SEC action begins this weekend as No. 4 Florida is at No. 18 Auburn Friday for a dual meet.

Last Saturday in Gators’ Season Opener:
Florida used the smallest margin possible – 0.025 – to take a 196.65-196.625 win Saturday at then No. 4 UCLA. Florida has a miss on vault, beam and floor, but those marks were not used toward the final team total. Senior Mackenzie Caquatto anchored the Gators’ beam set with a 9.875 to give Florida just enough to hand the Bruins’ their first loss ever in a home opener. Junior All-American Kytra Hunter won floor (9.925) and all-around (39.375) and sophomore Bridgette Caquatto claimed a share of the uneven bars title (9.90) for the first event win of her Gator career. Hunter won the all-around (39.375) and floor exercise (9.925) titles Saturday.

Last Year:
Florida and Auburn last met in regular-season action for the 2013 Gators Link to Pink meet, with the Gators’ posting the then-nation’s leading team total of 197.65 to take the win over then No. 18 Auburn (196.025) in front of the program’s sixth-largest crowd of 8,159. Hunter won her second all-around of the season at 39.70. She also claimed the vault (9.975), balance beam (9.90) and floor exercise (9.925) event titles.

The two programs met a total of three times in 2013, with Florida winning its second consecutive SEC title (198.00) and Auburn finished fifth (196.55). Auburn returned to Gainesville in April for 2013 NCAA Regional action. Florida claimed its eighth regional team title of the last nine seasons at 198.40 and Auburn was third (196.70).

The Tigers in Season Opener:
Auburn posted its best opening score since 2010 to defeat Texas Woman's University 194.875-189.825 in the Tigers' season opener last Friday in front of 5,032 at the Auburn Arena. Sophomore Caitlin Atkinson won the all-around at 39.20 and junior Bri Guy turned in the top individual mark of the evening with her winning vault mark of 9.90. Atkinson also won bars (9.825), Megan Walker took the beam win (9.875) and four Tigers shared the floor win at 9.875.
