Posted on April 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

A 4-point effort from Gabi Wiegand (Bay Shore, N.Y.) and a stellar performance by the Gator defense led the Florida lacrosse team past the undefeated, top-ranked Northwestern Wildcats, 8-7, to capture the Gators’ second-straight American Lacrosse Conference regular-season title. “It’s amazing,” said standout defender Sam Farrell (Rockville, Md.) “Words can’t even describe how we’re all feeling right now. We’ve worked so hard for this. They’re undefeated, they haven’t had a loss on their home field in years, so it just feels amazing.” The No. 5 Gators took on the unanimously top-ranked ‘Cats in their first-ever matchup with a No. 1 team and pulled out the upset over an undefeated Northwestern squad for the second year in a row. With the win, the Gators finish the regular season with a 15-2 overall record and their second-straight 5-0 ALC campaign. Northwestern takes its first loss in 24 games, dropping to 14-1 (4-1 ALC).

NCAA Lacrosse: #5 Florida Women’s Lacrosse Faces England National Team Feb 26

Posted on January 26, 2012 | Leave a comment

The No. 5 Florida lacrosse team hits the field for the first time in 2012 Thursday evening to host the England National Team in an exhibition game at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. Opening draw is set for 6:30 p.m.

Florida finished the 2011 season with a 16-4 overall record, including going a perfect 5-0 in American Lacrosse Conference play to take the conference title away from Northwestern for the first time since 2004. Florida became the fastest program in poll history to enter the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) top 10, and on April 25, 2011, became the highest-ranked second-year program ever, earning the No. 2 spot.

After reaching their first ALC Championship game, (L, 10-9 to Northwestern), the Gators earned their first-ever NCAA Tournament bid, receiving the fourth overall seed. On May 14, UF hosted No. 7 Stanford in the first NCAA lacrosse tournament game ever to be held in the state of Florida, and picked up their first NCAA victory, 13-11. The Gators’ impressive season finally came to an end the following week, as they fell, 13-9, to No. 5 Duke in the Quarterfinals. Florida finished the year ranked No. 5 in the IWLCA final poll.

The Gators return 17 players from their record-breaking 2011 season, including 11 starters, while bringing in the No. 3 recruiting class in the nation, according to Inside Lacrosse magazine. Four new Gators were named to IL’s top-25 list; No. 6 Shannon Gilroy (Huntington, N.Y.), No. 12 Nicole Graziano (Mendham, N.J.), No. 15 Nora Barry (Marcellus, N.Y.) and No. 18 Sally Jentis (Ridgewood, N.J.); all of whom are expected to see significant playing time in 2012. Additionally, Taylor McCord (Jacksonville, Fla.) was named to the Freshman Watch List. The Gators also welcome freshmen Mikki Offit (Bethesda, Md.) and Maegan Meritz (Farmingdale, N.Y.), along with junior attacker Gabi Wiegand (Bay Shore, N.Y.), a transfer from the University of Richmond.

NCAA Lacrosse: Florida Women’s Lacrosse Looks To “Elevate” Phenominal Success In Third Year

Posted on January 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

The University of Florida lacrosse team returns to action on Jan. 26 with the goal of elevating the young program to yet a higher level. The Gators are coming off a phenomenal sophomore season, where they rose from a young squad with untapped potential to one of the nation’s elite in just one year.

In 2011, Florida became the fastest program in poll history to enter the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) top 10, and on April 25, 2011, became the highest-ranked second-year program ever at No. 2. The Gators achieved such a high ranking after knocking off then-No. 2 Northwestern on April 14, securing Florida at least a share of the American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) regular-season title and handing the Wildcats their first ALC regular-season loss since 2004. UF then went on to defeat No. 17 Vanderbilt, 8-7, on April 17 to finish a perfect 5-0 in conference play and capture its first ALC regular-season title.

After reaching their first ever ALC Championship game, (L, 10-9 to Northwestern), the Gators earned their first ever NCAA Tournament bid, and on May 14, hosted No. 7 Stanford in the first ever NCAA Tournament game to be held in the state of Florida. UF rolled past the Cardinal, 13-11, before the epic 2011 season finally came to a close with a 13-9 loss to No. 5 Duke. Florida finished the year ranked No. 5 in the IWLCA Final Poll.

The Gators hope to continue their success in 2012, as they return All-Americans Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.), Sam Farrell (Millersville, Md.) and Ashley Bruns (Ellicott City, Md.), along with 2011 Second-Team All-ALC selections Haydon Judge (Chestertown, Md.) and Mikey Meagher (Liverpool, N.Y.). Additionally, 2011 ALC Coach of the Year Amanda O’Leary returns for her third season at the helm of the Florida lacrosse team, assisted by U.S. National Team members Erica LaGrow and Caitlyn McFadden.
