FLORIDA IN THE RANKINGS
The Gators enter the fourth tournament of the spring ranked No. 6 by Golfstat and No. 10 by Golfweek. Florida was also tabbed 11 in the Women's Golf Coaches Poll (WGCA).
Individually, Maisie Filler was named 8th and Jackie Lucena 24th in the first March Arnold Palmer Cup Rankings. Filler also checks in at No. 28 in NCAA Division I Golfstat player rankings.
LAST TIME OUT
The Florida women's golf team defended Mark Bostick and claimed its seventh straight title at the 50th VyStar Gators Invitational.
Florida rallied and won the tournament for the 25th time in program history after entering the day seven strokes off the lead from No. 2 Oklahoma State. The Gators trailed as much as four strokes with nine holes remaining, but a late rally pushed them into a tie with Michigan for first. Both sides agreed to end a tie due to travel schedules.
The victory was also the second of the spring and the 27th under head coach Emily Glaser.
TOURNAMENT HISTORY
UF is set to make its first-ever appearance in the Mountain View Collegiate. This is the second tournament this spring Gators make an inaugural debut as the last was the spring opener at the FAU Paradise Invitational, where the Gators set the program record at 29-under to claim the team title.
FALL RECAP
Florida concluded a successful fall with three consecutive third-place finishes to begin the season and a runner-up finish in the fall finale, including back-to-back runner-up individuals in Jackie Lucena and Maisie Filler. The placement tied Lucena's collegiate best while marking Filler's career-best. Filler posted all three rounds in the 60's - 69, 66 and 68. After setting her career-low in round two, she turned in a 68 (-4) the next day en route to tying second all-time in program history for low individual tournament at 203 (-13). She was one stroke away from the program record (202) set by current pro Sam Wagner in 2016.
ROBERTS ADDED
Taylor Roberts was added to the roster after transferring in from Florida State at the start of the spring semester. A native of Parkland, Fla., she started every tournament as a freshman for the Seminoles and earned two top-10 finishes. She helped the program record its best finish at the NCAA Championship in ninth while her scoring average ranked 13th in program history.

The Gators were selected in two preseason polls - #19 by the GolfChannel.com and #21 by the WGCA. Additionally Annabell Fuller was ranked as the No. 23 preseason player by GolfChanel.com and was selected to the ANNIKA Award Watch List for the second straight season.
