In her conference match play debut, Huber secured her second win of the day, 5&3 behind a par on the par3 15th, which gave Florida a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n Propeck followed Huber quicky and put the Gators up 2-0 with her 2&1 victory over No. 17 and the 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur Champion, Anna Davis.
