TALLAHASSEE - The Florida State women's basketball team defeated West Florida by a final score of 86-58 on Wednesday night at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center on Military Appreciation Night.

Wednesday night's game was the first meeting between the Seminoles (4-0) and the Argonauts (1-3) since the University of West Florida added women's basketball as a varsity sport in 1981.

Four Seminoles landed in double figure scoring, with freshman guard Morgan Stewart and senior guard Emma Risch leading the way with 15 points each. All of Risch's points came from beyond the arc on 5-for-7 shooting, tying her best from the previous season after sinking five against the College of Charleston on Dec. 14, 2025. Stewart went 5-for-11 from the floor and a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line, contributing four rebounds, two steals and a season best six assists.

Sophomore guard Jasmine Nivar finished closely with a season-best 14 points and tallied a career-high six assists. Defensively, Nivar added three takeaways and a block as well as four rebounds. Junior guard Tatum Greene was the last Nole in double-digit scoring with 11 points and team-best seven rebounds.

As a team, Florida State shot 41.8 percent (28-of-67) from the floor and recorded a season best 12 threes. The Seminoles also racked up 20 assists, the highest since tallying 21 in the win over Miami on Feb. 8, 2026. Florida State forced 20 turnovers from West Florida, converting them into 27 points.

Through four games, Florida State has collected 92 turnovers from its opponents, converting them into 124 points.

A three by senior forward Aga Makurat got the scoring started for the home side in the first quarter, spurring an 11-0 run. Risch and Nivar each added threes from the corner as six different Noles added points. A late surge of three-pointers from the Argos allowed them to close in as the Seminoles led 18-16 at the end of the frame.

Florida State maintained distance on the scoreboard with three more triples in the second quarter, with Risch finding the hoop beyond the arc twice just 23 seconds apart. Stewart started and ended scoring for the quarter, dropping two consecutive jumpers with under eight minutes to go and helping the Noles with a 7-0 run in the last two minutes with a fastbreak layup and pair of free throws.

Florida State led 45-29 going into the half. Stewart was the only Seminole in double figures on either side with 12 first half points. Risch followed closely with nine points on perfect 3-for-3 shooting from three. Nivar and Greene each pulled down three boards, with Nivar tallying four first half assists.

The Seminoles continued to elevate the lead with the help of five triples in the third quarter alone. Risch added two more to raise her total to five while Lee added a pair in the same minute at 1:57 and 1:01 remaining, with Stewart notching her first three in the final 10 seconds to cap the quarter with a 71-43 Seminole lead.

Nivar led the fourth quarter scoring with five points, contributing a three of her own to round the team's total out to 12 threes. Sophomore guard Mari Gerton got on the scoreboard with a pair of free throws, adding three boards and a steal in the frame.

Florida State rounds out its five-game homestand when it hosts in-state rival Florida on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m for Seminole Heritage.
