The Matchup

The Gators and Sooners are consistently among the nation’s top teams and as a result, have developed a rivalry. In all, the two teams have combined to win six of the last nine national championships. Ultimately, their rivalry is only going to continue to intensify as the Sooners are moving to the SEC in 2025.

While Florida has plenty of star power in the eight ladies aforementioned, Oklahoma has some superstars of their own. Specifically, Audrey Davis, Katherine LeVasseur and Ragan Smith all rank among the nations best in their respective events.

Florida head coach Jenny Rowland is excited for the contest.

Rest of Season

The Gators will be striving for a national championship. The most recent times they finished the season as the country’s best were 2013 and 2015, along with 2014 when they tied, you guessed it, Oklahoma. Additionally, they have now won four SEC titles in a row, and last week clinched at least a tie for this year’s crown.

Despite all of their past accomplishments and future goals, Rowland stressed that her team only focuses on winning the day.

What’s Next

Tonight’s meet between the Gators and Sooners will start at 6:45 PM. The postseason will begin on March 19.
