    I could not be more proud of this team, their effort, and the job done by the coaching staff.
    This season was a resounding success!
    It is Great to be a Florida Gator!

    Feel so bad for Keagen. He left her in for too long. She gave her everything but you had to chnage her at some point before the top of the lineup came up. 6th inning changed it. Couldn't let Parker get a hit there and did.

    Rothrock kept the game within striking distance. Most pitchers would have given up crooked numbers to Oklahoma in some of those innings given the pressure, the talent, and the home crowd.

    Our team definitely showed they belonged on the same field with Oklahoma. Just needed more pitching depth to truly challenge for the title.

    How much do we need to get Canady over to Gainesville? Would have pretty much walked into winning the WCWS with more pitching depth.

    Tough loss against a powerful team. Still, a great game and a great run by the Gators.

    We really need quality arms with some experience. Not sure Brown is going to be that reliable #2. Right now she gives up too many HRs. Miller might need to be the lefty, different look reliever. And I'm not sure what to make of the incoming FR yet. Need a top of the line Portal Pitcher this offseason.

    It is going to be ridiculous having the top 3 teams in the country in the SEC next season.

    Live by the homerun, die by the homerun. The difference is we couldn't string enough hits together to put runs on the board.----------Great season, lots to be proud of. Congrats Gators!

    Maxwell going to Norman really hurt last summer. I still think it is crap to transfer to a rival. Congrat's on a great season Gators! Really going to miss the seniors.

    I think Ava has the ability and work ethic to still be a great #2 or even co-#1 for us in the future. I just don’t think her stuff this year would have been very competitive against the monster lineups like Texas and OU.

    But lots of pitchers make big leaps from year to year. They improve their velocity and they “learn” to pitch in the offseason.

    I do think we need to try to get a veteran arm from the transfer portal this offseason just so the youngsters have an older mentor that can teach them the nuances of pitching (no offense to Wooten).

    Let's give Kudos to the Seniors first off ..
    They offered great leadership and it was obvious were respected. (Emily staying humble and apart of this team will live on for years. Jocelyn was just the best catcher in Softball this year!!)

    Our freshman pitcher was clearly not a freshman by mid season. So proud of her effort and maturity.
    Hopefully Ava continues to improve, Red might give us innings next year as a freshman as well.

    For me Skyler is obviously amazing and a great player. I'm personally going to miss Katy more. Her defense in RF was fantastic and she was just a solid player in many ways.

    Mia needs to make some adjustments and improve greatly in every facet. She can be the difference in many ways. She's a team player and hopefully she grinds this off-season to be the player she can be.

    Go Gators
