the block then are scrambling to control the ball, the shooter cant be going hard into the wall. My point is she didnt make the block at all. It hit post and rattled in but the goalie never got in front of that ball.

@@watchmorerugby6418 That's just not how rules work. If you don't like the rules, then that's a different conversation. But the rules as they are currently are incredibly clear on this, and it was an infraction. To say a player got robbed of a point here isn't simply incorrect; it's also an insult to *both* refs and the opponent who got jarred. I get it though. Some people think jarring is okay. Y'all just need better representation on the rules committee, I guess.

"Yes, but that was her finish," ???? Irrelevant!
