The Gators showed improvement from their first road performance of the
season and did not count a fall toward their team total. A stronger
beginning helped the Gators Friday according to UF Head Coach Rhonda Faehn.

A Gator took at least a share of four of the evening’s five event titles, including freshman Ashanée Dickerson picking up her third consecutive all-around title with a total of 39.25. She is the first Gator to open the season with three consecutive all-around wins since former All-American Melissa Miller in 1988. Fellow freshman Marissa King was runner-up in the all-around at 39.075.
