Samantha Harrison / Alligator StaffTo say that Florida’s women’s basketball team struggled on the road last season is an understatement.
It dropped 13 consecutive games away from home before taking down Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee, in the final week of the 2018-19 campaign.
But this year’s team wasted no time earning its first road victory, as the Gators defeated Grambling State 72-65 on Tuesday at the Hobdy Assembly Center in Grambling, Louisiana.
“I think it gives our kids a lot of confidence in knowing that we can go on the road early and stick together and grit out a tough win,” coach Cam Newbauer said.
