VIDEO: Big lacrosse goaltender runs the entire length of the field and scores

Just for the craic

And we thought Stephen Cluxton’s kickouts and Manuel Neuer’s sweeping was good.

Goalkeepers, the bar has been set.

Blaze Riordan – or Big Blaze, as they call him – might be carrying a few pounds but, Jaysus, he can shift.

And there was us thinking that lacrosse was only ever coming to our attention for its fights.

Not so.

Albany beat Cornell in the first round of the NCAA tournament (if you really are that bothered) but it was Riordan’s moment of magic at the end of the third quarter that has caught our attention when he took off from his line, kept going, kept going, then decided to keep going.

Before lapping one into the net.
