No. 17 Miami Tops Women's Basketball

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -  North Florida women's basketball could not overcome a slow start to the second half as No. 17 Miami grabbed the 78-55 win in front of 3,500 elementary school kids at the Watsco Center Wednesday.

  • After the break, Miami came out with six straight points and never looked back.

  • The Hurricanes used a 16-4 run to put the game out of reach as UNF was held without a basket for more than five minutes.
