The crowd of 1,771 fans in attendance at James G. Pressly Stadium were given a game to remember Thursday night. In a hotly contested matchup between two of the top teams in the SEC, Florida Gators soccer team and South Carolina mirrored each other all night. They traded everything from shots to offsides in the defensive affair. Yet, despite the 2-1 finish in double overtime, the game had a more “edge-of-your-seat” feeling all game despite the “defensive” moniker.
In a game in which the Gators eventually came away with a win in spectacular fashion, they played a little on the conservative side early.
