No. 15 Florida Volleyball Receives 22nd Consecutive NCAA Tournament Berth

The No. 15 Florida volleyball team learned its postseason fate on Sunday evening, as the Gators are among the NCAA Tournament field of 64 for the 22nd consecutive season and the 23rd time in program history.
  
The Gators, who earned the tournament’s 14th seed, begin their title quest on Friday in Gainesville, playing host to Conference USA champion Tulsa at 7:30 p.m. ET in the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. Southern Conference champion College of Charleston and ACC runner-up Miami (FL) will square off in the first match of the day at 5 p.m. ET Friday. The second-round contest will be played Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

This will be the first-ever meeting between Tulsa and Florida, and the Gators have only faced one of the teams in the Gainesville Sub-Regional in program history, having defeated the College of Charleston in the NCAA Tournament in both 2007 and 2009.
