GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Kiki Smith scored 25 points, Nina Rickards added 16 and Florida stunned No. 7 Tennessee 84-59, giving the Gators their fifth victory in 59 meetings between the teams. It was Florida’s biggest win in the series. None of the previous four had been by more than nine points.

Alexus Dye led Tennessee with 10 points and six rebounds.
