Florida Gators vs. Memphis Tigers

PARRY SOUND, Ontario (Interstat) — The Florida Gators, off to a strong 6-1 start, will travel north to face the Memphis Tigers in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup on Friday.

The game will be played at John Gray Gymnasium in this Ontario resort town, a neutral-site contest for both teams.

Florida brings momentum from a 59-51 road victory over Florida Atlantic on Monday. The Gators’ offense is powered by Laila Reynolds, who scored 17 points in the win, and Me’Arah O’Neal, who added 11 points and five blocks. Caterina Piatti also contributes, coming off a 14-point performance.

The Tigers (4-3) are looking to build on a 70-64 home win against Louisiana-Lafayette from Tuesday. Memphis was led in that contest by Chaé Harris, who poured in 21 points, and Paris Gaines, who added 17.

Florida’s lone loss this season came on the road against Navy. Memphis has struggled at home, including an overtime loss to Mississippi and a 24-point defeat to Ball State.

Following this game, Florida will quickly turn around to host Georgia Tech on Saturday. Memphis will remain in Parry Sound to face Saint John’s the following day.
