ORLANDO - The No. 2 Florida women's tennis team beat UCF, 7-0, in Gainesville on Wednesday as the Golden Knights hit the road for the first time this season.
The Gators (1-0) opened the evening by taking the first two doubles matches. Although the point was already decided, the UCF duo of junior Megan Hunter and sophomore Kyla McNicol fought UF's tandem of Lolita Frangulyan and Diana Srebrovic before losing 8-5.
