A
pair of second half goals from freshman Savannah
Jordan gave the No. 9 Florida soccer team a 2-0 win over
previously undefeated Minnesota Friday evening at the James G. Pressly Stadium.
After a scoreless opening half, Jordan needed
just two minutes and a tick to put the Gators up 2-0. The first goal started when
junior Lauren
Silver, from in the Florida half, sent the ball to just above
the UM box. Then it was a foot race between Jordan and a Gopher defender.
Jordan won control and sent the ball to the far post corner just before a
second UM defender looked to end the play. Then passes from sophomore Lindsey
Cooper to senior Maggie
Rodgers resulted in Jordan receiving the ball inside the right
side of the box. The shot she took to the far post was touched by the diving
Gopher goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs, but the momentum of Jordan’s right-footed shot
carried it on where it kicked off the far post into the goal at 65:07.
