As we get closer to the NCAA tournament, we decided to showcase seven of the many amazing goals we have seen so far in the 2021-22 campaign.
We took to Twitter to ask the community: Who scored the best goal so far this season? These are just some of the many nominations we received.
If we've missed out on including a great goal, let us know by replying to this tweet on @NCAASoccer.
Mari Brenden | Stony Brook

We STILL can't believe Mari did this last night 🤯🤯
