Swope Park Rangers forward Dane Kelly's goal against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 in the USL Cup Playoffs Western Conference Final has been named one of the top three goals of the Playoffs by a fan vote.
The USL's all-time leading scorer raced onto a pass over the top from Tyler Pasher, cut inside his man and curled a delightful finish into the top corner to make the score 3-0 in the 89th minute of the contest.
Kelly, 25, made 24 total appearances for the Rangers in regular-season and postseason play, tallying eight goals and two assists. Perhaps his most telling contribution came in the Western Conference Semifinals against Orange County Blues FC where, with the Rangers down to nine men, Kelly scored the game-winning goal in extra time to send SPR on their way to becoming USL Western Conference champions.
