A Now Infamous HS Girls Soccer Goalie Has Been Aggressively Tackling Opponents for Over a Year
In this week’s edition of “Things You Should Never Do During a Sporting Event,” we bring you Cassie Sturtz, goaltender for Pine Forest High School in North Carolina.
[youtube video=”oNuy4RRISXo” /]Sturtz has been practicing an incredibly dangerous technique on the pitch. She runs out of the goalie box and launches herself at opponents who are on a breakaway or are just too close for her liking. This is obviously illegal, although the play above didn’t even draw a penalty at the time it happened. What it did draw was an eventual two-game suspension for Sturtz, who is no stranger to illegal plays on the pitch.
The above video was shot last season, when Sturtz made a similar tackle on another unsuspecting opponent who streaked toward the goal. Somehow, a two-game suspension for her most recent offense doesn’t seem harsh enough.
