Fouls should be treated with a flag (held whistle)

and she should have been allowed to finish her scoring play in those situations. Shooting Space calls at the high school level are supposed to be whistled immediately. In college, we can flag fouls, shooting space as well as 3 seconds calls to allow a scoring play to continue and finish. Much nicer game but possibly harder to call for inexperienced officials.

Always so interesting and proves two things.
Hokie Flyer • 02/15/26 04:41 PM ET
I thought the officiating was fairly consistent
Nafeikoh • 02/15/26 04:47 PM ET
Today was well officiated according to NCAA rules**
AirborneHokie96 • 02/15/26 06:16 PM ET
The double stall on Ethen was garbage.
Hokiemacho • 02/16/26 12:00 AM ET
It was called how the rules are written
AirborneHokie96 • 02/16/26 09:02 AM ET
You also do not get stall calls based on the number of fans
GreenvilleVT • 02/16/26 09:07 AM ET
As an official on the mat, I deny that coaches and fans influence me!
AirborneHokie96 • 02/16/26 09:17 AM ET
and I'm still going to yell for a TD call, swipes, etc. any time it's
donjfs3 • 02/16/26 12:12 PM ET
I know it has to be tough to stay on top of changes.
GreenvilleVT • 02/16/26 09:25 AM ET
Boys and Girls rules are just so different
AirborneHokie96 • 02/16/26 09:32 AM ET
I hate the lack of continuation in high school girls lacrosse.

Maybe it’s just South Carolina but they don’t get any continuation here.
GreenvilleVT • 02/17/26 10:26 AM ET
I wasn't a fan of either the second or third stall call.
nvpbrown • 02/16/26 12:53 AM ET
Isn't this how Spratley beat EV in the NCAA semis last year? This is taught**
goodbadugly • 02/16/26 10:44 AM ET
I was fine with the second stall, but ideally the referee recognizes that…
CTDad • 02/16/26 09:20 AM ET
Smart tactics by OKS... we need to adjust.**
Palmetto Hokie • 02/16/26 08:51 AM ET
Agree was good match**
texashokie1 • 02/15/26 04:59 PM ET
The stall on Merrill was an iffy one
donjfs3 • 02/15/26 04:50 PM ET
That escape only looked questionable because Sasso was lazy/slow
HokieSean24 • 02/15/26 06:40 PM ET
Agree 100% - especially with where he was on the mat**
donjfs3 • 02/15/26 06:49 PM ET
I don't understand the deciding sequence at 197.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 05:02 PM ET
The sequence
Nafeikoh • 02/15/26 05:17 PM ET
Replay is up now and you are right.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 05:30 PM ET
He didn’t do enough to get a takedown.
GreenvilleVT • 02/15/26 07:50 PM ET
I wasn't trying to say that the OSU wrestler earned a takedown.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 11:13 PM ET
The sequence in question was as follows…
CTDad • 02/15/26 06:13 PM ET
OSU had about 30 seconds of riding time at the end of the sequence.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 06:16 PM ET
After watching the replay, you are correct.
CTDad • 02/16/26 09:23 AM ET
Interesting decision to stand Sasso up though. **
TartanHokie • 02/15/26 05:26 PM ET
It was called a stall, not sure if it was an escape or if Merrill cut him**
