Thursday’s game continued that trend, asFlorida attempted 39 shots from the charity stripe and made 25, with eight different Gators findingtheir way to the line paced by Bonds, who converted 8-of-10.With Florida leading 57-55, Bonds was fouled with 57.8 seconds remaining, but came upwith blood on her arm and needed to be subbed out. Freshman January Miller came in a made thefirst and missed the second, but Moss grabbed her eighth rebound of the game and the Gatorsmaintained possession.Moss dished to Carlie Needles, who was immediately fouled. Needles converted one oftwo and Florida held a 60-55 lead with 51.8 seconds remaining. MSU missed its shot on its nextoffensive possession and Moss came away with the board, where she again found Needles, whohit one of two and the Gators held the 61-55 edge with 27 seconds left.The Bulldogs were able to get off just one shot in the final seconds that went awry.Florida committed 19 turnovers that MSU converted into 22 points, but held a commanding47-30 rebounding advantage in the game.McIntyre scored the first points of the second half and gave Florida a 32-25 lead and similarto the start of the game, the teams traded scores, with MSU within four points before the Gatorsscored four straight and took a 38-30 advantage.The Gators used their sixth different starting lineup of the year, having to replace JenniferGeorge, who suffered a shoulder injury against LSU on Sunday. George, UF’s leading scorer andrebounder, played a limited role on Thursday.Florida’s other post players rallied for George, who did play in spurts, as Lewis stepped upwith seven points and four rebounds in the first half, McIntyre added four points and Christin Mercerchipped in three points and two rebounds.Neither team shot the ball well to begin the game, as UF made just one of its first four, butbetter than MSU’s 1-of-6 effort. McIntyre, who got her second start of the year, scored the firstpoints of the game before Bonds added two free throws. The teams traded scores for the nextfew minutes when both teams continued to struggle with their respective shots. McIntyre’s secondbucket of the game sparked a 7-0 run, as Lewis scored five straight and UF held an early 14-5 lead.“I was really proud of the way Vicky played,” Butler praised. “She was a difference-makertonight. She knew she had to be and really stepped up and made the plays we expected her tomake. Those blocks were huge. Her rebounds were huge. It was a really, really good all-aroundgame for Mac and a great confidence builder for her going forward.”MSU came right back with a 13-3 march and tied the score at 18-all with 6:31 remaining.Mercer completed her fourth 3-point play of the year during the run, as the Bulldogs began to findtheir stroke.Game 18: #9 Tennessee vs Florida01/13/13 11:30 am ET at Gainesville, FL * O’Connell Center--------------------------------------------------------------------------------VISITORS: Tennessee 13-3, 4-0 SECTOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS## Player Name FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN12 Graves,Bashaara..... f 6-11 0-0 5-6 4 8 12 2 17 4 3 0 2 3813 Spani,Taber......... f 4-8 1-4 0-0 1 6 7 2 9 2 2 2 0 3620 Harrison,Isabelle... c 3-10 0-0 4-4 3 6 9 2 10 0 2 0 0 2505 Massengale,Ariel.... g 4-10 1-4 3-4 0 2 2 1 12 4 4 0 1 4210 Simmons,Meighan..... g 11-23 4-9 1-2 0 0 0 2 27 1 3 0 2 4402 Jones,Jasmine....... 0-7 0-0 1-2 1 1 2 3 1 0 0 0 0 1904 Williams,Kamiko..... 0-2 0-1 2-4 0 2 2 3 2 0 0 0 1 21TEAM................ 2 5 7Totals.............. 28-71 6-18 16-22 11 30 41 15 78 11 14 2 6 225TOTAL FG% 1st Half: 15-34 44.1% 2nd Half: 11-31 35.5% OT: 2-6 33.3% Game: 39.4% DEADB3-Pt.
