NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Hannah Tuomi scored 16 of her career-high 26 points in the second half, leading Vanderbilt to a 71-60 victory over Florida on Wednesday night.

Tuomi was a perfect 10-for-10 from the field, and had nine rebounds and a block as the Commodores (20-8, 9-6 Southeastern Conference) moved into sole possession of third place by a half-game with one game left. Last season Tuomi suffered a season-ending injury before the last regular-season game and missed tournament play.

Jence Rhoads added 16 points for the Commodores, including seven in the final minute, and Meredith Marsh added 13 points and eight assists.

Jennifer George scored 13 points, while Jordan Jones and Steffi Sorensen had 11 each for the Lady Gators (14-14, 7-8). Sorensen hit three 3-pointers, including one that pulled Florida within three, 52-49, before Marsh answered with a 3-pointer.
