The No. 11 Florida softball team will tune up for a key SEC matchup this weekend and at the same time seek payback tonight against No. 12 Florida State.

Today’s 7 p.m. rematch before an expected capacity crowd at JoAnne Graf Field in Tallahassee will air on the ACC Network, ESPN 98.1-FM/850-AM WRUF.
Midweek rematch vs. the Seminoles.

The Seminoles are looking for for their seventh consecutive win against the Gators, who have not won in Tallahassee since 2019.
Florida is coming off a series win at Georgia. Junior Reagan Walsh helped lead the way and was named SEC Player of the Week after batting .500 (6-for-12) with four RBIs and a pair of home runs over the four-game span last week.
Florida closes the regular season by hosting Texas A&M for a three-game series starting at 7 p.m. Friday (SEC Network+), then at 2 p.m. Saturday (SEC Network) and 1 p.m. Sunday (ESPN2).
