The Florida Gators hit the road to Baton Rouge on Friday and the soccer squad coming home with a much needed win.
Florida (5-3-3) took on the LSU Tigers (7-4-1) in enemy territory and piled up four goals while earning a shutout. The victory ended a four-game winning drought, drawing in the last match against Kentucky and losing to No. 5 FSU, LSU and Missouri.
Florida head coach Samantha Bohon was relieved her squad came together to get the big win.
“This was long overdue,” Bohon said. “Our group has done enough to win a few times in conference play and it’s not fallen our way, so I’m really happy for them to have a win like this. Wins are hard to come by, but road wins are even harder, so this is something our group should be proud of.”
The Gators scored twice in each half, two of them coming from the foot of freshman Megan Hinnenkamp. The scores are her only ones of the season, so far.
Up next for the Florida Gators is a home match with the Mississippi State Bulldogs, starting at 6 p.m. EDT and streaming on SEC Network+.
