The Florida soccer team ends its season today at 7 p.m. against Tennessee at Dizney Stadium.
This match was rescheduled due to Hurricane Helene. The Gators (4-7-6, 1-6-2 SEC) and Volunteers (7-5-4, 2-4-3) will play 34 days later than the originally scheduled date.
What’s At Stake
The Gators were eliminated from the SEC Tournament after recent losses to Alabama and Oklahoma. Tennessee, however, needs to win tonight to be eligible for the tournament as the ninth seed.

Bohon’s Thoughts
“I’m really, really, really proud of the fight so I’m sad for our players, because they deserved more than this,” Florida coach Samantha Bohon, who will complete her third season, said after the loss against Oklahoma last Sunday.
The frustration of how this season has unfolded does not go unnoticed as the Gators aim to end it on a positive note.
