“First, while this was not the result we wanted today I am so proud of this team. I have to congratulate Florida on an outstanding performance. We knew this was going to be a tough matchup and a tough game. It was not our best performance for sure, but Florida has a way of doing that to teams. Our fans were great today and the alumnae support behind us is truly special.
