See McKenzie Geiger's amazing Top Play.
What do the pitch and a rainbow have in common? Both are involved in the latest Top Play presented by the United States Coast Guard.
McKenzie Geiger of
Ankeny Centennial (Ankeny) was either lucky or good, but she found the pot of gold with her rainbow goal in a 1-1 tie against Valley (West Des Moines).
Gieger, a junior, blasted the high-arcing shot from the right side from about 25 yards out. The ball sailed. And sailed. And sailed. The goalkeeper looked to have a line on it, but the rainbow came back down to earth just beyond the her fingertips. Can you say "Goooooooaaaaaal"? Not bad for Geiger's first goal of the season.
The game wound up a tie, but Geiger's blast was certainly Top Play worthy.
