The No. 10 University of Florida volleyball team will open the back half of its 2007 Southeastern Conference schedule on Friday with a visit to Auburn, and will complete the weekend road trip with a contest against Georgia on Sunday.
Radio coverage of both matches, which are slated for 8 p.m. ET and 2 p.m. ET, respectively, can be found on WRUF-AM 850, as well as www.GatorZone.com. GatorVision Online subscribers will also be able to watch Sunday's action live via the Internet courtesy of UGA.
On Friday, the Gators (16-1, 9-1 SEC) will be looking to build upon the 3-0 win they scored over Auburn on the opening weekend of SEC play. UF held the Tigers to .038 hitting in the contest, chalking up 9.5 total blocks along the way, while senior middle blocker Kisya Killingsworth (Deltona, Fla.) led the offensive attack with a dozen kills.
Florida will also be looking to sweep the season series with Georgia when it meets UGA on Sunday, as the Orange and Blue captured a 3-1 win over the Bulldogs in the SEC opener. Senior setter Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.) recorded the fourth triple-double of her career in that match, finishing with 46 assists, 15 digs and 11 kills.
Senior outside hitter Marcie Hampton (Gainesville, Fla.) leads UF into the weekend with the hot hand on offense, having hit .483 and averaged 4.79 kills per game in her last four matches. During that stretch, Hampton has also posted averages of 0.57 aces and 0.50 blocks per game.
