Alabama was three outs away from picking up a top-10 road series win at Florida over the weekend, but the Crimson Tide gave up a one-run lead in the seventh inning of Game 3 to lose to the Gators.

Despite the series loss, Alabama moved up two spots in the USA Softball Collegiate Top-25 Poll to No. 15 in this week's rankings. The Tide once again showed it can beat and compete with any team in the country, it just has to find ways to close out games.

The SEC continues to dominate in the polls with 12 teams ranked overall and nine of the top 15. Alabama currently has wins over No. 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 17, 22 and 24.

Alabama is up to No. 13 in the RPI, and is in a really good position to host regionals with seven regular season games left (Tuesday night at Alabama State, three game home series with Missouri and three game road series at No. 11 South Carolina.
