UNC Asheville soccer goalie Lassie Hurskainen is blowing up on the YouTubes with this video of incredible trick shots. From metro.co.uk:

The video was uploaded on February 14 and has already almost 50,000 hits with viewers expressing their amazement and some of the trick shots on display.

Hurskainen, a keeper for the University of North Carolina as Asheville, is shown pulling off a number of smart saves as well continually striking balls against a goal’s crossbar from a series of improbable angles.

The last shot shows Hurskainen smashing a ball almost the length of a pitch against the top side of the goal’s bar.

As with all trick shot videos, some viewers have been sceptical about whether the video is real or fake, with MrMersin posting on YouTube: ‘nice tricks 🙂 but come on guys can’t you see those are fake??’

Thanks to loyal reader Sam for pointing me to this.
