The NWSL season is reaching a fever pitch with a few regular season games remaining. Plus, the NCAA season sees the start of conference play with some heavyweight matchups and conference realignment all in the fold. This week’s list is exclusively long-range rockets. If you enjoy seeing that type of goal, you’re in for a treat. Let’s look at the top five goals from the NWSL Matchday 19 and NCAA Soccer Week 5.

Cincinnati made history as one of the teams involved in conference realignment. The Bearcats took a big step up from the American Athletic Conference to the Big 12. Laura Zemberyova would score Cincy’s first-ever Big 12 goal, and it was a beauty.
Kansas State gave Zemberyova all the time she needed to line up the shot and almost dared her to shoot it. Once the Slovakian International had the goal in her sights, she let it rip and found the top corner with a great strike. The Bearcats first ever Big 12 game was undoubtedly a success, thanks to Laura Zemberyova.
4. Gianna Paul – Alabama Crimson Tide
