Great call FQ on the Van De Ven goal.  Absolutely reminded me of my former star player.

I agree that the answer would not have been to keep Castro on the bench for the rest of the second half with two fouls.  However, the head scratcher was sitting him for less than 4 minutes before putting him back in.  He picked up his third less than a minute later so at this point, he was finished for the half with more than 13 minutes remaining.  Sure, he could have picked up a quick third foul no matter when you put him back in, but I certainly would have kept him on the bench longer with his two fouls.  

And your last point on this makes the most sense.  CC had to know that he could take this chance against Maine far more readily than he would against a better opponent.
