Lead Story
Florida State remains unconquered on the hardwood so far during the 2017-18 season. In what was arguably the toughest test yet, the No. 13 FSU women passed with flying colors on Sunday with a 77-66 win over Arizona State.
Imani Wright finished with a game-high 22 points to pace the Seminoles while A.J. Alix and Shakayla Thomas each put up double-doubles. Alix finished with 14 points and 11 assists. Thomas recorded 15 points and 10 rebounds.
FSU was paced by a hot start as it led 27-11 after a quarter and never really looked back. The Sun Devils were led by Reili Richardson, who scored 18 points. Robbi Ryan and Kianna Ibis finished with 15 and 11 points, respectively, for Arizona State in the loss.
With the win, the Seminoles move to a perfect 10-0. FSU will visit No. 2 Texas next Sunday.
