It’s business as usual for the Florida Gators softball team as it prepares for 2017 post-season play. For the third consecutive year and the fifth time in history, the Gators are the No. 1 overall seed in the national tournament, a feat no team but Florida has ever accomplished more than once.
“There’s a lot to be said about doing something like that,” said head coach Tim Walton. “That tells you a lot about your whole body of work. That tells you about what you did all season long from February all the way until May. I don’t know that it’s helped us in some of the seeding process, but I do know that you can’t take that stuff away from our team … We’re the University of Florida for a reason and being number one is pretty cool.
