GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jennifer George finished with 15 points to pace Florida, and the Gators used an 8-3 run in the game’s final 2:47 to upset No. 18 Georgia 61-57 on Sunday.

Lanita Bartley added 11 points and Andrea Vilaro Aragones had 10 for the Gators (17-10, 7-7 Southeastern Conference), who snapped a two-game skid against ranked teams.

It was Bartley who finished it off for Florida, sinking both her foul shots with 1 second left for the final margin. That capped the late Gators’ spree, which opened with a jumper from George. The Lady Bulldogs missed three shots and turned the ball over once during the Gators’ game-winning run.

The Gators won the battle of the boards 42-32.

Florida avenged a 61-55 loss at Georgia on Jan. 12.

Jasmine James had 15 points to lead the Lady Bulldogs (20-7, 9-5), who had won four consecutive contests coming in.
