Happy Valentine’s Day, Florida State fans. We’ll keep you up on the latest in FSU athletics by updating the news and notes section as the day goes on.
Lead Story
Florida State’s fourth-ranked women’s basketball team let what was a 13-point lead late in the third quarter slip away late Monday night in a heartbreaking 92-88 overtime loss to No. 8 Texas.
The Longhorns were propelled by a big fourth quarter and led by three late, but FSU’s Leticia Romero knocked down a 3-pointer with one second left to force overtime. FSU forward Chatrice White split a pair of free throws late in the first overtime to force a second, but with Romero and Ivey Slaughter having both fouled out, the Seminoles eventually ran out of gas.
Shakayla Thomas led FSU with 23 points and 11 rebounds, but on a dismal 9-for-34 shooting. Ama Degbeon and Brittany Brown each scored 13 points. Romero finished with 12 and Imani Wright scored 11. Brooke McCarty scored a career-high 29 points to lead Texas while Ariel Atkins chipped in with 21 points. Joyner Holmes finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Longhorns.
