Last Time Out

After being swept in the series opener, Arkansas gave Florida its best effort last weekend in Sunday’s match. The Hogs won the first set, and the Gators took the next two, but the visitors answered with a 25-20 victory and forced a fifth. The comeback fell short, though, and Florida claimed the match in five. Graduate middle blocker Tatum Shipes paced both the offense and defense for Arkansas on the day with a double-double. She had a season high 11 kills and led the team in blocks with 11, which included two solo stuffs. Arkansas had 13 total blocks as a team, its 10th double-digit blocking performance of the season.
