Gators volleyball has canceled its final regular-season game against North Florida on Nov. 29.
“The University of Florida and the University of North Florida volleyball programs have mutually agreed that the match scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 29 inside the O’Dome will not be played,” a UF news release said Wednesday.
The announcement comes as Florida heads into the 2025 Allstate SEC Volleyball Tournament on Saturday at Enmarket Arena in Atlanta.
The match against North Florida was initially scheduled to take place after the conclusion of the SEC Tournament, which seems odd because the Ospreys are in a different conference than the Gators. The match will not be rescheduled and fans who purchased a single-game ticket will be refunded.
The Gators can now focus on their preparation for postseason play.
The Gators head into the SEC Tournament with momentum from a win against Ole Miss to conclude the regular season. The Gators sit at 14-10 overall and 9-6 in conference play.
At about 2 p.m. Saturday (SEC Network+), the Gators, who are seeded fifth and received a first-round bye, will play the winner of the Friday match between No. 12 Alabama and No. 13 South Carolina.
If the Gators can clinch a win Saturday, they would face No. 4 Tennessee in the quarterfinals on Sunday at 2 p.m.
