The Gators are Growling

Florida has dominated the SEC with a 10-2 conference record and the Gators are tied with Kentucky for the No. 1 spot in the SEC rankings.

In the five-set victory over the Razorbacks, senior outside hitter Marina Markova had an exceptional 17-kill performance to lead the Gators offense. Sofia Victoria added 16 kills while Merritt Beason recorded 12 kills and five blocks.

Freshman Alexis Stucky has been killing the boards. She secured her fifth double-double of the season on Sunday and Stucky earned SEC Freshman of the Week for her 54 assists and 14 digs following the 3-2 win over Arkansas.
