The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets came into Gainesville, FL fresh off a win over Florida State and looking to tangle with the Florida Gators. The Jackets got on the board quickly scoring on their first two possessions before the Gators tied the game at two. The Jackets scored three straight goals to close the quarter capped off by a goal from Devin Raun with one second left in the quarter.
The Jackets opened the second quarter with an extra man opportunity following an illegal stick penalty on the Gators. Tech capitalized when Sam Eck fired home an assist from Pierce Quarles. Tech built a 7-2 lead before losing focus over a four minute period allowing the Gators to take advantage and pull within 7-5 at half.
The Jackets as they have done multiple times this season strengthened their resolve in the second half and dominated the third quarter 7-1.
The fourth quarter was sloppy on both ends and each team added a goal before the game was called due to lightning in the area with 2:44 left in the game.
The win moves Tech to 4-0 on the season. The Jackets will take on the Auburn Tigers next Saturday followed by the Clemson Tigers on Sunday.
