TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) - The 15th-ranked Seminoles (14-5, 5-2) face Virginia (8-9, 0-6) for the 58th time in program history on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Tucker Center. UVA holds a 35-22 series lead, but the Seminoles have won nine of the past 10 meetings.
Florida State boasts one of the best quartets in the ACC in Ta'Niya Latson (20.3 points), O'Mariah Gordon (13.9), Makayla Timpson (13.6) and Sara Bejedi (13.2). The group has accounted for 85.5 percent of the team's points production in ACC play. Latson is coming off a 22-point performance at Syracuse on Thursday, her 29th 20-point game in 49 career games.
Latson remains one 30-point game shy of sole possession of first place in school history. She is currently tied with Seminole legend Sue Galkantas (1980-84) with 11 30-point performances in their FSU careers.
Wyckoff was part of the first FSU squad to ever knock off powerhouse Virginia on Jan. 24, 2001. She scored eight points with four rebounds in a 60-58 home win to give the Noles their first win over the Cavaliers in 21 tries. That season, Wyckoff led FSU to an incredible run to the NCAA Tournament.
Virginia Head Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton, known as "Coach Mox," faces FSU for the third time in her head coaching career. She enjoyed an outstanding three-year head coaching career at Missouri State, defeating FSU in the 2022 NCAA First Four. In her UVA debut season last year, the Seminoles defeated the Cavaliers on the road 77-68.
Gordon continues her impressive comeback season after battling foot injuries last year. Gordon is averaging 14.0 points vs. ACC opponents this year, shooting 48.1 percent overall, 39.3 percent from downtown, 3.4 rebounds per game and a 1.8 assist/turnover ratio.
In FSU's 14 wins this season, it is averaging 86.1 points, 15.4 assists and owning a +4.4 turnover margin per game.
Florida State's 79.7 points per game in ACC play leads the league, while its 83.2 overall points per game is second in the ACC.
The Seminoles enter Sunday's game in third place in the ACC with a 5-2 conference mark.
