Evans also already had scored a goal.  I wondered if Morris didn't put
Evans in there because he wouldn't have the same butterflies as perhaps
other players would trying to score their first NCAA goal of the year (or
career).  Though it would have been very hard to argue with putting Cole in
there, not many butterflies in his stomach!!  Great player.
