When Florida’s women’s basketball team faced Wake Forest in the second round of the West Palm Beach Invitational, its top-four scorers: guards Lavender Briggs, Kiara Smith and Kristina Moore as well as forward Zada Williams got plenty of buckets. And they scored at an efficient pace -- all four combined to shoot 57 percent from the field.
But it was not enough.
The Demon Deacons toppled the Gators 73-68 and sent Florida home. UF will not play until after Christmas on Dec. 29.
Wake Forest barely (7-4) squeaked out an edge by the time the first quarter buzzer sounded.
