Nicki Ekhomu added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Seminoles while Shakayla Thomas added 12 points and Imani Wright 11.
Florida, who was led by Funda Nakkasoglu’s 18 points, scored the game’s first basket and led for 11 seconds and never again. The game was tied after the first quarter before the Seminoles pushed the lead to 12 at the break and to 27 after three quarters.
