TALLAHASSEE - The Florida State women's basketball team took down North Florida by a final score of 74-63 on Thursday at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. The win came in front of an excitable crowd of Leon County elementary students for the team's annual Education Day game.
Florida State started slow, trailing 43-27 at halftime, but surged out of the break with a game-best 26-point third quarter to eventually outscore North Florida 47-20 in second half play. Senior guard Solé Williams and freshman guard Morgan Stewart provided all the firepower in the fourth quarter, combining for 21 to secure the victory.
The Seminoles (2-0) extend their unbeaten streak over the Ospreys (0-1) to 13-0 all-time, including an 11-0 mark at home.
Stewart led all scorers for the second consecutive game, topping her previous best with 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting off the bench. She came just shy of a double-double, tying junior guard Tatum Greene for a team-best nine rebounds. Stewart also added two steals and three assists in the win.
Williams finished with 16 points, notching nine in an intense fourth quarter. She tied her career best with six rebounds while adding six assists.
Florida State played North Florida close in the opening quarter, finishing with a one-point edge for the home side at 19-18. Missy Odom opened the scoring with a three-pointer in the first minute, and Savannah Henderson added her first two in a Seminole uniform in the final three minutes of the frame. In the quarter, 12 of FSU's 19 points came in the painted area. Odom and Williams led the rebounding effort with three boards apiece.
The Ospreys pulled away in the second quarter behind looks in the paint and three-point shooting. Florida State trailed 43-27 going into the half.
Timaya Lewis-Eutsey spearheaded the effort out of the half, recording a quick seven points and helping Florida State to a 13-4 run in the first four minutes of play. A six-point effort by Stewart in the final four minutes of the quarter contributed to an 11-3 FSU run, bringing the Seminoles within two points of the Ospreys at 55-53.
Williams and Stewart took control in the fourth quarter, establishing a 13-2 run and holding UNF without a field goal through the first six minutes. Stewart picked up back-to-back threes to punctuate a 12-point effort in the final frame, followed by Williams with nine to close out the 74-63 win.
As a team, Florida State shot 39.7 percent from the floor and added eight threes. The Noles outrebounded the Ospreys 51-37 and forced 15 turnovers, converting them into 20 points.
Florida State will host neighboring Florida A&M on Sunday at 2 p.m. for "850 Night", where fans can purchase two tickets for $8.50. The game will stream on the ACC Network Extra (ACCNX). Fans can also catch the radio broadcast with Scott Kornberg on 96.5 FM, on the Seminoles Game Day app and Seminoles.com.
