Rebs Earn First-Ever Win in Gainesville
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ole Miss (8-2-2, 3-1-0 SEC) grabbed an early lead and made it stand up on Sunday, holding strong on a warm afternoon under the Florida sun to pick up a 1-0 victory over the host Gators (3-6-3, 2-1-1 SEC) at Donald R. Dizney Stadium.
After weathering an early spell of pressure from the Gators, Ole Miss jumped out to an early lead behind its talisman.

The Rebels continued to look dangerous going forward throughout the rest of the half, and would have doubled their lead in the 33rd minute on a Molly Martin header if not for an excellent save from Gator keeper Alexa Goldberg. Instead, Ole Miss took it's 1-0 lead into the halftime break.
While Ole Miss was unable to find a second goal, the Rebel defense did well to keep the Florida attack at bay in the second half.
The Gators' had a quality chance to equalize came in the 73rd minute on a free kick from just outside the 18-yard box. While the ensuing shot cleared the Rebel wall, Ashley Orkus was well positioned to corral the ball.
Florida hurled a relentless effort forward in the waning minutes but Ole Miss was able to hang on, winning for the fifth time in the last six matches and picking up the program's first-ever win in Gainesville.
