The Florida Gators aren’t done, yet. Cameron Newbauer’s squad learned their postseason fate on Monday, accepting an berth to the WNIT. The team will play a minimum of two games in Charlotte.
Florida will make its first appearance in the postseason since 2015-16 and their first WNIT bid since 2013, when the Gators advanced to the national semifinals.
Florida will face Charlotte, who finished the year with a 10-10 record. The two programs have met eight times previously, with the most recent meeting being in the 2013 WNIT (Florida won 67-65). The Gators will then face either Massachusetts or Villanova for the second game (second round or consolation bracket).
The Gators completed the season 11-13 overall and will be without All-SEC guard Lavender Briggs, who suffered a foot injury in February.
Kiki Smith has guided the Gators in Briggs’ absence. The senior scored a career-high 36 to keep Florida close with Kentucky in the SEC Tournament. However, the Gators fell just short.
