\nHow It Happened
\nWith the morning rain showers largely giving way for the match, Florida found its breakthrough on a move that began at midfield.
\n\u00a0
\nAdia Symmonds<\/a> connected with Tatum Borman<\/a> in transition, and Borman carried the ball through the middle of Georgia’s half before finding Main on the right. Main took a touch into the box and drove a right-footed, angled shot to the far post for the lead.
\n\u00a0
\nThe goal was Main’s sixth of the season, matching her collegiate season high for the third consecutive year. She now leads Florida with 19 points.

\n“She continues to put herself in really good spots. Zoe took that one really well,” Zimmerman said.
\n\u00a0
\nGeorgia pushed forward in search of an equalizer and found it with less than five minutes remaining. Staude collected a clearance attempt near the top of the box, took a couple of touches to her right and lifted a right-footed shot into the far corner.
\n\u00a0
\nFlorida finished with a 14-10 advantage in shots. Georgia goalkeeper Jordan Brown made five saves.<\/p>\n
