Kate was going up for the ball. Her body was stretched out, fully exposed when she was hit. Goalies should always pull a knee up when they go up for a ball so that they are protected as much as possible. If the "attacking" player comes into the goalie too hard, they will impact the goalies knee. It has to become "automatic". I agree that there has to be absolute and consistant consequences for a player who is overly aggressive from referees.

 

This is a sad situation that never should have happened. Injuries are inevitable in soccer but this kind of blunt injury is something that no child should ever have to experience.

 

Kate's should be out of surgery after midnight. Please keep Kate in your prayers as she begins a long recovery.
