OLD WESTBURY, NY — Each day, ESPN's SportsCenter looks at the top-10 highlights from sports around the world. While most of the clips are professional sports, a college or high school clip occasionally surfaces.

That was the case for Grixon Moreira, a Huntington native whose goal carried SUNY Old Westbury to victory over Yeshiva University in a NCAA DIII men's soccer match-up. Senior midfielder Moreira's shot came from 50 yards out at a conference game on Sept. 20. The goal broke the ice in a game Old Westbury went on to win 2-0.

On SportsCenter, Moreira's goal came in at #9 on Sept. 20.
