WASHINGTON, D.C. – For the second straight year, the University of Florida won the BIG EAST Women’s Lacrosse Championship, presented by the Jeep Brand, as the top-seeded Gators defeated third-seeded Temple, 16-4, Saturday at Georgetown’s Cooper Field. Led by the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player senior midfielder Nicole Graziano, Florida clinched a spot in the 2016 NCAA Championship with the selection show scheduled for Sunday at 9 p.m. (ET) on NCAA.com.
