McMiller Scores 42 as Florida Rout UCF

Her efficient shooting and the Gators’ rebounding surge have given first-year coach Tammi Reiss clear early momentum for the program.

Overview

  • Florida beat UCF 95-65 while junior transfer Kiyomi McMiller scored 42 points on 14-of-25 shooting, 7-of-10 from three and 7-of-8 at the foul line.
  • The performance follows McMiller’s 31-point Florida debut, giving her 73 points in her first two games and placing her single-game total among the program’s highest since 2017.
  • The Gators built a 48-26 halftime lead and finished with 47.0% shooting and 44% from three, turning strong offense into a comfortable win.
  • Florida outrebounded UCF 47-25, including 19 offensive boards, and outscored the Knights 14-7 in second-chance points, statistics that complemented McMiller’s scoring.
  • Support from recent transfers such as Vivian Iwuchukwu and Vanessa Harris helped produce the win and the showing could boost fan interest and early expectations for Reiss’s rebuild as Florida prepares to continue the nonconference slate on the road.
