Lacrosse: Facing a 10-2 deficit just 19 minutes into Tuesday's game against No. 10 Navy (5-2), Florida (5-2) mounted a furious comeback to claim a 19-16 win at Donald R. Dizney Stadium.
The Gators outscored Navy 17-6 over the final 37 minutes, including a 4-0 run by Shannon Kavanagh alone over the contest's final 11 minutes. Kavanagh's run tied the game with 10:56 remaining, gave UF its first lead at 6:05, and ultimately built a three-goal cushion to ice the win.
"This team could have quit or put their head down, but they gutted it out," UF coach Amanda O'Leary said. "I am so proud of them for that. I give a lot of credit to Navy – they came in here with a great game plan, and outworked us in the first half.
" We need to continue to get better at coming out of the locker room ready to play games. I'm pleased with the way we changed our mentality in the second half and put it all together, offensively and defensively, to close the game."
Florida either trailed or faced a tied score for the first 53:56 minutes. The eight-goal margin overcome by the Gators was the largest in program history.
Sophomore defender Cara Trombetta made her presence felt by causing a career-high five turnovers, and limiting Navy's Kelly Larkin to just one goal on four shots. The Gator defense only allowed the Midshipmen to score five goals in the second half.
Florida will open Big East Conference play at Vanderbilt (5-2) for a 2 p.m. match Sunday.
