TicketsCINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati lacrosse team got on the board early, but did not sustain the momentum and dropped a 20-4 decision to No. 6 Florida, Thursday in BIG EAST Conference action at Gettler Stadium.
The Bearcats (6-8, 0-8 BIG EAST), facing their third nationally-ranked foe in the past five games, dropped their seventh in a row while the Gators (12-3, 7-0), won their fifth-straight game.
Monica Borzillo gave UC an early 1-0 lead on a feed from Taylor Gysin with 26:58 to go. It was Borzillo's team-leading 35th goal of the campaign. She needs four goals in UC's last three games to equal her 2017 total of 29 scores.
Florida showed why they have been ranked among the Top 10 nationally all season, scoring nine goals over nine-plus minutes to lead 9-1 with 16:45 to go.
Gysin scored her 17th of the year moments later on a feed from Borzillo, but UC trailed 14-2 at the break.
Lily Lance added her first-career goal on a free-position shot in the second half and Sam Mlkvy tallied her 24th of the season to close out the scoring for UC.
Cincinnati will play a pair of games this weekend, first traveling to Indianapolis Saturday for a 2 p.m. game at Butler before returning home to face first-year program ECU in a noon game at Gettler Stadium Monday.
