Led by 11 points apiece from seniors January Miller and Cassie Peoples, 10 from sophomore Haley Lorenzen and eight apiece from juniors Ronni Williams and Simone Westbrook, Florida finished the regular season with a come-from-behind, 56-49 Senior Day win over Auburn before an O'Connell Center crowd of 4,019 Sunday.
It was the largest crowd to see a UF women's game since Jan. 24, 2010, when the Gators drew 4,103 to watch Florida battle Tennessee.
“It was just absolutely a representation of the way that this team has played all season long,” UF coach Amanda Butler said. “That is for each other, for the right reasons, and fired up to represent the University of Florida with a really, really keen sense of what they were playing for and what every possession meant.
“I think our seniors absolutely got what they deserved. It's exciting to go into the (SEC) Tournament with that type of momentum and an extra day of rest, and it's just a big, big step for our program.”
After opening the game with a 16-10 lead after the first quarter, UF (22-7, 10-6 SEC) managed just eight points in the second period in falling behind 26-24 at the half.
After each team scored 12 points in the third period, the Tigers (18-11, 8-8) still held a slim 38-36 lead, but UF refused to fold.
The gymnastics team had almost 7,200 fans I believe.. and had close to 9,000 when they played Bama earlier this year?

Thanks for the post, not sure why the women are not drawing better, they have been exciting to watch.
