A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ORANGE

The Orange fell behind early after the Gators netted three goals in the first six minutes. Tumolo and Alyssa Murray scored back-to-back goals before Florida went on another 3-0 run to take a 6-2 lead. The Gators led 8-4 before Tumolo and Murray each found the back of the net to cut the lead to two, but Florida recorded the final two goals of the half to take a 10-6 halftime lead.
Florida scored at the 27:32 mark of the second half to take its largest lead of the game at 11-6. Tumolo sparked a Syracuse comeback attempt when she scored on an assist from Murray. Murray then found the back of the net and Katie Webster tallied her first goal of the game to bring the Orange within two at 11-9 with 19:06 to play.
