FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Florida soccer lost 3-0 at No. 10 Arkansas Thursday evening in front of 2,478 at Razorback Field – the sixth-largest crowd in the 30-year history of UA soccer.
One more ranked opponent awaits Florida later this month as the Gators close regular-season action playing host to No. 15 South Carolina.
This Evening’s Scoring:
After a scoreless opening half, the Razorbacks scored early in the second half. Sophia Aragon’s right footed strike out of a Florida scrum scored from short distance in the 47th minute.
A corner kick led to the Razorbacks second goal in the 67th minute. Florida’s Alexa Goldberg pushed the ball sent in by Ava Tankersley at the far post but Sabrina Jones’s header scored off that deflection from a sharp angle.
The Razorbacks pushed the lead out to 3-0 when Tankersley scored from six yards off the square pass from Avery Wren.
For the match, Arkansas outshot the Gators 15-6.
