While the Gators only have one true forward on the field, she is not the only person they count on to score.
Senior Megan Kerns holds the distinction as the lone striker and is tied for the most goals (5) along with freshman Tahnai Annis.
However, that lead is only marginally ahead of a pack of teammates.
Five goals may not be a high number for a team's top scorer, but with two others tallying four goals and another two with three, the scores start to add up.
Someone different establishes herself as an offensive threat each game. The newest weapon for the Gators is freshman Lindsay Thompson, who now has four goals after only recording one before Southeastern Conference play began two weeks ago.
Having many capable scorers instead of one or two is a pleasure to coach Becky Burleigh.
"When you have one leading scorer, if that person doesn't produce, the whole team may look at that person, and that is a lot of pressure," Burleigh said. "With us having numerous different tools in the shed, it really helps us as far as teams not being able to key on one person and everyone looking at each other."
Those different tools have come in handy in crucial overtime situations.
In the four overtime wins for the Gators this season, each golden goal has come from a different player - Annis at Florida Atlantic, Kerns against Georgia, Jessica Eicken versus Vanderbilt and Thompson in Kentucky.
The diversity of the offense was also put on display this weekend with six different people contributing to UF's seven goals. Kerns was not on that list of goal scorers.
She may be the only striker, but the Gators' attack relies heavily on the three offensive midfielder spots.
Ameera Abdullah, Angela Napolitano and Annis are the starters, with Thompson coming off the bench. All four have at least three goals.
"We are all pretty versatile as far as our positioning and how we can switch up spots," Abdullah said.
The Gators offense has not been in unison all year, though. Burleigh complained about her team's attack not having enough communication on the field.
But it seems her team has been talking a lot more since the start of SEC play. In four in-conference matches, UF has scored 14 goals, the same number they netted in the eight games before that.
"We are just starting to get used to each other," Thompson said. "We started out the season with two weeks of real practice before we got into games, so we've all been trying to recognize what each other likes in the games and apply that to the recent games."
The offense clicked at just the right time, because the defense that carried the team through its non-conference schedule has hit a rough patch.
The defense has given up the same number of goals in SEC competition (seven) as it did before conference play began.
Freshman defender Jazmyne Avant said the defense is struggling with the same issue the offense struggled with at the beginning of the year: poor communication.
While the two parts of the team have swapped places since SEC play started, the winning results have stayed the same.
Burleigh said she would prefer if both her offense and defense could play well at the same time.
Until then, the offense will need to remain strong to lead the team to victories the way the defense did early in the season.
"I know that even when we are down and losing, nobody panics," Avant said. "We all know we are going to win. It's just a matter of time."
