We Need More Moonshot Soccer Goals

by Michael Tunison • Oct 23, 2009 3:27 PM EDT


On Wednesday night, Southern Methodist University freshman Ryan Rosenbaum provided what ended up being the deciding goal in the Mustangs' 3-2 victory over No. 16 Tulsa. Considering we're not usually ones to recap collegiate soccer games, he must have done so in noteworthy fashion.

Does a 95-yard goal count? Yes, by any standard, I believe that it does.

At the time, Southern Methodist was nursing a 2-1 lead in the 63rd minute as Tulsa lost possession on the SMU side of the field. Rosenbaum, a defender who had yet to take a shot on goal through four games in college, cleared the ball with a high, arching kick. The ball took a huge bounce off the turf that bounded over the Tulsa goaltender and into the net.

Altogether, not a terrible way for your first shot to turn out.
