Florida’s women’s basketball team was engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Grambling State on Tuesday night.

After 18 lead changes and six ties, UF forward Zada Williams knocked down a jumper with 9:06 left in the fourth quarter to spark a 13-2 run.

That dominant stretch propelled the Gators to a 72-65 victory over Grambling State in the season opener at the Hobdy Assembly Center in Grambling, Louisiana.
