It has been an incredible senior year for Indiana Hoosiers midfielder Tanner Thompson.
This weekend, it got even better.
On Sunday afternoon, the No. 5 Hoosiers were taking on the No. 13 Michigan State Spartans at Armstrong Stadium in Bloomington. Tied in the final moments of the game, Thompson was able to nutmeg a Michigan State defender, dart across the box, create a moment of separation and drill a screamer that glanced off of the bar and into the back of the endzone.
Check out the incredible goal below:
