After two road matches, the No. 24 Florida Gators return home to host Tennessee in the Gators Dig Pink match on Friday.
They took down Texas A&M in straight sets (25-21, 25-20, 25-20) on Oct. 18, before defeating LSU 3-0 (25-10, 25-18, 25-17) on Oct. 20. Florida averaged a .126 opponent hitting percentage, holding the Aggies to a .137 hitting clip and the Tigers to .111.
The Lady Vols are currently tie for sixth in conference play with a 3-4 record after winning big against then-No. 25 Auburn in four sets on Sunday. Tennessee's .289 hitting percentage ranks third in the SEC, with junior middle blocker Keondreya Granberry leading the conference in hitting percentage with a .479 clip.
So with that being said, something will give on Friday.
