GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Gator women's basketball team remains at home this Sunday, Nov. 13, at 2 p.m. ET when visiting UNC Asheville comes to town for a nationally-televised contest.

Roy Philpott and Steffi Sorensen will have the call on SEC Network while Kyle Crooks and Brittany Davis will handle radio responsibilities on 98.1FM/850AM WRUF.

THE SERIES
The Gators and Bulldogs meet for the second time on Sunday afternoon, with UF holding a 1-0 advantage. The lone meeting came on Dec. 9, 2020 when the Gators won, 70-48.

LAST TIME OUT
The Gators used a 24-7 fourth quarter to earn an 83-55 victory over visiting Florida A&M. Four athletes scored in double-figures for UF, including a team-high 18 from Leilani Correa. Jordyn Merritt recorded her third career double-double with 15 points and 10 boards. UF broke the game open with a 20-0 run in the final frame.

WELCOME HOME
UNC Asheville assistant coach, Dyandria Anderson, is making her return to Gainesville after competing for the Gators from 2014-2018. While at Florida, Anderson appeared in 121 games, scoring in double-figures 25 times including a 29-point performance against Oklahoma on Dec. 3, 2017. During her senior season, she led the Orange & Blue with 29 steals and was second in assists with 93. Prior to her time at UNCA, she served as a graduate assistant at Clemson.

RATTLED THE RATTLERS
An emphasis for Florida under head coach Kelly Rae Finley, the defense against Florida A&M on Nov. 7 proved too much for the Rattlers to handle. The Gators forced FAMU into 28 turnovers during the game, resulting in 18 steals for the Orange & Blue. That effort marked the most steals for the Gators since Dec. 28, 2016 when they forced 19 against Southeastern Louisiana.

SPREADING THE WEALTH
Four Gators scored in double-figures during the home-opener, led by St. John's transfer Leilani Correa with 18. KK Deans, Ra Shaya Kyle and Jordyn Merritt all added 15 points, marking the first time since Nov. 11, 2016 that four Florida athletes have scored in double-figures in a home opener. Merritt also secured her third-career double-double by adding 10 rebounds. Ronni Williams, Eleanna Christinaki, Haley Lorenzen and Tyshara Fleming all scored 10 or more in an 85-33 win over South Alabama during the 2016 opener.

HOME, SWEET HOME
During 2021-22, Florida captured an impressive 10 home victories, the most since winning 13 in Gainesville during the 2015-16 season. It marked 19th time in UF history that the Orange & Blue have won 10 games in Gainesville.
