The Florida Gators softball season gets underway on Friday when the Gators make their annual appearance in the USF tournament in Tampa to open the season.
When fans tune in to watch the Gators this year, it will be a different looking team from what you’ve been accustomed to seeing the last fours year from Florida.
Gone are five of the most successful Gators softball players in Florida’s rich softball history to graduation. Losing those five seniors is something that head coach Tim Walton and his staff are still trying to coup with.
“I spoke last week to our Gator Diamond Club and I told them that when I look out on the field I’m missing the likes Aubree Munro, Kelsey Stewart, Taylor Schwarz, Taylor Fuller and Kirsti Merritt,” Walton said on the Gators losing five seniors from last year.
