In the 41^st minute junior Savannah Jordan continued her dominant season by scoring her 13^th goal off of a corner from Christen Westphal. Jordan not only leads the team, but also leads the nation in goals scored. The Wildcats evened things up early in the second half when Kaitlin Miller netted one in the 49^th minute. Miller’s shot deflected off a player and went in the upper far corner. Despite the strong offense the Gators were showing they were unable to put the game away in regulation.

The Gators had two shots go off the post/crossbar in this match. They outshot Kentucky 27-6 on the night. This was Florida’s first regular season tie since 2013 when they tied South Florida 1-1; the Gators tied twice last season but both were in tournament play.
