Florida volleyball clinched a share of the 2026 Southeastern Conference regular season title on Sunday with a 3-1 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs (25-22, 22-25, 25-16, 25-19).
The fourth-ranked Gators (21-2, 12-1 SEC) earned the program's SEC-leading 26th volleyball title and first since 2022, and in doing so, also earned the school's first conference title of the 2026-27 season while securing an SEC title for the 49th consecutive season in any sport — the longest streak among all member institutions.
Kamryn Chaney and Logan King paced the offense with 16 kills and 15 kills, while Taylor Parks directed it with 47 assists, guiding the Gators to a .333 hitting percentage. Alec Rothe and Brooklyn Briscoe added nine and eight kills, respectively,
as UF tallied more kills (63-50) and assists (59-46) than the Bulldogs (15-8, 7-6 SEC) while also outhitting UGA, .333-.179.
Defensively, King led the way with 13 digs and six blocks, giving the third-year her fourth double-double of the season. Parks also ended with a double-double, notching 12 digs alongside her 47 assists for her eighth of the year. Lily Hayes and Selena Leban contributed 13 and 12 digs, respectively. Briscoe posted six blocks, Rothe five and Parks four, helping the Orange and Blue to a 13-5 advantage at the net. The Gators also held a 75-57 edge in digs over the Bulldogs.
Georgia (15-8, 7-6 SEC) was led by Bianna Muoneke with 20 kills and 10 digs. Chloe Elarton led the back row with 18 digs.
Florida can claim the outright regular-season title Friday, Nov. 13, when the team travels to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville for the penultimate match of the 2026 regular-season schedule. The action begins at 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the SEC Network+.
