GAINESVILLE, FL ? In a driving rain for the majority of the first half that left nearly an inch of water on the field, the UK women?s soccer team (6-4-2, 0-4-0 SEC) dropped their fourth straight match in league play, losing to No. 25 Florida (5-4-2, 1-2-0) 1-0.

Florida got on the board first, taking a 1-0 lead in the 23rd minute. Karly Findorff sent a crossing pass that Stacy Bishop got a head on to knock the ball home for the lone goal of the match.

The Gators owned the first half from an offensive standpoint, outshooting the Wildcats 6-1. However, the Wildcats had opportunities to attack, but were whistled offsides four times.

Florida threatened to add an insurance goal in the 68th minute when Ashley Harris found herself one-on-one with UK goalie Sydney Hiance, but Hiance advanced on Harris cutting down the angle and knocked the ball away.

The Wildcats had their best opportunity to score in the 75th minute when Kate Rowlands pushed a perfect centering pass to a streaking Sarah Gaunt, who took the ball at the top of the 18-yard box, took a couple dribbles and then pushed a shot past Florida goalie Katie Fraine, but the ball went just wide of the right post.

Kentucky put together a flurry of shots over the next two minutes, getting a couple more good looks at the goal, but the Cats were never able to find the back of the net.

The Wildcats return home on Friday for the first time since a Sept. 20 match against Morehead State. Kentucky hosts the sixth ranked Tennessee Lady Vols.
