Must she be within sight of the bench at all times? There is no other reason for Montoya's stubborn refusal to put her into yesterday's eminently tie-able match, to the point of calling up the Over-Forty brigade rather than the former league leader in assists. Granted, Sissi played quite well for those few minutes. But if the only reason was to celebrate the 99ers, with Chastain going in slightly earlier, that's not a productive use of the field for more than ten minutes in a tight game, especially when there are players available. If she's injured, none of us saw her on the official list. If she's in the doghouse, well, the Pride are in last place, so maybe it's time for her to be given another chance.
In good news, Comcast Sports Bay Area will be broadcasting the game at the Red Stars live next Sunday at 5 p.m.
