Head Coach Emily Glaser:

Thoughts on the Gators' second round:
"This team showed their toughness today, really proud of their fight. We talk a lot about playing hard all the way to the end and they did that today with at least 4 of them having birdies on the last few holes. The course played tough, but we were smarter and more patient today. It's nice to move up the leaderboard a bit. We will work for a strong finish tomorrow."

Thoughts on the Ricolfi and Perez:
"I'm really happy to have solid rounds from our two freshman today. They have stepped right in and contributed this fall and have adjusted well both on and off the course. I'm really excited for their future here at Florida."
