Duke Goal Laced With Filthy Swerve Lands In SportsCenter Top 10

With the scores level at 2-2 in an ACC game between Duke (No. 11 in the country) and Clemson, Blue Devils senior midfielder Taylor Racioppi struck what would prove to be the match-winner in the 77th minute from 24 yards out. 

Using the outside of her boot to full effect, Racioppi put some fiendish swaz on her effort, which took an extremely pleasant banana route inside the far post. The first time you see it, you’ll want to celebrate just like Racioppi did.

Ricardo Quaresma versus Iran, anyone? I don’t see why not.

And that wasn’t the only glorious goal Duke scored on the day. Senior Kat McDonald also laced a half-volley from 20 yards out. 

Hi, @SportsCenter. It’s us again. Hope you’re doing well.
