GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Arkansas had a three-game winning streak snapped on Sunday afternoon, falling to Florida, 83-80, as Chelsea Dungee’s tying attempt at the buzzer didn’t go in.
A’Tyanna Gaulden and Amber Ramirez each had 17 points to pace the Razorbacks and Dungee had 2 for the game.
Turning point of game
Arkansas was nearly able to overcome what was once a 14-point deficit, shrinking the Gators’ lead to just one on a Ramirez three-pointer from the right corner.
A runner from Kiara Smith of the Gators stretched the lead back out to three.
After a stop, Dungee put up a three in transition that nearly went down. After a lengthy review, and a foul on the Hogs on the ensuing inbounds play, Dungee got a second look to tie it up after a steal, but it wouldn’t fall at the final buzzer.

• Gaulden’s 17 points set a new career high. She had an efficient afternoon, going 6-of-9 from the field.
