The Daily Nole — May 24, 2017: FSU Women’s Hoops Adds Maryland Transfer

Happy hump day, Florida State fans. As you settle into the day, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.

Lead Story

It’s been an offseason of landing transfers for Florida State’s women’s basketball team. The latest came on Tuesday.

Kiah Gillespie, a Maryland forward, took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce she would be transferring to FSU. Gillespie averaged 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game as a sophomore for the Terrapins last season.

Gillespie was set to be a junior and without her degree, will have to sit out the 2017-18 season. TCU guard A.J. Alix transferred to FSU earlier this offseason and will be eligible to play immediately.
