Shannon Kavanagh
With about five minutes remaining in the first half, the Gators made it clear they meant business as midfielder Shelton Sawers ripped one past Stetson’s goalkeeper to put them in the double digits. Then, Florida prevailed in the eye of the storm.
The No. 6 Gators withstood the rain as they lined up at the Athletic Training Center in DeLand, Florida, to face the unranked Stetson Hatters.
Stetson challenged Florida in the draw circle and won 12 out of 27 draws. Although Stetson made its mark on the scoreboard, an hour flew by as Florida emerged victorious 19-7.
