Florida scored first off a corner kick
collision at 15:07. The ball sent in by Christen
Westphal was headed to the near post by Savannah
Jordan, but AU’s Kim Spence cleared it off the line back into play. Pamela
Begič and Auburn’s goalkeeper Alicen Wright went
up to challenge for the ball and Begič 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.
