The Roadtrip Continues

Puerto Rico wasn’t the end of the Gator’s road trip. The team heads to Fairfax, Virginia this Wednesday to take on 5-3 George Mason for the Gator’s third consecutive Atlantic 10 matchup. After 5 straight wins, the Gators head into this game looking to keep up their on-the-road victories.

They then head to Fort Worth, Texas to take on 2-3 TCU for their Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Horned Frogs are 1st in the Big 12, however, they are coming off a loss to California Baptist. Despite the loss, the Frogs’ high-scoring offense will make them a competitive opponent for the Gators.
