Goals
from four different players gave No. 8 Florida a 4-0 win at Florida
International Sunday evening at the FIU Soccer Complex.
Three
scored their first goals of the season – with two posting the first of their
Gator careers Sunday. Senior Caroline Triglia provided the only score of
the opening half, putting in her right-footed shot in the 36th
minute. Savannah Jordan put in a spinning shot in the 52nd minute
to up the freshman’s total to six goals through four matches. Then two headers
off corner kicks in a five-minute span pushed the lead to 4-0. First Pamela Begič put in a score at 53:24
and then Meggie Dougherty Howard headed in a ball from almost the same
spot at 58:21.
