First-half scoring gives No. 8 Gator soccer a 3-0 win over Auburn

        

First-half goals by three different players gave the No. 8 Florida soccer team a 3-0 win over Auburn Sunday afternoon at the James G. Pressly Stadium.

Florida scored first off a corner kick collision at 15:07. The ball sent in by Christen Westphal was headed to the near post, but AU’s Kim Spence cleared it off the line back into play. Pamela Begic( and Auburn’s goalkeeper Alicen Wright went up to challenge for the ball and Begic( just got her head on it to put it in just inside the post. Both players came down hard and left the field under their own power, but did not return to play.

Jillian Graff put in her second goal of the season at 30:09, placing a well-placed shot to the far post from 12 yards. Florida got their third score of the half just over nine minutes later when Lindsey Cooper sent a cross from the Auburn end line. The ball traveled just past the far post where senior Caroline Triglia headed it back to the goal. Auburn’s replacement goal keeper Alyse Scott made a touch on it, but the momentum was too strong and the goal was scored just inside the post.

· Begic( now has four goals, sharing second with Havana Solaun among the 2013 Gators
