No. 8 Florida Soccer Wins 3-0 at LSU
Goals from three
different Gators gave the University of Florida soccer team a 3-0 win
under a cloudless blue sky Sunday at the LSU Soccer Stadium. The win
was the road finale for Florida’s regular-season schedule. Florida
struck first in the opening half when Havana Solaunbrought the
ball down the center of the LSU half and played a leading pass
to Savannah Jordan. Her right-footed shot from the middle of
the box in the 23rd minute scored at the upper slot of the goal. The
second goal of the half started when Meggie Dougherty
Howard fed a ball to Betsy Middleton just a few steps
inside the UF half. She took a touch, looked up and then sent a low
ball down the middle of the LSU half. Junior Brooke Smith ran
onto the ball and one-touched it into the far post corner from 10 yards
in the 42nd minute. The only goal of the second half
started when Solaun took a touch to get past her defender above the LSU
box and then began moving down the right side. Solaun brought the ball
deep into the box and scored in the 51st minute with her eight-yard
shot to the far post. Gator Stars ● Today’s goal was
the 14th of the season for Jordan, who entered Sunday’s action as
the Southeastern Conference goals leader. It was her third for the
weekend as she turned in her 10th career multi-goal match of her
Gator career with a pair of goals versus Tennessee on Friday. ● Brooke Smith scored her second goal of her career today, with both goals coming this season. ●
Solaun hit her fifth goal of the season and the 26th of her
career. That total moves her into a tie for 11th with Gator
Athletic Hall of Fame member Erin Baxter on Florida’s all-time goals
chart.
