2020 Perfect Game All-American & Florida signee 3B Coby Mayo:
"I think this weekend was very big for the Gators because it gets the year off to a great start. Also, a lot of freshmen got opportunities and came through, which gives them leverage.”
2020 JUCO signee RHP Franco Aleman:
"Florida’s bullpen is super deep and talented; (it's) probably the best pen in the country. Defense was on lock and everyone in the lineup had really good at bats.
"Just like every great team, they have guys that step up when needed and come through for the team in tough situations.”

“It was awesome to watch! When you look at the dominance we have in the state of Florida, it’s a pretty cool thing to see.”

“It’s a huge series to win and I think it will give Florida a confidence gain going into the rest of the season.”
