Most schools do not fully secure the bottom of their nets. Therefore, a shot that goes through the goal quickly and hits a chain link fence just behind the goal will end up lying on or caught up in the tail of the net on the ground.
The two instances that I mentioned earlier with the ball passing over the crossbar both happened on a field with a 20' tall chain link fence right behind the goal intended to prevent errant shots from going a great distance. It is sometimes difficult to tell if a shot went over the goal, hit the fence, and came to rest on the back of the net, or if the ball entered the goal, zipped down the net, passed out the bottom, hit the fence, and came to rest on the back.
It also doesn't help that this team plays their games at night under less than wonderful lights.
