About Erika Tymrak:
It wasn't hard to envision Erika Tymrak as an ice skater as she glided around the pitch for Gator soccer. Florida benefited from Tymrak's decision to pursue soccer over performing lutz jumps, as she scored 32 goals during her Gator career that included three Southeastern Conference titles.
The 2012 SEC Offensive Player of the Year helped lead the Gators to a league title sweep that campaign, as the Gators won the regular-season and tournament titles. Tymrak's ability to set up her teammates led to 40 assists, which still shares No. 3 all-time for the Gators. A two-time All-American, Tymrak continued her soccer career with the National Women's Soccer League and is currently playing for the Orlando Pride.
A three-time All-SEC first-team selection, Tymrak also earned Academic All-SEC honors. She received her degree in Criminology in December of 2012.
