Florida Gators

GAINESVILLE, Fla. ‑ The No. 16 Florida (3-2-1, 1-1) soccer team tied No. 10 Maryland 3-3 in an emotional, double overtime match Friday under the lights at Percy Beard Stadium in front of a crowd of 1,983.
 
The Terrapins pulled out to an early 1-0 lead at the 21:29 point off a penalty kick netted by Robin McCullough.  The first half ended with the Terps ahead 1-0. Florida freshman forward Andi Sellers tied the score at 1-1 at the 62:35 point in the second half on a 20-yard shot into an empty goal. But the Terrapins scored two goals within four minutes to take a 3-1 lead at the 70:00 mark of the match.
 
Junior midfielder Adrianne Moreira, who previously to tonight had never scored a collegiate goal, brought the Gators back to tie the game at 3-3 at the end of regulation.  Moreira scored her first goal off a header at the 83:55 mark. Just over four minutes later, she scored her second goal off a diving header to tie the score at 3-all.
 
The match was a hard-fought one, as seven yellow cards were given during the match -- two for Florida and five for Maryland.
 
Next up, the Gators play host to Cornell on Sunday, Sept. 21. Match time is set for 1 p.m. at the Percy Beard Stadium and admission is free.
