Senior captain Krista Kruse ranked in at No. 5 on ESPN SportsCenter's daily TOP 10 for her beautiful finish in the 48th minute against No. 7-ranked Texas A&M.
With her back the goal, she flicked the ball with the outside of her right foot in the top corner. The ball had originated off a corner kick that fellow senior captain Alysha Bonnick received and back heeled to Kruse. The goal broke a 1-1 tie.
Kruse now has six goals on the season including five in conference play.
The cheeky finish ranked in one highlight higher than a TD catch by former Mizzou football star Jeremy Maclin.
Of the 112 Big 12 conference games this season, ESPNU chose Mizzou vs. Texas A&M as its nationally televised game.
