No. 7 Florida lacrosse hits the road to take on Kennesaw State on Saturday. 

The Gators are fresh off a 19-8 win against Penn on Wednesday. The victory moved Florida’s record to 5-2 overall this season. 

A key to Florida’s success is its strong second halves. The Gators have held their opponents to fewer than five second-half goals in all but one game this season. Against Penn, the Gators outscored the Quakers 12-2 in the second half to secure the win. 

Florida is currently sitting in the top 25 for multiple stat lines. The Gators rank first in clearing the percentage (.984), as well as fourth in scoring offense (16.71) and 22nd in draw controls per game (14.86). 

Another critical component for Florida’s success is its willingness to take shots. The Gators are eighth in the nation for shots on goal per game (25.14), boasting an overall 11th-best shot percentage in the nation, notching a .504 clip. 

Leading the drive is sophomore Clark Hamilton, who recently joined the 100-point club after her second goal of five against Penn. She became the 27th Gator to achieve this milestone. 

Hamilton also boasts the eighth-best shooting percentage in the nation (.643). Joining her in the top 15 is fellow Gator Boo DeWitt, who holds the 13th spot at .625. 

Kennesaw State heads into the matchup fresh off a 15-9 win against La Salle on Wednesday. The Owls are on a four-game win streak and hold a 5-3 record. 

In their most recent matchup, the Gators defeated the Owls 18-5 in the 2025 season. Florida holds a decisive 30-1 all-time record against teams in the Atlantic Sun conference. 

The matchup is set for an 11 a.m. start.
