Eleanna Christinaki is used to leading the Florida women's basketball team.
As a freshman last season, she was the team’s second-best scorer.
That trend continued in career-defining fashion Monday night.
Playing 36 minutes, Christinaki registered a career-high 29 points and nine rebounds in No. 19 Florida’s 72-61 victory over Tennessee Chattanooga.
“This is an NCAA Tournament game,” head coach Amanda Butler said, “and to beat an NCAA Tournament team on their home floor this early in the season … is a great indication that our team is growing in every single practice.”
Florida (2-0) wrestled control from the Mocs (1-1) early, largely thanks to the play of Christinaki.
