Key Performances from Florida State


The Seminoles' triumph was underpinned by standout performances from several players who made significant contributions on both ends of the court. Ta'Niya Latson led her team with an impressive 20 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds, demonstrating her all-around game and leadership on the floor. Her efficiency game score of 19.3 highlighted her impact on the game's outcome.


Makayla Timpson also had a notable performance for Florida State, contributing 17 points and securing 13 rebounds for a double-double that bolstered her team's dominance in paint play and rebounding efforts. Her two blocks further emphasized her defensive prowess during critical moments of the match.


O'Mariah Gordon added another layer to Florida State's offensive strategy by scoring 15 points along with two assists and four steals. Her shooting accuracy from beyond the arc (100 percent three-point percentage) stretched Clemson's defense and created additional scoring opportunities for her teammates.


Clemson Tigers' Efforts


Despite falling short in this encounter, Clemson showed resilience throughout each quarter but struggled to contain Florida State's offensive firepower. Their leading scorer contributed significantly to keeping them competitive; however, turnovers proved costly as they allowed Florida State to capitalize with 17 points off turnovers compared to their seven.


The Tigers managed a commendable effort on rebounds matching Florida State’s total at 39 each but couldn't leverage this into sufficient scoring opportunities or defensive stops when needed most.
