Florida received its NCAA championship rings Friday night at a celebration at the football stadium. The Gators won the 2015 national team title in April for the third-straight time.The last team to win three in a row was Georgia, who won five consecutive titles from 2005-2009 under legendary head coach Suzanne Yoculan.
Florida’s coach through the three titles, Rhonda Faehn, stepped down after the end of the season to pursue a position at USA Gymnastics. Auburn assistant coach Jenny Rowland took over as Gator head coach not too long after. Only time will tell whether the team can win a fourth title under new leadership and without heavily-relied-upon graduated seniors Kytra Hunter, Rachel Spicer and Kiersten Wang.
