Georgia will put its unbeaten SEC record on the line this week when it welcomes top-ranked Florida to Stegeman Coliseum for a 4 p.m. meet on Saturday. This will serve as the annual Pink Out Meet for UGA. The Gym Dogs (5-4-1, 3-0-1 SEC) are coming off a 195.825-195.825 tie at Kentucky last weekend. Georgia led by .825 going to the final rotation, but had to count a fall on beam and the Wildcats rallied for the tie. Rogers competed in the all-around for the first time and tied for first on vault and bars.

This is the seventh time in the last eight dual meets between Georgia and Florida that one of the schools is ranked No. 1. The Gym Dogs were No. 1 in 2006 and 2009, while the Gators were No. 1 in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012. UGA came out on top in 2006, 2008 and 2009, Florida won in 2011 and 2012, and the teams tied in 2007.
