Angie Bjorklund scored 24 points, including six 3s, to help No. 5 Tennessee beat Florida 83-44 on Sunday to remain on top of the Southeastern Conference.

The Lady Volunteers (23-2, 11-1 SEC) were only up 34-28 at halftime after trading the lead with Florida (13-12, 6-6) eight times in the first half.

Tennessee opened the second half on a 12-3 run and used 64.5 percent shooting after the break to take command. The Gators hit only 21.2 percent of their second half shots and never reached the free-throw line.
