AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn continues its homestand on Wednesday, hosting No. 15 Florida inside Auburn Arena at 8 p.m. CT. The match will be aired on the SEC Network.

"If we can continue improving like we are in our serve-receive offense and find some ways to get some more transition kills, find ways defensively to stay within our defensive system throughout transition, we'll hopefully put a lot of pressure on (Florida)," head coach Rick Nold said.
