I'm cautiously predicting..a USC vs UCLA NCAA final

[fantic]

from Duke website;

"The win was the Blue Devils fifth win in program history against the Gators dating back to their first meeting in 1977, and was the first time in program history that Duke has swept Florida."

Morgan now playing at #4.
But the order doesn't matter, matchup does;

so Price vs Collins is a proper matchup imo

And UNC still not showing their full strength; Price is not playing dbls.

[fantic]

Lauren might feel some pressure.

At #122 she's ahead of #31 Price and #90 Dai in sgls position.

And UF cruelly? matches her against Brianna Morgan, so this is a MUST win for her

But Morgan is in fact quite an aggressive and flat hitter, so...
we'll see?

[fantic]

I wonder if Embree/Oyen combo will continue to play...they could go far in NCAA dbls tournament imo.

This might be a stressful matchup for Whitney, too.

Why, UF's lineup today is as creative as it gets..psychological warfare

UF is obviously aiming for a 4-0 sweep today, imo

Florida playing its 2nd 2-hour doubles point in as many days.

Suddenly no-ad scoring for doubles is not looking like such a bad idea...

"MONDAY FEBRUARY 18, 2013
USTA Launches COLLEGE MATCHDAY Series to Highlight College Tennis
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.
Florida vs. Stanford will Kick Off the USTA Series on February 24 at 11 am
Print

The USTA today announced that it will spotlight men’s and women’s college tennis with its new “College MatchDay” series beginning this season and the first College MatchDay will feature the University of Florida women hosting Stanford University on Sunday, Feb. 24, in Gainesville, Fla.

The match is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET at Linder Stadium at the Ring Tennis Complex, where admission to all regular-season matches is free.

The USTA is giving out hats to the first 200 kids in attendance, while the UAA will be providing free “BEAT STANFORD” t-shirts to the first 500 fans. Prior to the match, kids can participate in the Kid’s Korner for poster making, coloring, meet Alberta and receive Gator head tattoos from the Dazzlers. There also will be a post-match meet and greet with the Gator team."



Kids should pray that UF wins, otherwise the 'meet and greet' might not be so..congenial

2-2 now. 3rd sets at 1-3 singles to decide it

[CTSEMT]

Embree & Oyen give UF the 4-2 win. Next rankings should be quite interesting.
