Ohhhh Gkrent....
My heart breaks for your kid...so so sorry...injuries just suck.
Prayers go out to her for a healthy recovery.

And yes, what Simi said-- she may be able to petition for a 6th year medical redshirt...isn't that what keeper Ella D did at WSU?

Well, if she can petition for it, I'm sure the coaching staff would do it for her if it was a possibility and she wanted to do it. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now she's got to do "pre-hab" to get ready for surgery in a couple of weeks and then the long road to recovery. It's happened to another member of our family, and of course she's watched a couple of her teammates go through the process, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel but man what a punch in the gut for her.

@Dos Equis there are so many players on this list that not only wouldn't start on my players team but that wouldn't get any minutes at all. The first player on the list actually used to go there and she transferred for a reason and it isn't that she was just too good for the team. I watched every televised game in 2015 and we went to several and she was a good shot stopper but her foot skills weren't sufficient for the team to play the style of play that the coaches want to play...

I know that it is hard to believe but most of this AA team wouldn't start on my kid's team or Stanford. As a matter of fact NONE of the keepers would play. Their foot skills are terrible!
 
Agree with MAP on this one. I don’t want to diminish the accolade but it seems some players are picked more for “buzz” than actual ability.

Let me give another example. Watch the UCLA vs Santa Clara game and tell me how you think Kelcie Hedge is better than ANY player on the Bruins. Not just the midfielders I mean ANYBODY on the pitch. Just watch and you will see what I am talking about. It’s hilarious how coaches vote for players in their conference. How does Grand Canyon University have the rep for our region?
 
@Dos Equis PM me if you are serious about your statement. I can’t post what I have to say but I will tell you that you are waaaaaay off base. There is a reason that the blue bloods are better than everyone else.....
 
Santa Clara looked like a team that at minimum, was done with being outplayed like they were on their last couple games...

obviously they have a coach that is great, and likely made adjustments based on what was observed recently ...

they played better soccer than they have been and certainly looked more like what we expected them to be this season...

and on the plus side for UCLA, sometimes you gotta get punched square in the nose to realize the fight has begun. Their next opponent better be ready.

If it is well documented with compliance a 2 year medical redshirt is not uncommon. Mine is going to do it. It just has to be documented well and have the backing of the coaching staff, docs, and trainers.

One of my kid's coaches got 2 redshirt years in his NCAA D2 career even though he had played a few games in both of them before getting injured.

Wishing your DD a fast recovery from the GK Union. Just sucks. My DD missed half of freshman year with injury, then worked her way back to make U20 roster and suffered knee injury the day before start of WC....and missed first half of season. She is finally healthy for start of this season. I am sure your DD will come back even stronger! Hate injuries!! But I do think there is a hardship process to preserve that extra year.
