LAS VEGAS, Nev.-- Kenza Salgues called game.

Trailing 84-83 to UNLV in the WBIT Second Round with only seconds remaining and the season on the line, Florida Gators' guards Jeriah Warren and Liv McGill were trapped beyond the 3-point line, and the team's hopes were dwindling.

Instead, Warren regained composure and found a wide-open Salgues on the wing, and senior capitalized with the game-winning 3-pointer, clinching the Gators' first WBIT Quarterfinals appearance in program history.
