The Florida lacrosse team will begin the 2021 season ranked No. 8 in the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association poll, as announced on Monday.
The 2021 season marks the 11th time the Gators have been ranked in the IWLCA poll.
Last week, Florida checked in at No. 7 in both the Inside Lacrosse Preseason Poll and the Nike/US Lacrosse Division I Women's Preseason Top-20 poll.
The Gators are set to face two ranked opponents during the 2021 campaign. Florida takes on top-ranked North Carolina on Friday, Feb. 19 in Chapel Hill, N.C., then takes on the fourth-ranked Loyola Greyhounds on Feb. 28 in Baltimore, Md.
Earlier today, four Gators earned Inside Lacrosse Division I Preseason All-American accolades. Cara Trombetta was tabbed to the First Team, Shannon Kavanagh earned Second Team honors, while Brianna Harris and Sarah Reznick each earned a spot on the Honorable Mention squad.
Florida is coming off a 6-2 season in 2020 after the campaign was cut short due to COVID-19. The squad finished ranked eighth in the nation according to the IWLCA poll and knocked off two Top-3 teams in Maryland and Stony Brook.
