  "account": "Junior guard Kiyomi McMiller ignited Florida's women's basketball program with a stellar 42-point performance against UCF, propelling the Gators to a 95-65 victory in their second win of the season. The 5-foot-9 McMiller, recruited from Penn State, dominated the court with 14-of-25 shooting, 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, and 7-of-8 at the free-throw line. Her scoring output surpassed the previous record set by Ronnie Williams in 2017. McMillan, when asked about her mindset, stated, \"Just keep going until they stop me.\" First-year coach Tami Reiss praised McMiller's threes, noting, \"When you're hitting threes, there's really nothing a defense can do.\" Florida dominated the contest, leading by 22 points at halftime and outscoring UCF 14-7 in second chance opportunities while outrebounding the Knights 47-25. Reiss emphasized the significance of the win, stating, \"We had a lot to play for tonight. If they like what they see, they will come back.\"",
