Well, the Gators had a lackluster tie with UNF 0-0 on Thursday and then played much better in gaining a 2-2 tie against amuch better UCF team on Sunday. So 1-0-2 after 3 games is not bad.

seems to be slow steady improvement since the nightmare 2 seasons ago.

Yep 2-14-1 in 2022, 6-5-6 last year. Too bad our best scorer got hurt and is out for the season this year.

Won @ Georgia State tonight 2-0. So 2-0-2 is a pretty good start. Defense is solid, but we're still offensively challenged.

UF soccer playing @ Towson in Maryland Sunday at Noon. Towson is 2-2-1, with wins over UMBC 1-0 and Delaware St. 9-0, a 1-1 tie with St. Johns and losses to Virginia 2-0 and George Washington 3-0.

I couldn't watch the game, but it seems the officiating was heavility one-sided. 24 fouls called on Florida, only 6 on Towson. Florida played short-handed the last 21 minutes of the game and they scored a free play goal with 10 seconds left in the match for a 1-1 tie. Gators now 2-0-3.

3-1-3 not too shabby. I believe we have 10 games left and we are halfway to last years win total. Ocala you think we can snag 4 wins in the last 10?

We actually have a match Sunday in Ft. Myers against Florida Gulf Coast and then 10 SEC games. The teams on our SEC schedule have the following records: Kentucky 7-0; Auburn 7-0; Tennessee 5-1-2; Missouri 2-4-1; Texas 7-0-1; South Carolina 2-0-4; Georgia 3-2-2; Vanderbilt 5-0-2; Alabama 6-2; Oklahoma 6-1. We went 2-4-4 in the SEC last year. Hopefully we can improve on that, but we've fallen so far behind most SEC schools in soccer it's going to be hard tocatch up. Scoring goals and being more aggressive in the midfield area are still issues. We spend too much time just trying to control the ball without really putting together a series of quality passes and attacking to goal.

Looking at the records of those other teams looks like it's going to be very tough to get 2 more wins much less 4.

Another "thrilling" 0-0 soccer match for our Gators. We outshot FGCU (who came into the match 1-4) 16-4, but continually struggle putting the ball into the net. It gets real Thursday when we open @ #21 Kentucky.
