The Florida Gators women’s basketball team has suffered an incomparable setback. 10 games into the 2016-17 college basketball season, Florida has lost its leading scorer over a first-half suspension.
According to a report via ESPN, sophomore star Eleanna Christinaki left the team after agreeing with head coach Amanda Butler on a disciplinary issue.
Christinaki was the Gators’ leading scorer with an average of 17.6 points per game. She’d helped Florida achieve a Top 25 ranking and was well on her way to following a standout 2015-16 campaign with another big season.
Freshman Delicia Washington accepted her suspension against North Carolina A&T, but Christinaki wasn’t as willing to do so.
