Individual Performances

Karoline Tuttle was the first Gator to tee off and the only Gator that outright won on Friday. The redshirt sophomore was ahead almost the entire round, only remaining tied for four holes.

Paula Francisco had a battle for dominance, switching from being tied, up and then down. However, the sophomore didn’t back down and finished the match tied, earning the Gators half a point.

The remaining Gators didn’t have much success, with sophomore Inès Archer and redshirt freshman Addison Klonowski ending their rounds on the 17th hole after being down three and two, respectively. Freshman Jessica Guiser ended on hole 16 after being down three.
