The Florida Gators women’s tennis team had lined up across nets with Vanderbilt twice already this season, each of those matchups ending in heartbreak for the Gators.
On Monday, with stakes greater than ever before, the Gators showed that their hearts were very much intact with what may be their finest hour ever.
After falling behind 2-1 to the Commodores and appearing very much in danger of taking a third loss, the Gators got a shot in the arm from upperclassman leaders and stormed back on three singles courts over one sensational stretch of play to prevail for a 4-2 triumph that sends Florida to a Tuesday match for a national championship.
