Gators Finish No. 2 in SEC, Earn No. 4 Seed in Tournament
Sunday, April 13, 2014 | Women's Tennis
The Gators finished in a three-way tie for second in the final Southeastern Conference regular-season standings and will be the No. 4 seed in the SEC Tournament that gets underway Wednesday at the Mizzou Tennis Complex in Columbia, Mo.
The University of Missouri plays host to the five-day event that features all 14 league teams.
As one of the top four seeds, the Gators earned a two-round bye and will begin play on Friday, April 18 at 6 p.m. ET.
Florida will play the winner of the match between No. 5 Texas A&M and either No. 12 Arkansas or No. 13 Missouri.
Tiebreak explanation:
· For seeds 2-4: Florida, Georgia and Vanderbilt end the season 11-2 in the SEC.
· Their records amongst themselves play out so they are all 1-1 against each other.
· Next tiebreak is against the No. 1 seed (and working down if needed).
· Vanderbilt defeated #1 seed Alabama so they become the #2 seed.
· It then goes to head-to-head between Florida and Georgia and Georgia defeated Florida, so Georgia is #3 seed while Florida is #4 seed.
