UF volleyball earns 5-set win

All five Florida hitters were in the double digits on Friday evening, as Florida battled back from a first set defeat to overtake host Arkansas in five, 3-2 (23-25, 25-22, 25-22, 19-25, 15-13.)
“Winning in Barnhill against a veteran Arkansas team was huge for us,” Florida head coach Mary Wise said. “For us to grind it out, I just can’t say enough about our players’ work ethic.”
Three Gators led the way in kills, as junior Chloe Mann, freshman Ziva Recek and senior Tangerine Wiggs each tallied 13 kills, with Wiggs producing a match-high .500 offensive clip to lead all hitters.
Senior Betsy Smith had her best match of the year with a career-high 12 kills
