John Muti from the New Jersey powerhouse Mountain Lakes took a look at the NCAA playoffs first round from a goalies perspective.The change for everyone at every position high school to college is speed, but Muti brings up a different type of speed that most positions do not have to worry about. 

While I was watching the first rounds of the NCAA D1 tournament the two things that I noticed were the total number of goals scored in a game were much higher then in high school games. It is probably the biggest adjustment a goalie has to make, knowing that he will get scored on a lot more and being able to cope with it. Also the speed of the game is unreal. Watching the Navy vs. Duke game showed how fast a team can score goals. These are what I noticed the most when watching the games.
