Florida squeaks past Davidson for ninth win of the season

The charity stripe has not been kind to the Florida women’s basketball team throughout the first half of the regular season.

UF had only converted on 55.4 percent of its free-throw attempts and averaged 7.7 free-throw makes per game heading into Sunday afternoon’s clash with Davidson.

Despite going just 9 of 20 from the free-throw line against the Wildcats, the Gators drilled four of them in the last 30 seconds to come away with a 55-50 victory at the O’Connell Center.

Guard Ariel Johnson led Florida with a career-high 16 points off the bench on 6-of-11 shooting from the field, including a 3-of-7 showing from behind the arc.
