Game Recap
Both teams were feeling each other out early. However the Seminoles didn’t cash in on their goal scoring opportunities until the second half.
In the 48th minute, Sophia Nguyen dispossessed Erika Zschuppe knocking the ball away from her. Jody Brown immediately jumped on the ball and dashed upfield. Brown took it into the box before laying the ball off for Clara Robbins who was trailing in support. Robbins one-timed a left footed strike as she was falling down that slid past FGCU keeper Katie Sullivan and into the back of the net to give Florida State the 1-0 lead.
