Friday, September 13, 1996 | Soccer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The No. 9 ranked University of Florida (3-0, 1-0 SEC) women's soccer team received their first Southeast Conference win of the season in a shutout 2-0 victory over No. 16 University of Kentucky (2-1, 0-1). The match was played at Percy Beard Stadium with an attendance of 2,109, making it the third consecutive home match in which the Gators drew over 2,000 in attendance.
The match began with a scoreless first half in which Florida had seven shots on goal compared to Kentucky's three. The first goal of the match was scored in the second half at 82:24 when junior All-American Danielle Fotopoulos drove the ball on a solo breakaway from midfield and passed the ball to an open Sarah Yohe who stood just inside right of the penalty box for the score. The Gators would then score their second goal of the match five minutes later when Fotopoulos lobbed the ball 20 yards over the goalkeepers head. Fotopoulos, who sat out last weeks match vs. Virginia due to an ankle injury, now leads the team in scoring with seven points from three goals and one assist. The Gators finished the match with a combined team shots on goal total of 17 compared to the Wildcats five.
The Gators will now hit the road for the first time this season when they play their second SEC match of the season vs. Vanderbilt on Sunday, Sept. 15 at Vanderbilt Soccer Field in Nashville, Tenn. Match time is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
