Florida State 81, Florida 75
What happened: Gators sophomore guard Nina Rickards had a dazzling performance by having a new career best with 18 points, however the Gators couldn't overcome the long and physical Seminoles who won the rebounding battle 52-24.

Streaky shooting and points from FSU turnovers kept the Gators in the game all night long, but the ball wouldn't bounce Florida's way in the pivotal moments.
