GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The ninth-ranked Florida lacrosse team (3-2, 0-0 Big 12) returns home to host the No. 15 Loyola Greyhounds (4-2, 1-0 Patriot) on Saturday at 12 p.m. First draw coverage can be found on ESPN+.

The Gators are coming off a 17-16 loss against James Madison, last Saturday in Charlotte. UF trailed by as many as eight goals and nearly overcame a seven goal fourth quarter defecit, outscoring the Dukes 6-1 in the fourth quarter.

Frannie Hahn Hero Ball

Florida was led by redshirt freshman Frannie Hahn, who logged a career day with seven goals and three assists. Hahn became the sixth Gator to record 10 or more points in a game and the first to do it since Brianna Harris totaled 10 points on May 8, 2021 against Temple. Hahn’s seven goals and 10 points both tied freshman program records, with the 10 points by a freshman last done on March 17, 2010 by Ashley Bruns.

Hahn leads the team in points (22) and assists, along with her 11 goals. She has recorded two or more points in all five games this season, including three or more in four games.

This is the 12th career meeting between these two programs, with UF leading the all-time series against the Greyhounds 7-4.
