NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For the last two seasons, it seems when Florida has needed a clinching victory in the Southeastern Conference Tournament, it looked to Spencer Liang. The Gator senior was again called upon to provide heroics during Friday's battle against No. 20 Mississippi State and Liang came through as she helped Florida earn a tough 4-2 victory in the quarterfinal round held at the Currey Tennis Center on the campus of Vanderbilt University.
Liang wasn't in Florida's original singles lineup on Friday, but after doubles play, UF head coach Roland Thornqvist made a change and inserted Liang at the number six position where she polished off the dual match with a 7-5, 6-1 victory in just under two hours.
