Eddy Piñeiro kicked an 81 yard field goal with pads on: You likely remember him making a 77-yarder without pads before he became a Gator. Piñeiro bested that feat by four yards, and this time with pads, at practice. One of Florida’s most popular current players was 3-for-3 on field goals from 50-plus yards last season, and made 12 field goals of over 40 yards, more than any Gator in a season since 1996. (Ryan Cooper, NCAA.com; Talal Elmasry, SEC Country)

Florida, of course, is fresh off winning their own conference. These two teams met once already this season, the result of which was a 1-0 Gator walk-off win. (Herb Brooks, Florida Gators)
Kelly Barnhill named SEC Pitcher of the Week: Once again, for the fourth week in a row, Florida’s sensational sophomore takes the league’s honor. Her five SEC Pitcher of the Week honors so far this year are the most by a Gator in a single season. (Herb Brooks, Florida Gators)
