The women’s soccer calendar is chock-full of amazing matches from around the world. While the NWSL had an enthralling weekend of matches with playoff implications, none of their goals made this week’s list. The goals from the NCAA and Spain were too good to overlook. Here’s another exciting list of Top 5 Goals from NCAA Soccer Week 8 and Liga F in Spain.

5. Marta Torrejon – Barcelona

Can anyone in Liga F stop Barcelona? Real Madrid has added to their roster, but Barcelona are the Queens of Spain until further notice.

Marta Torrejon is a former captain of the Spain national team who continues to play at a high level for Barcelona. This free kick was brilliant as she created more than enough bend along with accuracy to find the net. The crossbar was kind, but the keeper was never going to save it.

4. Naomie Feller – Real Madrid

The French international scored an absolute stunner from long range. Real Betis gifted her the ball, and Feller made them pay. Feller decided to go for it from close to 25 yards, and the ball swerved right into the top corner. The strike was inch-perfect. The keeper didn’t even put in a courtesy dive as the ball nestled into the top corner.

3. Enasia Colon – Arizona State Sun Devils

Rarely will you see a goal scored like this in soccer. Enasia Colon had the ball in Washington’s half of the field but kept dribbling backward, naturally, none of Washington’s defenders viewed her as a threat to score.

Yet, Colon turned around and noticed the keeper stepped off her line for a moment, and that was all she needed. Colon made a great read, understanding that the keeper can’t jump if she’s backpedaling. Still, Colon had to have confidence in her abilities to be accurate enough, and she found the back of the net in style, an incredible long-range effort from the sophomore.

2. Sydnie Thibodaux – Auburn Tigers

Auburn managed to upset No. 6 Arkansas thanks to this scintillating strike from Sydnie Thibodaux.

The junior fired an absolute rocket that had movement on it from the moment it left her foot. Most strikes from long-range almost loop over the keeper, but this was driven cleanly, and it rocketed into the top corner. A game-winner to remember in a big upset. It’s got to be a great feeling for Sydnie Thibodaux.

1. Jasmine Leshnick – Harvard Crimson

SHE DID WHAT?! #NCAASoccer #SCTop10 x 🎥 ESPN+ / @Harvard_WSoccer

What a way for a first year to make an impact. Jasmine Leshnick has been a solid contributor for Harvard this season. She might not score a better goal this season because this left everyone shocked.

Leshnick’s first touch got away from her slightly, but the improvisation and execution to hit the bicycle kick were sublime. The first year went all in and threw herself at the ball to generate the power necessary to clear the keeper. This is the clear choice to take the top spot on the list; what an amazing goal.
