Quotes from Joe Frager on the Gator website:


About Katelyn Linney

“This is a quantum leap for her because she didn’t play a heck of a lot last year and to throw her into this environment on the road against an SEC school like that and for her to respond, I’m very proud of her effort today.”



About team’s performance

“We said we wanted to make them have to earn their points and we went through a couple of flurries there were we didn’t. They were able to get transition stuff and we turned it (the ball) over. When we were able to make them make them have to run their offense and when we were able to run our stuff, it was a good game but it wasn’t quite enough.”
