The No. 16 UK women’s basketball team rebounded from Sunday’s loss at Vanderbilt with a 77-51 victory over Florida.

The Cats trailed 33-29 at the half, but a 25-2 run midway through the second half left little doubt in Thursday’s rout.

Sophomore guard Keyla Snowden and senior forward Lydia Watkins were the stars of the night. Snowden scored 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-5 from behind the 3-point line. After a scoreless first half, Watkins rebounded for 19 points and nine boards.

UK improves to 22-4, 10-3 in the Southeastern Conference with the win.

UK will return to the court Sunday at 3 p.m. for the final home game of the season vs. South Carolina. Seniors Watkins and Amani Franklin will be honored for Senior Day.
