Straight from the Source – Head Coach Gregg Troy

• "It was a good way to start the second semester; we had a lot of enthusiasm this evening. We are a little bit ahead of where we usually are at this point in the season, but we still have to go back and evaluate things and try to stay the course. Tremendous performance across the board, especially the women."

Straight from the Source – Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly

• "I think we did a good job – we have gotten better since we saw them last at the All-Florida Invitational, but unfortunately for us, they have gotten better too. It was a great meet – everyone stepped up after coming off a break. I was expecting us to be a little bit more rusty than we were, but there were a lot of good performances there. We can still do better, but our focus is on the championship meets coming up. We are not looking past FSU, but we are really focused in on the SECs. Overall, it was a good performance for us."

Up Next

• The Gators are back in the O'Dome on Saturday to face Florida Atlantic at 1:30 p.m.
