The Daily Nole — May 2, 2017: A.J. Alix Transfers to FSU

It’s Tuesday, Florida State fans. We’ll have the latest in FSU athletics right here. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.

Lead Story

For Florida State women’s hoops, replacing Leticia Romero won’t be easy, but the Seminoles may have found a candidate to do it.

A.J. Alix, a graduated senior guard, will transfer from TCU to play her final season at Florida State. Alix made the announcement on Sunday night.

Alix led the Horned Frogs last season, averaging more than 13 points and 4.6 assists per game. Alix shot 39 percent from beyond the 3-point line, but about the same percentage from the field. FSU reached the Elite Eight for the third time in school history this past season before falling to eventual national champion South Carolina.
