Ever since coach Amanda Butler took the helm at Florida, the expectations surrounding her team have been clear: win a national championship.
The No. 1 Gators (23-1, 16-0 Southeastern Conference) took care of business Thursday night in their first home match after a three-match road trip, defeating Mississippi State (11-16, 3-13) 3-1 (25-7, 25-23, 28-30, 25-20) in the O’Connell Center.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Gators put up a season-high point total, took a game by the largest margin of victory this year and held an opponent to a season low in total yardage Saturday. But there wasn’t much celebration from Florida after its 55-14 win against Vanderbilt. Not with a chance to clinch a spot in the Southeastern Conference Championship just a week away.
