OKLAHOMA CITY — Florida got everything right — except its championship celebration.
As the Gators reveled in their second straight national softball title following their 4-1 win over Michigan on Wednesday night, Lauren Haeger and coach Tim Walton participated in postgame interviews. Two players tried to douse them with Gatorade, but the bucket was too heavy. They ended up just getting Walton's ankles.
The resilient Gators even recovered from that. Well after the game ended, Florida's huddled in the circle, swayed back and forth in unison and sang, "We Are The Champions."
Haeger capped one of the most dominant careers in women's college softball by giving up just five hits and striking out five.
