MATCH 12<br />
#25 FLORIDA 1, <strong>KENTUCKY</strong> 0<br />
October 7, 2007 - Gainesville, Fla.<br />
In a driving rain for the majority <strong>of</strong> the first<br />
half that left nearly an inch <strong>of</strong> water on the field,<br />
the UK women’s soccer team (6-4-2, 0-4-0 SEC)<br />
dropped their fourth straight match in league<br />
play, losing to No. 25 Florida (5-4-2, 1-2-0) 1-0.<br />
Florida got on the board first, taking a 1-0 lead<br />
in the 23rd minute. Karly Findorff sent a crossing<br />
pass that Stacy Bishop got a head on to<br />
knock the ball home for the lone goal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
match.<br />
The Gators owned the first half from an <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
standpoint, outshooting the Wildcats 6-1.<br />
However, the Wildcats had opportunities to attack,<br />
but were whistled <strong>of</strong>fsides four times.<br />
Florida threatened to add an insurance goal in<br />
the 68th minute when Ashley Harris found herself<br />
one-on-one with UK goalie Sydney Hiance,<br />
but Hiance advanced on Harris cutting down the<br />
angle and knocked the ball away.<br />
The Wildcats had their best opportunity to<br />
score in the 75th minute when Kate Rowlands<br />
pushed a perfect centering pass to a streaking<br />
Sarah Gaunt, who took the ball at the top <strong>of</strong> the<br />
18-yard box, took a couple dribbles and then<br />
pushed a shot past Florida goalie Katie Fraine,<br />
but the ball went just wide <strong>of</strong> the right post.<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> put together a flurry <strong>of</strong> shots over<br />
the next two minutes, getting a couple more<br />
good looks at the goal, but the Cats were never<br />
able to find the back <strong>of</strong> the net.<br />
