TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Gators women’s soccer team dropped their first game of the season against the fifth-ranked Florida State Seminoles, 1-0 Sunday.
The Gators defense held strong for seventy-five minutes before conceding the game winning goal to Jody Brown. The Seminoles won a 50/50 ball off a Gators goal kick and Beata Olsson found Brown just outside the box with a through pass. Brown was able to beat the defender and goalkeeper Alexa Goldberg for the score.
