TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Seminoles.com) – The No. 20 Florida State Women's Basketball team (7-2) won 99-73 against Jacksonville University (3-5) on Thursday afternoon in an Education Game at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
"I'm proud of the win today and loved the crowd," FSU Head Coach Brooke Wyckoff said. "It was a fun environment today, and it's always fun having the youth energy in there. We did a lot of really good things on the offensive end, we had a lot of players involved scoring-wise and Kay Kay (Timpson) had a phenomenal game. We're really proud to get this win."
The Noles were led in scoring by junior forward Makayla Timpson with 19, and Ta'Niya Latson added 18 points in the win. Timpson registered her fifth double-double of the season with 12 rebounds along with three blocks.
The Noles capitalized on the glass, out-rebounding the Dolphins 41-32.
FSU was very unselfish with the basketball, recording 18 team assists in the win. Junior guard O'Mariah Gordon led all players in assists with eight and added 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting.
FSU caught fire early, jumping out to a 26-10 first quarter lead while holding the Dolphins to just 18 percent from the field. The Noles were led in scoring by Gordon and Timpson with six points respectively.
The 16-point Seminole lead was extended to 21 after the conclusion of the first half. The Noles continued their hot start, shooting 62 percent from the field in the second quarter. Latson led FSU's first-half scoring with 10 points, followed by Gordon and Timpson with eight. FSU made its presence known in the paint during the first half out-scoring the Dolphins 26-12.
After a dominant first-half performance, the Seminoles started the second half slow until a Jacksonville technical foul sparked the Noles, ending the third quarter on a 5-1 scoring run. Sakyia White led the Noles with six points in the quarter. She had eight points, five rebounds and two blocks for the game.
FSU took care of business in the final quarter and ended on an 11-0 scoring run. Latson led the Noles in scoring with nine points in the quarter.
The Seminoles shot a season-best 56.3 percent for the game. FSU also generated eight blocked shots as a team and out-scored the Dolphins 22-5 in second-chance points.
Edyn Battle of Jacksonville led all scorers in the contest with 26.
FSU faces No. 2 UCLA in a nationally-televised game on ESPN2 on Sunday at Noon. It is part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase, which FSU is playing in for the second straight season.
