Furman (No. 16) is headed to its first-ever NCAA Men’s College Cup after stunning Portland (No. 8) on Friday night.

The goal that secured the win is a must-see that will, no doubt, go down in Furman history. Freshman Braden Dunham scored from ~ 40 yards out in the 75th minute.

The Paladins take on Washington this Friday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. in Cary, NC. The game will broadcast live on ESPNU. If they win, they’ll play in the National Championship on Monday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m.
