Gators Breeze Past Summitt’s Vols

Posted by admin on February 9th, 2009   1 Comment

Florida’s senior guard Sha Brooks came two points shy from her career 31 points but still led the Gators past the talented Vols (17-6, 6-3).

I can not explain how big of a win this was for the lady Gators. One, Pat Summitt has a great talented ball club and the victory was not a cake walk for Florida. And secondly, this win holds the Gators at the top of the SEC standings.

Florida (18-2, 8-1) found there selves down by seven late in the second half but then decided to turn their game up and start playing the way coach Butler taught them to. Sha Brooks stepped up and made a couple big time three’s late in the game to help the Gators creep up from behind. Brooks defensive effort was amazing tonight after taking a charge that gave Florida the possession which turned into a 12-2 run.

Junior Steffi Sorensen knocked down a big three to put Florida up by 5 with just over 2 minutes remaining in the contest. Brooks overall performance was incredible. Sha played 38 out of a total 40 minutes of the game scoring 29 points and collecting seven rebounds. Other than the great defense Florida played, I think the 8,060 fans in O’Connell Center got these players fired up and hungry for a win.

Tennessee was led by Angie Bjorklund with 16 points.

Florida will be back in action next Thursday for another SEC match up against Vanderbilt. Tip off will be held at 7pm.
