Last Season's Meeting:
Last season, Florida took a 3-0 home win versus LSU. Savannah Jordan scored her first of two opening half goals when she connected with Pamela Begič. The ball from Begič found Jordan in the box. Jordan and her defender challenged for the ball but Jordan won the joust to place the ball in from 12 yards. Later in the half, Jordan received the box, took a couple of touches to make space and then placed a low 16-yard shot to the far corner. Annie Speese's free kick from just above the top of the box gave the Gators the final margin.
