Florida beat Auburn after double overtime with penalty kicks. Florida played with a lot of energy and more offensive activity than regular season. They have a lot of seniors who are experienced in tournament play and they must win the SEC tournament to get to the NCAA so they will be a tough out. They have experienced talent and are desperate to win.

Hard to believe Florida was such a high seed

Florida was a top 10 pre-season team that finished 8 or 9 where we were predicted in SEC preseason. They have a superb goalie and a bunch of seasoned highly recruited players. We did and can beat them, but it will be a tough match. Good that they had to go to double overtime.

down 0-1 at the half - Florida gets early goal and we seem a bit tentative: perhaps overwhelmed finding ourselves top seeds against a very talented and older, experienced Florida. We can still win this match, but will have to play better than we did in the first half.

We had several great opportunities - but couldn't capitalize. I kept waiting for UF to tire in the second half, but it never happened. UF's conference record was definitely not indicative of their talent level. Florida's experience seemed to be the difference tonight.

LSU wins 4-1 in kicks after 2 overtimes - so none of the high seeds (1-4) survived and a first day play-in team, LSU wins the tournament. Quite a story. Congratulations to the tigers. Now on to the NCAA - go Dores.
