Flipped ?
hi guys,
In the following sentences, the word "flipped" could be understood in a few ways, I think.
(With no knowledge of lacrosse, it's hard for me to understand though.)
What is the best interpretation of the meaning of "flipped" in this situation?
Your comments would be a big help for me.
Thanks a lot~!

A: It is a historic moment! That goal will be recorded in the history books forever!
B: What? So he scored the winning goal. So what?
A: But did you see that shot? He flipped it lacrosse style over the goal keeper's shoulder!

To flip - to move, push, or throw (something) with a sudden sharp movement. In your example there is a reference to lacrosse which is a team game, originally played by North American Indians, in which the ball is thrown, caught, and carried with a long-handled stick having a curved L-shaped or triangular frame at one end with a piece of shallow netting in the angle. I guess he flipped it like people do it in lacrosse game .
