The No. 15 University of Florida volleyball team is set to kick off their SEC play on Thursday with a match against Oklahoma. The Gators, who have had a strong start to the season with a 6-1 record, will be looking to continue their success as they enter conference play.
The team is led by head coach Mary Wise, who is in her 31st season at the helm of the program. Wise has led the Gators to numerous SEC titles and NCAA tournament appearances over the years, and she will be looking to add to that success this season.
The Gators are led on the court by senior outside hitter Thayer Hall, who was named the SEC offensive player of the week earlier this season. Hall is averaging over 4 kills per set and is a force to be reckoned with at the net.
In addition to Hall, the Gators have a strong supporting cast of players, including sophomore middle blocker Lauren Forte and junior setter Marlie Monserez. Forte leads the team in blocks, while Monserez is averaging over 10 assists per set.
The Gators have a tough road ahead in the SEC, with matchups against powerhouse teams like Kentucky and Texas A&M on the horizon. However, with the talent and experience they have on their roster, the Gators are poised to make a deep run in the conference and NCAA tournaments this season.
Fans can catch the Gators in action on Thursday as they take on Oklahoma in their SEC opener. The match will be broadcast on the SEC Network, and fans are encouraged to tune in to see the Gators begin their quest for another SEC title.
