Florida defeats Arkansas, clinches berth in SEC Tournament

The Gators (6-9-3, 4-4-2 SEC) certainly seemed inspired by the pre-match ceremonies to honor their seniors when they came out in the first half. It was just the 10th minute when midfielder Briana Solis hit a screamer from 20 yards out for her fourth career goal, putting UF up 1-0 early.

Florida wasn’t keen on slowing down its attack. UF had a great chance in the 18th minute when senior Sarah Troccoli launched a shot that hit the crossbar and ricocheted right to forward Madison Alexander, who bounced it off her chest and against the post.
