Florida's Taylor Travis Named to CollegeSoccer360.com Primetime Performers List
Tuesday, August 24, 2010 | Soccer
University of Florida freshman Taylor Travis is part of the season's first CollegeSoccer360.com Primetime Performers of the Week, the outlet announced Tuesday afternoon. She is one of two freshmen to appear on the 13-member CS360 Primetime Performers of the Week list.
Travis scored the golden goal in the 107th minute to give Florida a 2-1 2OT win versus Miami in the season opener on Aug. 20. Travis is the second Gator to get her first golden goal as her first collegiate goal, the first being current junior Tahnai Annis in 2008. Travis, who is part of the U.S. U-18 National Team Player Pool, is the eighth Gator in the program's 16-year history to score a goal in the first match of their career.
