Memphis goalie was cheating to the one side to block the first 2. The 3rd girl went to the other side but went over the crossbar

Good question. We went first and the goalie just anticipated the kick and it was down hill from there. It was on ESPNU so i tuned in but don't know a **** thing about soccer. They ran back and forth A LOT and no one ever scored... fun times.

Found this article and it sounds like the referee tosses a coin to decide who goes first.

Kicks from the Penalty Spot as a Tie-Break

As the regular season begins to wind down, officials need to review Rule 7.1.1.1 in order to administer kicks from the penalty spot correctly.  Let’s start with the basics.  Any player listed on the game roster who has not been ejected is eligible to participate.  There is no requirement that the players on the field at the end of overtime be the ones to participate.  Each team must designate 10 kickers.  The goalkeeper may be one of the ten to take a kick, or a team may designate ten kickers and a goalkeeper who will not take a kick to defend against the kicks.  Please note that teams are not required to specify which orders the players will kick in; the officials should record each player’s number and the result of the kick as the tie-breaker proceeds.  If the tie-breaker goes beyond ten kicks, teams are free to change the order.

The visiting team calls the coin toss, and the winner of the toss has the option to kick first or second.  Rule 7.1.1.2 states that the referee shall determine which goal will be used.  There is no official guidance on what factors to use, but here are a few to consider.  First, what are the field conditions like?  If the area around one penalty spot or goal line is significantly better than the other, use that end.  Second, what about time of day?  Do not make the goalkeepers squint into the setting sun when facing a penalty kick.  Third, which end of the field is better from an administrative purpose?  Are there fans legally seated behind one goal but not the other?  If so, go to the end with no fans.  Try for as equitable a situation as possible.  Prior to beginning the kicks, make sure that the designated players from each team are in the center circle along with one of the Assistant Referees, who will record the kicking order and the results.  All coaches and bench personnel should be in the designated coaching and team areas.  The other Assistant Referee should serve as a goal judge, and the non-participating goal-keeper shall be at the intersection of the penalty area and goal lines behind the Assistant Referee.
