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)
