TALLAHASSEE, Florida – Florida State Women's Basketball has added another preseason ranking, earning a No. 17 spot from Lindy's Sports Magazine. Sophomore guard Ta'Niya Latson was also selected to the magazine's preseason All-America Third Team.
The No. 17 ranking follows up a No. 15 selection by ESPN and No. 16 by The Athletic.
The return of Latson and her otherworldly year as a freshman coupled with All-ACC Team member Makayla Timpson and top-notch defensive guard Sara Bejedi give the Seminoles a strong core. FSU's roster of 12 players includes six returnees and six newcomers, headlined by high-scoring graduate transfer guard Alexis Tucker and the top-ranked junior college player in forward Sakyia White.
The Seminoles return four of their top five scorers from last year's team that finished 23-10. Latson averaged 21.3 points, Timpson added 13.2 points, Bejedi poured in 10.8 points and junior guard O'Mariah Gordon averaged 6.9 points. As a freshman, Gordon joined Timpson on the ACC All-Freshmen Team.
FSU is less than a week away from its first exhibition of the year when it hosts Flagler College on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 6 p.m. at the Tucker Center. Admission is free to the event.
