Florida Gators

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 5-seed Florida is set to host No. 12-seed Tennessee in the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium this Friday through Sunday.

The Gators (47-15) open play against the Lady Vols (42-15) Friday at 7 p.m. (ET) on ESPN2, then again Saturday at 6 p.m. (ET) on ESPN. The two are scheduled to play a game three, if necessary, Sunday at 2 p.m. (ET) on ESPNU.

The two programs met previously this season during SEC Opening Weekend at KSP Stadium. Tennessee took the series 2-1 with wins in the first two games, 9-1 (5) and 3-0, but Florida bounced back in the series finale to run-rule the Lady Vols, 8-0, in a six-inning game.

Fans can listen to the action this weekend on WGGG (92.1 FM/1230 AM) and WMOP (100.1 FM/900 AM) with Kyle Crooks and Ryan Urquhart on the call. Eric Frede and Madison Shipman will serve as hosts of the television broadcasts this weekend.
