Meyer went the right direction most of the time and almost blocked several PKs. The UNC goalie was beat badly almost every time.

There was the one where Meyer went to her left and went too far since the ball came in behind her--she got a hand on it but could not stop it.  And there was the kick from  the UNC goalie that went high and straight, Meyer could only have stopped it if she did not move right or left.

I wondered about those two and what it says about the strategy.  If goalies always guess and move right or left, then why not kick the ball right down the middle?  That is sort of what happened to Meyer twice.
