FSU led by as many as 18 points in the third quarter, but Miami was able to close the period on a 19-8 run to cut the lead to seven. In the final quarter, Miami got as close as six, but that didn’t come until the final 30 seconds.
Kourtney Weber scored a game-high 15 points to lead four Seminoles in double figures. Bianca Jackson added 13 points and eight assists while Valencia Myers and Sammie Puisis each tallied 12. Taylor Mason led Miami with 13 points on an efficient 4-for-8 shooting.
