This match completes a five-match road stretch for Florida.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida soccer team finishes a five-match road stretch Friday at Arkansas. Match time is set for 8 p.m. ET at Razorback Field.
Five of the last six road meetings with Arkansas were one-goal wins, including four consecutive meetings in Fayetteville.
Last meeting:
When the two teams met in 2015 for UF's regular-season home finale, the Gators took a 4-0 win. After a scoreless opening half, the Gators scored just 57 seconds into the second half off a Brooke Sharp goal. Savannah Jordan scored the second and final goals. The third goal started when goalkeeper Kaylan Marckese threw a long ball out to Briana Solis to start a counterattack. Solis took the ball down the field to score her first collegiate goal from eight yards.
Last Weekend:
The Gators took a 2-1 double overtime win at Kentucky to open SEC play. All the scoring in regulation came in the final seven minutes off of corner kicks. Florida struck first when Gabby Seiler took a shot in the 84th minute off a Mayra Pelayo corner kick. That shot hit Savannah Jordan's shoulder and kicked into the goal. Kentucky knotted the score in the 89th minute when Zoe Swift put in a ball that popped free off as players fought for control in the box. Florida moved into overtime for the third time in half of its 2016 matches. The golden goal came when Seiler's pass found Jordan in the box. Jordan sent the ball back to the top of the 18 to Meggie Dougherty Howard, who placed it from 14-yards in the 103rd minute.
