Auburn, Ala. – No. 8 Florida (4-1) defeated No. 23 Auburn, 215-84, on Saturday at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center.
The Gators came into the matchup off of a sound 176-74 victory over UNF on Wednesday, and with an eye on the SEC Championships next month, left Auburn with a dominant win.
UF won 15 of the 16 events over the Tigers and produced 22 B-cut performances, while also adding on an A-cut performance from senior diver, Ashley McCool.
