UCF coming off a 2 out of 3 games won in their series against top 10 Arizona. So should be a good game!
Would be nice if Rothrock is cleared and can throw a couple innings to knock the rust off before Texas comes to town.
UCF is 19-8-1, with wins over Cal State Bakersfield, NC State, Illinois (2), James Madison, Missouri, Clemson, Quinnipiac, Pitt, FGCU (2), Columbia, FAU, George Mason, Providence (2), UNF and Arizona (2), a tie to Ohio State and Losses to Georgia, Liberty, Texas A&M, Auburn, FSU, Ohio State, Georgia Southern and Arizona. Their RPI ranking is #20, SOS #9, ELO #36. They are a very good team who has played a tough schedule to date.
They did for a couple of polls: Softball America - 25 D1 Softball - 21 ESPN- Highest RV NFCA - Not updated at this moment Regardless, this is gonna be a great game for our RPI and a good test before Texas.
Florida is #3 in the nation in Team BA at .387. UCF is #119 at .287. Florida is #3 in Team ERA at 1.65. UCF is #43 at 2.60 Florida is #35 in Fielding % at .973. UCF is #166 at .957. Big discrepancies all 3 primary team categories.
