Pryor Powers Aggies Past Florida, 74–66, to Secure First SEC Win

Ny’Ceara Pryor stuffs the stat sheet as Texas A&M clamps down defensively, silences Gainesville crowd

GAINESVILLE, Fla. | Led by a brilliant, all-around performance from Ny’Ceara Pryor, the Texas A&M Aggies women's basketball broke through in Southeastern Conference play Thursday night, knocking off the Florida Gators women's basketball 74–66 at Exactech Arena to earn their first SEC victory of the season.

Pryor delivered one of the most complete outings by any guard in the league this year, finishing with 18 points, 12 assists, six steals, and five rebounds. The Aggies (8–4, 1–2 SEC) rebounded from a heartbreaking overtime loss at Georgia by jumping on Florida early and never relinquishing control.

Fast Start, Full Control

Texas A&M set the tone immediately, torching the nets in the opening quarter while locking down defensively. The Aggies shot 64.7% (11-of-15) in the first 10 minutes, buried four three-pointers, and surged to a 26–16 lead.

Behind Pryor’s court vision and Fatmata Janneh’s dominant presence inside, Florida went more than six minutes without a made field goal to close the quarter. Janneh poured in nine first-quarter points and finished with a season-high 22 points and nine rebounds, giving the Aggies a physical edge from the outset.

Despite early foul trouble for both Pryor and Janneh, Texas A&M maintained composure. The teams played evenly in the second quarter, allowing the Aggies to carry a 39–29 advantage into halftime.
