Preview: No. 2 Gator Gymnastics Host No. 7 LSU Tigers in an SEC Matchup

February 26, 2016

Florida Gymnastics (6-1, 4-1 SEC) will take on the LSU Tigers (8-2, 4-1 SEC) tonight in another top-10 match-up. The Gators hosted No. 5 UCLA on Jan. 12, another No. 5 Alabama on Jan. 29 and No. 9 Arkansas earlier this month.

The hosts are undefeated at home with three wins under their belt. The last two times these teams faced each other, the then No. 3 ranked Tigers came up with the win both times.

Both teams are fierce opponents with LSU posting the nation’s fourth-highest total of 2016 with their 197.825-197.125 win over No. 8 Auburn. Florida posted the nation’s fifth-highest total defeating Missouri with a 197.75-196.65 win last week.

Florida’s Alicia Boren will be one to watch tonight. The Freshman claimed her fourth SEC Freshman of the Week Honor on Tuesday.

The meet is set to start at 6:45 PM.
