F • 5-6 • Sr. • Medina, Ohio

Graff turned in her first career double-goal match in Florida’s season opening win versus Miami. Her first goal at 7:47 scored the first of her two goals of the match at 7:47 – the fourth quickest season opening goal for the Gators and the fastest since 1999. To score, Graff deflected a clearance attempt and then put the ball from a yard. She put in a 10-yard shot in the 65th minute to become the sixth Gator to open a season with a double-goal effort. In Sunday’s 2-0 win versus South Florida, she provided an assist on the game-winning goal.
