FSU sports information:
The No. 21 Florida State Women’s Basketball team (9-3) raced past Alabama State (0-10) in a 110-45 win as the team celebrated Holiday Hoops on Wednesday night at the Tucker Center.
The Seminoles nearly made history, as they were four points shy of matching a 32-year long record of points scored in a game. The record of 114 points has stood since February 6, 1991, when Florida State defeated Stetson.
FSU has reached at least 110 points in consecutive years after defeating Bethune-Cookman last season, 113-50.
Ta’Niya Latson led the Noles in scoring with 23 points, marking her 24th career 20-point game. She went 10-of-11 from the free throw line and drew six fouls.
The Seminoles had plenty of players with double-figure scoring including Latson scoring 23, Alexis Tucker 15, Sara Bejedi 15, Makayla Timpson 14, Brianna Turnage 11, and O’Mariah Gordon 10. It marked the first time this season FSU had six players reach double digits.
Timpson grabbed eight rebounds to lead a shutdown defensive effort that held Alabama State to 25 percent shooting (17-of-69) and forced 18 turnovers.
FSU raced out of the gates as they started off with a 17-0 run to begin the game. They went on to outscore the Hornets 34-9 in the first, with Latson leading all scorers with 11 points. It tied FSU’s season high for points in a quarter and was the fourth time this season the Seminoles reached 30+ in a quarter.
The Seminoles continued to dominate to round out the first half, as they outscored Alabama State 26-9 during the second quarter to bring the first half score to 60-18. Latson once again led the quarter in scoring, bringing her first-half total to 18.
Florida State made the most of the Hornets’ turnovers, scoring 14 of their first half points off turnovers. The team was also on a hot streak from the foul line, shooting a near perfect 93 percent (14-of-15) from the charity stripe.
The Noles carried over their first-half success into the second, as they went onto outscore Alabama State 24-9 in the third quarter to bring the score to 84-27. Tucker led the Noles in scoring during the third with 10 points. FSU finished the fourth quarter scoring 26 points.
The Seminoles will break for the holidays before they return home to the Tucker Center on Dec. 29 at 2 p.m., to begin ACC play against Georgia Tech. The first 100 fans will receive a Let’s Go Noles T-Shirt.
