Special report on the Florida Gators volleyball team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Find. A. Way. The mantra of the 2017 Florida volleyball team lives on, as the Gators erased a 19-12 deficit in a must-win fourth set, staved off a match point with three consecutive points, and climbed out of a 9-5 hole in the decisive fifth set to top 10th-seeded Southern California, 3-2, and clinch the eight NCAA Semifinals appearance in program history.
Florida is returning to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time since 2003, when it advanced to the NCAA Championship match. The Gators’ eight NCAA Semifinals appearances since 1991 are tied with USC for the fifth-most in the nation during that span.
