Texas A&M goalkeeper Kenna Caldwell scores incredible 45-yard free kick in the Aggies first victory of the season… and she didn’t even realise!

Texas A&M Aggies goaltender Kenna Caldwell scored an incredible free kick from almost halfway to put her team on course for victory over Tulsa.

Caldwell lined up to take the set piece from 45 yards out, just right of the center circle, in the 52nd minute. She lifted it towards the penalty area, only to see the ball beat everyone, including her counterpart.

It sailed over the opposing keeper’s extended reach and into the top left corner of the net.

‘I hadn’t even noticed. I started running back towards the goal and (a teammate) turned to me and said, “Look!” Caldwell revealed afterwards.

“I looked up and the ball was already in the back of the net, so I had to watch the replay.”

“I felt like it was within my reach,” Caldwell claimed after the victory over Tusla

The goalkeeper claimed to have scored many similar goals during training – ‘just for fun’ – and she insists she was not looking for a teammate.

“Usually I try to bend him in for a serve but this time I felt he was within my reach,” added Caldwell. “So yes, I tried to hit the back of the net, but the main thing I thought was, ‘Don’t hit it out of bounds…’ and it went in.”

A&M wasn’t done scoring either, as just five minutes after Caldwell’s remarkable goal, midfielder Carissa Boeckmann scored a second goal to put the Aggies 2-0 up.

Caldwell, a fifth-year senior from Lone Tree, Colorado, scored the first goal of her career with the hit after putting four shots on target last season.

The free kick was the first shot she registered this year in the first four games of the season.

Throughout her career with Texas A&M, she has started 56 of the 59 games she has played in and has a save percentage of .728.

The win against Tulsa marked the first win for the Aggies this season after suffering losses to Florida State and Washington State, while also tying Baylor.

The slow start to this season after four games is a far cry from the way the Aggies started last season when they recorded three wins and a tie in their first four games.

In two of those three wins, the Aggies scored eight goals and six goals respectively.
