At the start of the season, UF volleyball coach Mary Wise called her three seniors — Taylor Unroe, Holly Pole and Maddy Monserez — worker bees.
"The amount of work they have put in over the past four years to improve their game and to make each other better," Wise said at UF’s media day on Aug. 14. "What has been so special is watching how invested they are in each other’s improvements."
And on Wednesday, the Gators honored their three seniors prior to their final Southeastern Conference match of the regular season against South Carolina. Those three seniors all come from Florida’s backline and have served as the stabilizers for the Gators this season.
The senior-laden defense has limited opponents to a .162 hitting percentage this season, which is the best in the SEC and good for 32nd in the country. Here is a look at what each of UF’s three seniors have accomplished during their time with the Gators. -Story by Jordan McPherson and Eden Otero, Alligator Staff Writers
