A 6-0 run highlighted by a three-pointer from Jolene Armendariz brought the Gators within one possession in the second quarter but the Seawolves pulled away to go into halftime up 32-26. After neither scored for the first four and a half minutes of the third quarter, the Gators sent Chasity Spady to the line and she sank two.
