Gators Garner Hosting Rights for First & Second Rounds of NCAA Tournament

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida was awarded the No. 3 seed in the Top Right portion of the bracket and hosting rights for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night, as the Division I Women’s Volleyball Selection Committee revealed the 64-team field during an ESPNU television broadcast.

This is the 28th time in program history that the Gators earned hosting rights for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. With the selection, Florida extends its streak to 32-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, the third-longest active streak in the nation (Penn State – 42, Nebraska – 41).

Florida hosts its NCAA First & Second Round matches Friday and Saturday. The Gators will face Florida A&M on Friday at 7 p.m., while Florida Gulf Coast and Iowa State will square off at 4:30 p.m. The winners of each match will face one another on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Last season – the Gators made their way to the program’s 28th Regional Semifinal – falling to No. 1 Louisville.

Florida finished the regular season with a 23-5 record and earned the program’s 25th SEC Championship a night ago after defeating Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss. The Gators posted a 15-3 record in league play to finish tied atop the standings with Kentucky.
