Tallahassee, Fla. - In-state rivals face off this Saturday, February 17 as the No. 12 Florida State Seminoles men's tennis squad hosts the No. 8 Florida Gators. Match time is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. The two teams last met in the Elite Eight of the 2005 NCAA Championship as the No.3 Gators ended the No. 18 Seminoles Cinderella-run in the tournament with the 4-0 victory on May 22, 2005.
