Top 10 Moments: #10 - Urshela's Bicycle Kick Goal Highlights Home Opener Win

Our summer Top 10 feature returns and it's only fitting that we kick it off on the day of the United States Men's National Team's World Cup round of 16 match with a SportsCenter Top 10-worthy play from men's soccer.

Back during the Bears' home opener against King's in October at Brooklyn Technical High School Field, junior forward Raul Urshela highlighted the conference victory with a bicycle kick goal in the 25th minute taking a direct throw into the top of the box from sophomore midfielder Matthew O'Neill. The goal put the Bears' up 2-0 and O'Neill would score a second-half goal solidifying the 3-0 triumph, the team's first win of the season.

Urshela and O'Neill would finish the season as Association of Division III Independents First Team All-Independent honorees and Urshela also received United States Collegiate Athletic Association and Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference All-Academic Team honors.

Video of the goal can be watched below. With over 1000 views to date, it's the most viewed video on our YouTube channel.
