Gainesville, FL
Angie McGinnis tallied the third triple-double of her career & in UF history.
Junior
setter Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.)
notched the third triple-double in school history with 41 assists, 14 digs and
10 kills in leading No. 7 Florida to a 3-0 (30-16, 30-23, 30-12) sweep over
Georgia before a crowd of 2,002 Sunday afternoon at the Stephen C. O’Connell
Center.
"Today,
the Gators brought their 'A' game," UF head coach Mary Wise said. "The team really performed well in so many
different areas. The offensive had 62 kills in three games, as well as 62 digs.
The only stat from this hard-to-please coach that we didn't dominate was the
blocking, but there were so many other good things that happened. Angie
McGinnis had a triple-double in three games - that is special."
Florida
(18-2 overall, 11-1 Southeastern Conference) remained in sole possession of first
place in the SEC standings with the victory, which was the Gator's 10 consecutive
win, while improving to a perfect 42-0 all-time against Georgia in the Mary Wise era.
Florida
climbed to an early 4-1 game-one lead before Georgia came within one, 9-8, but Kristina Johnson (Indianapolis) and Stefanie Douglas (Belton, Texas) rattled off a
trio of kills to put the Gators ahead with a five-point advantage, 13-8.
Game two
began in the same fashion as the initial game as
The Gators dominated
in the third game and saved their largest margin of victory for the 30-12
finale. Florida scored eight of the first 10 points and then surged even
further ahead after a kill from Killingsworth gave
the Gators a 15-5 lead, and Georgia never came closer than 11 points the rest
of the way as Killingsworth closed out the match with
her final of a game-high six kills on .417 hitting.
McGinnis
tallied her second triple-double this season and the third of her career, but
Sunday's was her first in a three-game match.
Two other
Gators also collected double-doubles, with Hampton tallying a match-high 15
kills on .394 hitting in addition to digging 12 balls to record her 23rd
career double-double, while freshman libero Elyse Cusack (Melrose,
Fla.) led both teams with 17 digs to go along with a career-high 10 assists
for her first collegiate double-double. Killingsworth
added 14 kills, with six of those coming in the final game.
