First Quarter

The game began with both teams showcasing their offensive capabilities. The Seminoles managed to keep pace with the Sooners, scoring 21 points in the first quarter. Jasmine Shavers led Florida State's charge early on, contributing significantly to their offensive efforts.

Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, both teams continued their scoring spree. The Seminoles matched their first-quarter output with another 21 points. However, Oklahoma's defense started to tighten up, making it difficult for Florida State to maintain momentum.

Third Quarter

In the third quarter, Sydney Bowles emerged as a key player for Florida State by adding crucial points and maintaining pressure on Oklahoma's defense. Despite her efforts and those of her teammates like Sole Williams and Allie Kubek, who also contributed offensively throughout the game, Oklahoma extended its lead by outscoring Florida State by eight points during this period.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter saw an impressive display from both sides as they battled intensely until the end. The Seminoles scored 26 points but were unable to close down on Oklahoma’s lead due largely in part due to defensive lapses that allowed fast break opportunities for their opponents which resulted in easy baskets time after time again throughout this period alone leading them ultimately falling short despite valiant efforts put forth across board especially from players such as Emma Risch who made several three-pointers keeping them within striking distance till very end when clock finally ran out sealing fate once more leaving fans pondering what might have been had things gone differently earlier stages perhaps even turning point moment itself somewhere along way back then instead now here today reflecting upon all transpired thus far already past tense now behind us forevermore moving forward looking ahead next challenge awaits just around corner soon enough indeed surely so stay tuned folks!
