Thursday’s scoring:

There was loads of first-half scoring, because the Commodores took a 3-1 lead into halftime.

 

Vanderbilt scored twice inside a three-minute span. Peyton Cutshall opened the night’s scoring when she put within the clearance try off a nook kick at 19:57. Amber Nguyen’s 25-yard free kick simply dipped underneath the crossbar to rating at 22:32.

 

Florida sophomore Madison Young obtained the Gators on the board within the 28^th minute. She headed in Delaney Tauzel’s nook kick on the far submit. It was Young’s second collegiate purpose, with each coming off headers.

 

Scoring off nook kicks is one thing Young works on after the crew finishes apply.

 

“Honestly, it was just like a sense of relief, because I feel like in a lot of the games, I’ve been really close and it just wasn’t happening,” Young mentioned relating to her earlier possibilities. “So it was just really cool to finally get one.”

 

The Commodores pushed the lead again out to two within the 30^th minute. Hannah McLaughlin’s deep cross was headed in by Raegan Kelley on the far submit.

 

Vanderbilt began the second half scoring within the 61^st minute. Nguyen’s deep cross landed simply above the six-yard field on the far submit. Kelley used her left foot to place it in.

 

Another Tauzel nook kick led to Florida’s second purpose at 70:23. The ball traveled to the far submit nook the place it deflected in off a Commodore defender.

 

VU scored on one other free kick quickly after UF’s rating. Abi Brighton put in her 24-yard shot within the 73^rd minute.

 

Florida Coach Samantha Bohon Said:

On tonight’s match:

“Vanderbilt is an effective crew. You noticed that at this time. We had to play just about close to good to be aggressive with them. There had been moments and stretches of time the place I assumed we did get to type of push again and have a little bit little bit of play in our offensive facet of issues.

 

“I’m just really appreciative for this group to be down three goals and still literally fight to the very end. To me, that bodes well for the mentality of this program. One of our core fundamental values is that blue collar fighting mentality. That was on display tonight. I’m just disappointed for them that we couldn’t keep them off the board as much.” – Florida Head Coach Samantha Bohon

 

On Madison Young’s purpose:

“Maddie Young went and hunted after the ball. Credit to her as she just went after it. That’s a really good mentality to have on set pieces. You also have to give Delaney [Tauzel] credit because her serves were spot on. They were really dangerous and just placed in a perfect place. So between the two of them, it was really good partnership tonight.” – Florida Head Coach Samantha Bohon
