Gator senior forward Sharielle Smith turned in her fourth career double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, but the Gators fell just short in the final seconds of upsetting #15 Florida State, falling 66-62 in the O’Connell Center Tuesday night.

Florida (1-1), which trailed 60-56 with 7:16 to play, got back-to-back
3-pointers by Smith to go up 62-60 with 2:04 remaining, however, those were the last points the Gators would score. FSU cut within one, 62-61, after a free throw by Jacinta Monroe. Alexia Deluzio drained a floater from the right wing with 37.4 seconds left to put the Seminoles up 63-62 and the Gators were unable to convert on their ensuing possession.
