Gators defeat Georgia Tech

April 1st , 2006

The University of Florida faced Georgia Tech in a pair of matches on Saturday and came away with sweeps in both contests in the Gators’ second weekend of spring competitions.

Florida defeated the Yellow Jackets, a Sweet 16 team in 2004, 3-0 in the morning session with game scores of 30-21, 30-26, 15-8. In the afternoon, Florida again won in three with scores of 30-19, 30-24, 30-23.

“We saw a lot of improvement in a lot of areas,” Florida coach Mary Wise said. “Amber McCray did a great job of point scoring both offensively and defensively. Rhian Davis put together a great performance today. We also saw improvement in our blocking following last week, which is a compliment to our players because Georgia Tech runs a very unique offense.”

Florida, which is 6-0 against three teams so far in the spring, will return to action next Saturday, April 8, when the Gators host Minnesota and Virginia. All matches will be played at the Lemerand Center and are open to the public.
