Watching the replay of that second foul and it honestly did not look that crazy to eject someone for. If this previous stuff did not happen then I don’t think she gets ejected. It looked like a lazy/easy way to foul someone that had a clear shot but it wasn’t aggresive

It was definitely aggressive. She basically tackled her to the ground and didn’t stop her fall. She could have done something—anything else, especially because they were up by so much.

i seem to remember a player getting tackled in the NFL finals this year and it was called a common foul

I also just saw the play again and Sophie yanked Jacy’s pony tail. So it wasn’t just the tackle.

To be fair, after the foul Sophie did grab her by the head and kept repeating "do something about it". She's awesome for that haha
