As senior forward Haley Lorenzen pulled down her final rebound Sunday afternoon against Ole Miss, there were no opponents around her. Her boxout created enough space to take one step to her right, elevate and bank home the eventual game-winning score with 27 seconds left on the clock.
The Florida women’s basketball team (10-10, 2-5 SEC) may need a similar run of play from Lorenzen when they take on No. 2 Mississippi State on Thursday night at 7 in Starkville.
As a result of her 11th double-double on the year and her lights-out fourth quarter (seven points, seven rebounds and two blocks), Lorenzen earned SEC Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career.
