Thursday, November 12, 2026 | Women's Basketball

Florida had two shots to take the lead, and another to tie with three seconds remaining, but none of the attempts found the bottom of the net, and the Bulls escaped with a 72-70 victory. It was the first loss of the season for the Gators who fell to 3-1, while South Florida improved to 3-1.

Through the first three quarters, Florida struggled to find an answer to the Bulls' efforts in the post, as South Florida outscored the Gators 42-18 in the paint and owned a 33-17 rebound advantage.

Stefanie Ingram scored 23 points for South Florida through three quarters en route to a 25-point, 10-rebound double-double.
