Gators look to bounce back

After their worst weekend of conference play, the Gators return home.
When the No. 13 Gators embarked on their second Southeastern Conference road trip of the season, they were fresh off their best offensive weekend of the year.
For the second time in as many games, the No. 6 Gators were victimized by a goal off a corner kick in the final minute.
Friday night was déjà vu all over again for the Gators, and not in a good way. The No. 6 Gators (10-1-2, 4-0-1 Southeastern Conference) tied Alabama (8-2-2, 3-0-2 SEC) in double overtime after conceding a late goal in the final minute of regulation.
After the Gators football team failed to ride into Tuscaloosa, Ala., and win a primetime game, the university’s other football team will look to pick up the slack.
Fresh off two shutouts to start Southeastern Conference play, the road-weary No. 6 Gators returned home this weekend with one thing in mind: capitalizing on scoring opportunities.
After a Friday night full of fireworks including both goals and pyrotechnics, the Gators won Sunday afternoon without any real sparks.
With a firework show awaiting fans after the game, Tahnai Annis, Erika Tymrak and the rest of the Florida soccer team decided to go ahead and get the party started.
After Florida’s game against Mississippi St. tonight at 7, fireworks will illuminate the sky. While no one was looking, Jazmyne Avant and Nicky Kit probably provided the sparks.
The No. 6 Florida soccer team (8-1-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) is back home this week after a daunting five-game road trip very optimistic about SEC play.
Becky Burleigh envisioned her team starting conference play strong, she just didn’t expect Florida to be plagued by the same problems it has had since the beginning of the season.

The Gators are about to start their Southeastern Conference season, but the toughest stretch of the 2010 campaign may already be behind them.
If a mad scientist ever made a prototype for the perfect goalkeeper, it would be tall, quick, loud and fearless.
It was an ugly ending to a hard-fought game for the Gators.

Taylor Travis is heading home. No, not because the freshman phenom is homesick, but because the forward is making a brief stop where it all started.
The No. 5 Gators kicked off the first game of their vigorous five-game road trip with a thrilling overtime victory, beating FSU 2-1.
From heartbreak to euphoria in a matter of seconds.
