North Carolina's goal keep Richonds just let one in past him now, >>Spectacular! so the now the burden rests on Yale's Scott Sterling. >>Here he comes. Nerves of steel that man, dealing with more pressure now than a submarine. >>Indeed. Home crowd showing some appreciation. Johnson places the ball on the spot, getting ready.

That man literally has a cannon for a leg,
>>Yes, he does. Here he goes, winding up for the shot and, oh! the cannon has fired and hit Sterling directly to the face. >>We clocked that at a stunning 116 kilometers per hour. >>Now that's a lot of miles per hour. >>Little chance that man's nose is not broken right now. >>Oh, indeed.

It's high and wide, way off target. >>Yes, apparently he thought he was kicking a field goal. >>Ha ha ha! Wrong kind of football, i'd say. >>Ha ha! Good show. >>Back now to Scott Sterling, he looks a bit worse for wear, but ready for round two. >>And Shaw takes a moment, here he goes with the approach.

>>Oh!
>>Sterling with a fantastic dive. The ball flies straight through his hands and strikes him, straight in the schnoz. >>And let's see it again on the old instant replay. Oh, every excruciating detail captured in HD perfection!

>>Clocked at 129 kilometers per hour.
Sterling does not look well. >>Two wonderful saves and two definite concussions. >>They may replace him at this point, He's done all he can. >>Yes, as his trainer takes him off the field like a mustached lion dragging a gazelle through the serengeti. >>Adieu Scott Sterling. Adieu. >>Yale now with their third pk, Richonds is in the goal bouncing like an infant girl. The crowd holds their breath as he goes in, here it comes. Oh, very anti climatic.

>>Let's see who they got to replace Scott,
>>Scott Sterling is back! >>He's still in the game! >>Oh my! And he's taking a very odd tactic now. >>Seems to be curling up to protect his face. >>Not exactly a recommended technique, but here it comes. No, no, Lambert needs to tie his shoe. And that's why you do a double knot, kids. >>Sterling still waiting for the kick to happen. He's probably wondering when- >>oh! >>Sweet butter crumpets! He got Sterling right in the face! >>That man's nose must be absolutely devastated! He's going to look like a witch that flew her broom into her nose and then crashed into a hammer! >>I hardly even care about this attempt.

Let's go back to >>Scott Sterling!
>>The man, >>the myth, >>the legend! >>Three perfect blocks by Sterling and his catlike face reflexes. >>Absolutely incredible, though I must say Sterling does not look well at all. >>Well you know football players like to have a bit of drama, don't they? >>They're going to take him out, No wait, they've brought him a chair. >>Oh, a bold move by the manager. Bain sets up for the fourth attempt. >>And this, frankly, is a gimme. He literally just has to kick it anywhere, except where Sterling is sitting. >>There is no possible way that North Carolina can mess up this shot.

>>Oh!
>>150 kilometers per hour! >>This man can do no wrong! >>Look at him beg for mercy when it's mercy that should be begging for him! >>He has looked death in the eye and said take your best shot, to which death replies by punching him in the face over and over and over again. >>If Yale makes this final shot, it's all over, but no! He misses which means we're going to Scott Sterling! >>His face is like a brick wall. >>A brick wall that can feel pain and cries a lot.

>>But, where Sterling?
>>he seems to be crawling away from the goal. what is he doing? >>he's throwing away the match! >>Ow! >>Sterling has done the impossible! >>I can't believe it! look at that! He played it just right! What incredible instincts to crawl away from the goal like that. >>And his teammates rush the field. Happy as a lark as they slide in. >>A Bernini sculpture of a finish. >>As his teammates carry him off on the stretcher of glory we thank you for sharing this absolutely heart stopping finish.

>>Scott Sterling and his face of steel have won it all.


I bet Tim Howard could have saved that one.
