THE FLORIDA MATCH Sunday’s matchup against the Gators marks the third ranked opponent the Lady Vols have faced this season. Florida currently holds a 42-12 advantage in the all-time series, but Tennessee has won the last three meetings between the two programs. Last season, the Big Orange topped the then-13th ranked Gators in a thrilling five-set match, 17-25, 2521, 27-29, 25-23, 19-17, in Gainesville. This match marks the 30th meeting in Gainesville, where Florida has defended its home court 23 out of 29 times against Tennessee. There have been 33 three-set matches played between the two sides, 12 four-setters and only nine five-setters. However, since 2004, the teams have played five four set matches and five five-set matches. Pacing the Gators offense is senior middle blocker Chloe Mann who is hitting at a .511 clip this season, averaging 3.42 kills per set.
