Video: Nesbeth Scores In Florida State Win
Leilanni Nesbeth scored for Florida State as they defeated the University of Pittsburgh, with the Bermudian footballer scoring an impressive goal to help her team claim the 1-0 victory.
The school’s match report said, “The No. 4 Florida State soccer team took down No. 20 Pitt 1-0 on the road on Sunday afternoon.
“The Seminole defense was strong all game, allowing only four shots on goal, resulting in four saves for Mia Justus and the eighth shutout of the season for the Seminoles.
“The 0-0 tie was broken in the 67th minute by LeiLanni Nesbeth on FSU’s 14th shot of the day. Heather Payne ran the ball to the end line and crossed it into the box. A Pitt defender headed it out but right to Nesbeth who let the ball bounce before striking an absolute rocket from 16 yards out into the left side of the net.
“In the 88th minute, Pittsburgh thought that they received a penalty kick after a Nesbeth foul near the edge of the 18-yard box, but after review, it was determined that the foul was just outside the box. The proceeding free kick went off the crossbar.”
This girl is turning it up. I think girls football in BDA can produce more Leilanni Nesbeth type of athletic scholarships …. hoping the girls youth teams are taking note
