Megan McClure of
Webster Groves (Mo.) is used to stopping goals. She decided to get on the other side of things Thursday night with a jaw-dropping boot.
The senior somehow blasted a game-winning 51-yard free kick in the 56th minute to top Rockwood Summit (Fenton, Mo.) 1-0. Her teammates dogpiled on her in a jubilant celebration after the big goal and the Statesmen made it stand.
It's pretty rare for a keeper to notch a shutout and tally the game-winning goal, thus why McClure's big play was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter.
The crucial goal gave the 20-win Statesmen their third-straight Missouri Class 3 District 3 championship. Webster Groves will host Visitation Academy (St. Louis, Mo.) in sectional play on Tuesday.
