Senior Jennifer George notched her fifth double-double of the
year, freshman Sydney Moss flirted with a double-double and the Florida
women’s basketball team capped its non-conference slate with an 81-50
victory over Holy Cross on Friday evening in the O’Connell Center.
The win was the sixth straight for the Gators (11-3), who earned
their 14th consecutive home victory, as well as their 15th straight at
home against non-conference opponents.
It was a tight game for the first 13 minutes when the Crusaders (5-6) cut Florida’s lead to two points with seven minutes left in the first half.
That’s when the Gators outscored Holy Cross 38-13 over the next 18 minutes and took a commanding 64-37 lead with 9:06 remaining in the game.
All nine Gators who dressed out for the game scored during that game-changing stretch paced by George, who scored 13 of her game-high 21 points during the span, including Florida’s first six points of the second half when the Gators outscored Holy Cross, 44-23, hit 51.4 percent of their shots and out-rebounded their guests by 18.
