FAYETTEVILLE — Chelsea Dungee poured in a team-high 33 points, but she came up with a big defensive play late, too, helping No. 17 Arkansas hold on for an 84-80 SEC victory over Florida on Thursday night in Walton Arena.
With the Razorbacks leading 80-74, Dungee poked the ball away from Florida’s Lavender Briggs then drew a foul with 17 seconds left. The 5-11 senior then walked to the other end and made both free throws to push the lead to eight and finally put the game away.
Dungee and Amber Ramirez double-teamed Briggs, who finished with a game-high 41 points, just like they wanted, Arkansas Coach Mike Neighbors said.
