11/21/2024 5:00:00 PM | Women's Basketball
TALLAHASSEE – The RV Florida State women's basketball team (4-1) will conclude its four-game home stand on Friday by welcoming Florida (3-1) at the Donald L. Tucker Center at 7 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to wear white and white pom-poms will be given away while supplies last.
"It's going to be another great match up for a rivalry game," FSU head coach Brooke Wyckoff said. "There's a lot that goes into a game like this. It's our next chance to play someone at the Power 4 level. The ramifications of this game go into postseason considerations. It's also a game that gives us a test similar to what we'll see in the ACC. A lot is going into this game and all of that adds up to making it exciting for us."
The Seminoles enter the contest leading the nation in points per game (101.2), having scored 100 points or more in three games this season. Ta'Niya Latson leads the country in scoring at 27.3 points per game, and Makayla Timpson is first in rebounds per game at 13.8.
Florida State trails Florida in the all-time series 40-45, but the Seminoles have won the previous two meetings and 10 of the last 12.
The game will air on the ACC Network and the broadcast of the Seminole Sport Network can be found on 96.5 The Spear, Seminoles.com and Sirius XM channel 210 or 193.
The Last Time Out
Florida State women's basketball defeated North Carolina Central 119-57 on Monday at the Tucker Center. The Seminoles matched the program record for points scored at a game, a mark that was set in the opener against UNF on Nov. 4.
Latson scored her first career double-double behind 34 points and a career-high 10 assists.
Carla Viegas led in three pointers, sinking six, setting a new career high. She scored 18 points, which was also a career high.
O'Mariah Gordon contributed 21 points and was perfect from three (3-of-3) and at the free throw line (8-of-8).
