With a statement win over the nation’s No. 9 doubles team, Florida delivered against South Carolina. They built on that momentum for singles play and secured crucial victories.
With the game all square at two and with arguably the best pitcher in the nation, Karlyn Pickens, in the circle, it appeared that she would continue her excellence and lock down the Florida offense.
It was evident early Saturday that Florida lacrosse was in for a battle. Its opponent, Dartmouth, kept pushing the Gators all afternoon, even shutting out UF for the final eight minutes of the third quarter.
No. 1 Florida (27-7) demolished No. 16 Prairie View A&M (19-18) 114-55 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday night at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. With the win, the Gators keep their season alive and advance to the Round of 32.
Florida (19-4, 3-1 SEC) could not find its spark and fell 6-0 to Alabama (16-7, 1-3 SEC), losing its first road game of Southeastern Conference play.
The two-run surge was enough as No. 5 Florida (29-2, SEC 6-1) fell to No. 1 Tennessee (28-1, SEC 6-1) 2-1 at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium on Friday. The loss marks the sixth straight against the Lady Volunteers for the Gators.
As Florida (10-9, 3-5 SEC) took full control, junior Jeremy Jin closed out the match in a straight-set victory that sailed Florida to a 4-2 victory over No. 41 Alabama (9-10, 3-5 SEC).
After two sweeps against Missouri and Kentucky to begin conference play, the No. 5 Florida Gators are about to face their toughest test this season: the No. 1 Tennessee Lady Volunteers.
The No. 17 Florida Gators (10-3, 5-2 SEC) fell to the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs (10-3, 5-2 SEC) 0-4 in a Thursday matchup on the road.
But the Gators slowed down in Round 3 and ended the invitational with an 839 (-13). Despite that score being their third-best of the season, they finished tied for third place, which was three strokes behind Tennessee and No. 20 Georgia Tech.
With Florida women's tennis facing No. 1 Georgia on Thursday, the Gators have found some momentum as they prepare to take on the top-ranked team in the nation.

Behind the duo’s performance, No. 5 Florida (45-7) completed the season sweep over No. 22 Central Florida (36-14-1) with its second 7-0 win over the Knights. The Knights were held scoreless for only the fourth time this season.

It was a career night for UF sophomore designated hitter/pitcher Caden McDonald. After only getting eight at bats this season heading into the night, McDonald put up a performance to remember at the plate.
Holding a narrow 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, Florida knew it needed insurance and a five-run frame delivered just that.
Just two weeks into Florida football’s spring practice regimen, head coach Jon Sumrall and offensive line coach Phil Trautwein have highlighted the importance of a “player-led team.”
Even though the Gators only had about two hours in between their doubleheader matches, they still wiped out the North Florida Ospreys.
As the Gators looked to close out their six-game home stretch, they looked to end the first half of their doubleheader on a positive note.
