TOURNAMENT HISTORY
UF won the tournament title last year to mark three consecutive team titles to close out the fall behind Maisie Filler's second straight individual win.
At the time freshman, Inès Archer and Sophie Stevens, shot solid final rounds of 72 (E) to cap off a strong fall slate. Archer finished 4th and holed-out for eagle on 14 (par-4, 354) to finish 2-under overall. Stevens improved each round and finished T10.
LAST TIME OUT
The Florida Gators golf teams combined to win the Barbara Nicklaus Cup at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
The Gators wrapped up the final round against Charlotte where the men won 5-1 and the women tied 3-3 to total 19.5 points for UF and claim the tournament title.
Sophie Stevens was one of three Gators to win all three of her matches. She secured a 4&3 victory in round three and held the lead throughout the whole match. She was 3up-plus for 10 holes and only lost two holes in the 15 played.
Siuue Wu also went undefeated with a record of 2-0-1. She won a total of 21 holes and tied 20 holes in 51 total played for a mark of 80.3% Wu's performance led her to be named SEC Freshman of the Week.
BIG 3, YEAR 2
The true freshmen trio of Inès Archer, Paula Fransico and Sophie Stevens all put together strong seasons to begin their collegiate careers.
All earned SEC Freshman Golfer of the Week honors as Archer earned a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team. Florida's freshman trio totaled 23 (out of 55) appearances in the lineup, including both postseason events (SEC Championship & NCAA Regionals) where the group combined for 15 rounds played with Archer posting a team-best finish of T20 at SECs. They also totaled seven top-10s and 13 top-25s finishes.
NEW FACES IN THE ORANGE & BLUE
The Gators welcomed four five new Gators in Jessica Guiser (Hartland, Wisc.), Elaine Widjaja (Semarang, Indonesia), Isa Wu (Hong Kong) and Siuue Wu (Hong Kong) along with assistant coach Ashely Sease.
A SEASON AGO
The 2023-24 season, the Gators highlighted the beginning of the season with three consecutive tournament victories to end the fall season. Florida started the stretch off with a six-shot win at the Glass City Invitational, eight-shot victory in the Tar Heel Invitational and capped off by an 11-shot win in the fall finale, The Ally.
The three wins brought it to 31 tournament wins all-time under head coach Emily Glaser; 32nd total as she was an assistant coach for a season in 2011-12. Florida last won three events in a season in 2015-16 and is the fifth occurrence under Glaser. It marks the most team titles since the 2019-20 season when the Gators last won by double-digits at the Allstate Sugar Bowl by 13.
As a team, the Gators placed top-7 in all nine regular-season tournaments with three wins, seven top-5 and six top-3 finishes. UF also ended with a 2-1 match play record with ranked victories over No. 20 Pepperdine (4-1) and No. 4 UCLA (3-2) at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge.
