Good Friday, Florida State fans. As you enjoy a day off or wrap up your work week, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State women’s basketball guard Imani Wright had a solid showing during her final time wearing an FSU uniform, but came up just a bit short.
In the Marine’s 3-Point Championship on Thursday night, Wright reached the semifinals after making 16 triples in the first round. Wright was ultimately ousted one round short of the final as Duke’s Rebecca Greenwell and Katelynn Flaherty of Michigan reached the final with Flaherty taking home the crown.
As a senior this past season, Wright set an FSU school-record by making 103 triples. Wright was named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press.
