One more thing: it's not a free throw, as in basketball, where no
one is allowed to block your foul shot/penalty shot so the percentage
of success is very high. It's a one-on-one shot on goal where no one
else can block the Chaser, but the Keeper is allowed to block the
shot, as in football (soccer). So Alicia isn't just rattled--penalty
shots aren't easy to make in any circumstances.

Monday-morning Chaser (or I guess it would be Sunday-morning, since
the games all seem to be on Saturday)
