Tuesday’s match brought the Gator’s record to 1-3.

The fans of the Blue Gators volleyball team made their  presence known. The Super Fans, a.k.a. The Blew Crew, came out to support the team, dressed in new, signature T-shirts. They led the crowd in cheers, songs, and noise-making.

Many fans and players think that the team looks promising and have hopes for a championship.
