COLUMBIA, Mo. – Florida scored a pair of second half goals in Sunday’s road action at Missouri but couldn’t find a late equalizer. Missouri took the 3-2 win Sunday afternoon at the Audrey J. Walton Soccer Stadium.
It was Florida’s ninth match of the last 11 outings decided by a single goal.
Sunday’s scoring:
The Tigers scored just a tick over two minutes into the match. Hannah Boughton’s deep through ball was well timed to find Elena Zuchowski making a back post run. Zuchowski scored her first collegiate goal from four yards at 2:01.
Missouri took a 2-0 lead into halftime. Kylee Simmons scored in the 29th minute on a right-footed shot from the middle of the box..
Florida cut the lead to a single goal at 53:31 when Tessa Barton’s near post header scored off a Delaney Tauzel corner kick. That goal ended UF’s 434-minute scoreless stretch.
The Tigers were awarded a penalty kick in the 66th minute. Milena Fischer successfully converted MU’s first penalty kick of the season to push the lead out to 3-1.
A strike by senior Syd Kennedy brought the Gators within one in the 84th minute. From midway in the MU box, Maddy Pirrello spied Kennedy making a run down the left side of the box. Her pass found Kennedy for a 14-yard left footed strike to the far corner.
