It’s Monday, Florida State fans. As your week begins anew, 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
For the fifth season in a row, Florida State’s women’s basketball hit double-digit ACC wins and will be the No. 6 seed in next week’s ACC Tournament.
The Seminoles accomplished that feat with a stifling defensive effort in the fourth quarter on Sunday in a 64-55 win at Georgia Tech. The Seminoles trailed 51-47 after three quarters, but kept the Yellow Jackets scoreless for nearly eight minutes to start the fourth. FSU held Georgia Tech to 2-for-12 shooting in the final period and to 37 percent for the game.
Nausia Woolfolk led FSU with a game-high 16 points. Kiah Gillespie and Morgan Jones each scored 12 points. Gillespie added 13 rebounds. Jasmine Carson led Georgia Tech with 14 points on an efficient 5-for-7 shooting.
With the win, FSU wraps up the regular season with a 22-7 record overall and a 10-6 mark in the ACC and will be the No. 6 seed in the ACC Tournament in Greensboro this week. The Seminoles will face either 11th-seeded Duke or No. 14 seed Pittsburgh on Thursday.
