As Courtney took the pass from Caitlin and headed toward the goal, only one defender was there to stop her. Courtney moved right, then left, then right again....and finally her foot moved forward decisively and the ball went toward the goal. And then.....inexplicably, it began to slow down.....the ground was dry, but the ball....was wet...well, not just wet with a liquid, but with a strange mixture of liquid and solid that seemed to glue the ball to the ground like a piece of freshly discarded gum.

And there the ball sat, stuck to the grass by a strange unidentified adhesive, and no one, on either team, not even the ref, would touch it.

And thus was a new soccer position born, named with baseball terminology: The Hurler.
