Apparently the loss hit the OG fans pretty hard. After the game, when the Titans came across the field after shaking hands, there was no one left to applaud for them.
Although I should have long ago stopped being surprised by this, I have to wonder who kept the stats that were sent to the Lima News and the Courier. According to them, Bluffton had 14 SOG and OG had 12, but Bluffton keeper Levi Smith only had 4 saves, and the OG keeper Mike Bowers only had 6. (Both teams played some good defense, but there were definitely not a total of 13 non-keeper saves in that game.) The parent who keeps stats for us had a more realistic count of 10-5 (Pirates-Titans), with 3 saves for Smith and 7 saves for Bowers.

It also always amazes me how GKs can have MORE saves than actual SOGs...meaning stat keepers are counting crosses caught as saves or just anytime they handle the ball. A few years ago a kid from a local school crushed the State Saves in Game & Saves in a Season records (came close to some national records as well)...but when you broke the math down he'd have to have been making a save every 1.5 minutes (or something like that...I'm not a smart man).
Thanks for allowing me to start the day with a rant!

Since this conversation is much more interesting than grading papers, I could not resist googling "can a defender make a save in soccer" and found the following in the NCAA "Official Soccer Statistics Rules" (http://fs.ncaa.org/D...ccer/2009ez.pdf)

The bold part (emphasis added) seems to suggest that defenders can be credited with saves. The rest confirms what we savvy soccer fans already know about the distinction between shots and SOGs.
Yes, it's called a Non-Goalie Save.

By the way, I linked to the 2009 NCAA manual above; the 2015 manual is here: http://fs.ncaa.org/D...ccer/2015EZ.pdf
