Florida to Host First and Second Rounds of NCAA Tournament
Monday, May 2, 2022 | Men's Tennis
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – For the sixth-consecutive season, the No. 2 Florida Gators men's tennis team is set to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament as announced on the Selection Show Monday evening.
Joining the Gators in a competitive regional are 2-seeded Miami, 3-seeded South Florida and 4-seeded New Orleans. Florida is also one of 10 SEC teams to make the tournament and one of five conference teams to host a regional.
The Gators are 23-2 on the season and went a perfect 12-0 during SEC play. Florida remained perfect against conference foes in the SEC Tournament as the team won its sixth tournament title in program history. Not only were the Gators perfect in the SEC, but also went undefeated at home and are looking to keep that the same heading into the NCAA Tournament.
Last week, SEC awards were announced as the Gators found themselves all over the ballots. Head Coach Bryan Shelton won his fourth SEC Coach of the Year award, while sophomore Ben Shelton was named the SEC Player of the Year, becoming the youngest Gator to receive this honor. Shelton, along with Co-Captain Sam Riffice, made First Team All-SEC, seniors Andy Andrade and Duarte Vale claimed Second Team All-SEC and Nate Bonetto was on the All-Freshman Team.
Individual singles players and doubles teams for the NCAA Tournament will be announced tomorrow evening on NCAA.com. The Gators first match in the NCAA Tournament is against No. 4-seed New Orleans on Friday, May 6 at 5 p.m.
