Florida softball continues fall play as it hosts Jacksonville University on Friday. The Gators are 3-0<\/a>, coming off a tight 4-3 win in five innings against UCF on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sophomore outfielder Taylor Shumaker led UF with 72 runs during the regular season last year. She hit a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning to give the Gators a 6-0 lead in their first match of the fall against Florida VIBE<\/a>. She also hit an RBI double in the bottom of the seventh, but struggled against UCF. She\u2019s the Gators\u2019 returning batting average leader<\/a>, hitting .389.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She has 72 runs and an 86 RBI. She has a total of 65 put outs and 6 assists. She was named NFCA Freshman of the Year in 2025.<\/p>\n

Sophomore pitcher Katelynn Oxley led Florida with a 2.58 ERA and an 8-5 record in 2025. She allowed only 64 hits and 36 runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Florida\u2019s pitching is deep. Junior Keagan Rothrock had a team-high nine completed games and a 16-7 record last season as the Gators\u2019 No. 1 starter. She allowed an average of 1.22 walks and hits per inning pitched. She led Florida in innings pitched with 131.2 and 105 strikeouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the other side, Jacksonville finished the 2025 season 23-27, despite starting 7-4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sophomore Alayna Gaddy led the Dolphins with seven home runs and a .930 OBS. Prior to attending Jacksonville, she won the Golden Glove Award.<\/p>\n

Junior Skylar Waggoner had a team-low 2.01 ERA and an 8-10 record, which was the sixth best single-season ERA in team history. She was named to the ASUN All-Freshman team in 2024.<\/p>\n

First pitch will be Sunday at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
