Florida men’s tennis comes up short against South Carolina in SEC Tournament quarterfinal

By Curan Ahern | Apr. 18

Florida’s strong singles showing in a 4-2 comeback win over Arkansas propelled it to the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament, reminding everyone just how dangerous the Gators can be. UF didn’t take time for a victory lap, staying hungry for more in a week of single elimination conference play. After losing to South Carolina 4-1 to end the regular season, Florida (14-11, 8-6 SEC) returned to Columbia to test its luck against No. 3 seed South Carolina in a Friday night contest, hoping to flip the script against the steamrolling Gamecocks.

The Gators ended up sweeping the Commodores 4-0 for their third-straight conference win by three or more points.
