GAINESVILLE, Florida -- Despite a three-week break from competition, it was business as usual for the No. 8 Florida women's tennis team Friday at Linder Stadium.
UF (20-5) had no trouble with MEAC champion South Carolina State (13-6), ending the Bulldogs' season with an efficient 4-0 win in first-round NCAA tournament action.
“I thought we played really well,” Florida coach Roland Thornqvist said. “We were a little nervous in the opening 10 minutes of doubles, but managed to play our way through that and executed well.
“In these tournaments when you have to play back-to-back days in 90-degree weather, when you are up and have a chance to close it out quickly, it's very important that you do. I thought a two-hour match Saturday was nice, not to have to be on the court for another hour.”
