Anderson scores for second consecutive contest
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — RV/No. 16 Texas registered a point for the second straight Southeastern Conference match, playing to a 1-1 tie against Florida at Donald R. Dizney Stadium on Thursday night.
Ashlyn Anderson converted a penalty kick in the 30th minute to put the Longhorns (5-2-3, 0-1-2 SEC) ahead, but the Gators (4-3-2, 0-1-1 SEC) scored off a set piece 30 minutes later to earn the draw.
Anderson's tally marked her second in as many matches, as the 5-foot-8 forward also mounted the go-ahead strike against then-No. 8/4 Tennessee.
After SEC Offensive Player of the Week Mya Brandon assisted Anderson last Friday, Brandon set up her fellow Florida State transfer once again.
With Texas in the final third, Anderson found Brandon in open space on the right side. Brandon laid off the ball to Audrey Bryant, who slipped a one-touch pass back to Brandon striding inside the 18-yard box. Florida defender Skye Barnes tripped up Brandon to set up the penalty kick.
Following VAR confirmation, Anderson stepped to the spot and tucked a shot into the bottom right corner.
The Longhorns carried their 1-0 advantage into the intermission, limiting the Gators to four attempts across the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, Texas kept Florida scoreless until the Gators were awarded a free kick just outside the box. From 20 yards away, Zoe Main curled home a right-footed shot to even the contest, 1-1, at the 59:40 mark.
Florida notched 14 shots after the break, including six on target, but senior goalie Bayliss Flynn recorded five save.
The Longhorns continue their two-match road swing at Ole Miss on Sunday. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. at Ole Miss Soccer Stadium.
