With the conference meet just under a month away, the Auburn swimming and diving teams went head-to-head with one of their fiercest competitors in Florida on Saturday morning in Gainesville, Fla. The result was a 154.5-145.5 win for the seventh-ranked men over the third-ranked Gators and a 192-108 loss for the ninth-ranked women.
“It’s a big win for us. It’s a statement win,” Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said. “We haven’t beaten Florida in five years. It feels good. It’s nice to get that swag back were the guys feel like the better team and race like they wanted to win.
