Fansmanship Podcast Episode 217 – Chris Sylvester and Brint Wahlberg

Last week, I got a message from Elise Krieghoff. It was simply a video that showed Krieghoff scoring on a bicycle kick in the professional league, where she plays in Norway. Krieghoff, Cal Poly’s all-time leading scorer, had a stint as a pro with the Boston Breakers of the US-based NWSL before moving to Norway this season.
The goal by itself is just rad, but the other shoe dropped when Krieghoff told me who the keeper was — former teammate Alyssa Giannetti. Giannetti also plays in the Norwegian league, and her former teammate’s goalazo came directly at her expense.
I still think this goal Krieghoff scored in college was even better.
Together, Giannetti and Krieghoff led Cal Poly women’s soccer to a pretty great three-year run. During their first three seasons, the Mustangs were 18-4-2 in Big West play, won a Big West regular season title, and earned the right to host the Big West Tournament.
When I tweeted the video, Giannetti’s response was great:
It was only a matter of time before this surfaced haha

Props to Alyssa being a wonderful sport about the whole thing. Props to Elise for an amazing goal.
It’s always fun when I can get footage of a Cal Poly athlete playing professionally. Ride High, ladies.
