Fitzgerald’s career night leads to Owls’ win

Junior guard Feyonda Fitzgerald kept shooting.

After missing two of her three shots in the first quarter, Fitzgerald scored 32 points in 37 minutes to lead the Owls to a 97-91 win against the University of Florida at the Liacouras Center Friday night.

“At first, I wasn’t even making those shots, but coach Way [Veney] and coach Cardoza just kept telling me to keep shooting and that they would eventually fall,” Fitzgerald said. “Normally, I see myself not making shots and I get down on myself, and I just stop shooting, but I just did it for my team.
