GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Bethune-Cookman's MEAC championship season ended Friday as No. 5 seed Florida advanced to the NCAA Second Round with a 5-0 win over the Lady Wildcats at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex.

The Gators (22-3) advance to face No. 24 Georgia Tech at 1 p.m. Saturday

B-CU ends the season 22-7.

"I thought (B-CU) did really well,'' Florida coach Roland Thornqvist said. "They have good players up and down the lineup, which was really good for us. We were tested. In doubles we had to coach to finish, and that's exactly what we needed. It was a great contest from first match in doubles to last match in singles."

B-CU coach Tim Pleasant was impressed with the Gators.

"It was great seeing that type of talent all through their positions," Pleasant said. "Not only are they great tennis players, they are really excellent athletes. It was nice to see them represent the school and see what a nationally top-five team looks like.

"From here, hopefully (we) just keep building confidence. Our goal is always to compete well in our conference, but outside of conference, we're trying to get recognized in Florida as a competitive team. Florida itself is a tennis hub in the nation. We'd like to be in the conversation as a solid team. Just because we're a small school, we're across the board a really good athletic program."

Florida improves to 4-0 all-time against B-CU, with all four meetings occurring as part of the NCAA Championship.
