UF Volleyball chosen to 21st straight NCAA tourney

The No. 17 Florida volleyball team learned its postseason fate on Sunday evening, as the Gators will travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa to face future SEC opponent Missouri in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, hosted by No. 6 seed University of Northern Iowa. This is Florida's 21st consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and the Gators' 22nd overall NCAA Tournament bid.

The Gators, who will enter the NCAA Tournament unseeded for the second time in program history, will face the Tigers at 6 p.m. on Friday. This will be the first-ever meeting between the future SEC opponents and only the second time in program history that the Gators will travel for the first and second rounds.
