Florida came into the tournament with a No. 8 ranking. On Feb. 6, the Gators had their first loss of the season to Michigan (4-1) in Ann Arbor. The Gators landed at No. 10 the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Division I Preseason Poll in January. They are now ranked No. 13 after dropping five spots since the previous week.

“Lot of credit to Stanford. We’re still trying to find our way indoors, but we’re here this weekend to get exposure to the top 5 teams to see what we need to be there at the end in May. We will be better for every match.”
