Wednesday, October 23, 1996 | Soccer
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 8 University of Florida soccer team (15-1, 7-0 SEC) extended its season shutout record total to 12 Wednesday by posting a 3-0 win over in-state rival Florida State (11-5-1, 1-4 ACC) in front of an FSU record crowd of 1,123 at the Seminole Intramural Field.
The match opened with a scoreless first half as the Gators had five shots on goal to the Seminoles two. It was the first time the Gators were unable to score a first half goal since UF's 1-0 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Georgia on Sept. 27. Gator forward Melissa Pini scored the first goal of the match 16 minutes into the second half on a 20 yard shot after a solo break from midfield. UF junior All-American Danielle Fotopoulos scored back-to-back goals in the second half to increase her school-record season total to 19 goals. Fotopoulos' first goal was scored at 78:00 on a four yarder from inside the goal box on a second-effort shot. She scored her second goal two minutes later on a 16 yarder.
Florida plays it's next match against No. 10 N.C. State in Thomasville, Ga. on Friday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m.
