Shavers Leads All Scorers with 15 Points Against North Carolina on Sunday

TALLAHASSEE - The Florida State women's basketball team (6-13, 1-6 ACC) fell to RV/No. 23 North Carolina (15-5, 4-3 ACC) by a final score of 82-55 on Sunday at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.

Graduate guard Jasmine Shavers led with 15 points, leading all scorers, going 3-of-7 from beyond the arc and a perfect 4-of-4 at the free-throw line. Shavers would also tally two assists alongside senior guard Amaya Bonner and junior guard Sole Williams. Junior guard Emma Risch would follow with 10 points, adding two three-pointers and converting her two attempts at the stripe.

Sophomore guard Tatum Greene provided strong defensive effort, pulling down a team-high five rebounds to go with two steals and one block. Avery Treadwell also swatted two blocks.

Bonner opened the home side scoring with a layup for the second straight game. North Carolina worked ahead early, but a string of four steals by the Seminole defense stalled the Tar Heels' momentum. Free throws from Bonner and a mid-range jumper from Davis helped cut down the point deficit as the defense forced seven turnovers, but UNC would maintain their lead at the conclusion of the first quarter, 17-8.

A cold start to the second quarter was disrupted as Shavers got herself on the board with a triple and subsequent jumper. Risch and Sydney Bowles would follow up with threes of their own just 50 seconds apart, bringing the distance on the scoreboard down to single digits. A late run by North Carolina in the remaining four minutes pulled the Tar Heels ahead, 38-19.

Bowles and Shavers tied for a team-leading five points. Greene led the effort on the glass with three rebounds while four different Seminoles recorded a pair each. Williams and Greene each recorded two steals, accounting for four of the team's five total first half takeaways.

Layups within the first minute from Allie Kubek and Williams opened the second half scoring for the Seminoles. Though UNC would answer back, consecutive three-pointers from Williams and Shavers in the seventh minute cut further into the deficit. Risch added her second make from deep and a lone free throw from Treadwell would close out third quarter scoring for FSU, trailing 61-35 entering the final quarter.

Shavers fired from the top of the perimeter to kick off fourth quarter scoring, followed up by a contested layup from Bonner. A corner three by freshman guard Mari Gerton, a jumper from Risch and a pair of free throws from Treadwell would round out the final two minutes of the game as the game ended 82-55 in favor of the Tar Heels.

Florida State will hit the road for Dallas to face SMU on Thursday, Jan. 22 at the Moody Center. The game will air on the ACC Network Extra (ACCNX) at 7:30 p.m.
