The 22nd-ranked Florida State Women’s Basketball team (7-3) visits the City of Brotherly Love for the first time since 2014 when they battle Drexel (4-3) on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.

The game can be live streamed for free on FloHoops’ various social platforms, including their YouTube page, X account and Facebook account.

Florida State last played in Philadelphia on Dec. 14, 2014, when it defeated Temple, 66-62, in what was current head coach Brooke Wyckoff’s fourth season as an assistant coach at FSU.

Drexel was recently added to Philadelphia’s famous Big 5 schools, which also includes Villanova, Temple, LaSalle, Penn and St. Joseph’s. The Seminoles are a combined 6-1 against those schools, only playing Temple (5-1) and St. Joseph’s (1-0).

Sunday’s game between Florida State and Drexel will be the first head-to-head meeting by the two programs in any sport since FSU softball won a doubleheader against the Dragons on March 23, 1992.

Sophomore Ta’Niya Latson has proven once again to be lethal against ranked competition this season. In FSU’s three ranked matchups this season vs. No. 11 Tennessee, No. 4 Stanford and No. 2 UCLA, Latson is averaging 23.0 points, shooting 44.9 percent from the floor, 42.9 percent from 3-point range and averaging 2.7 steals per game.

The Seminoles are averaging nearly 17 points per game (16.8) in scoring off turnovers this season.

Junior forward Makayla Timpson already owns five double-doubles this season. She recorded 13 last season, tied for the second most in a season in program history and behind only WNBA All-Star Natasha Howard’s 15 double-doubles in the 2013-14 year.

Despite being a high-possession team that plays with pace, FSU ranks 14th nationally with just 12.0 turnovers per game and 43rd in the country in assist/turnover ratio at 1.18.

FSU ranks second in the ACC and 21st in the country averaging 83.9 points per game.

The Seminoles return home for a game against Alabama State right before their holiday break on Wednesday, Dec. 20, at 6 p.m.
