FSU women’s basketball fell to Stanford 77-61 on Sunday:
Junior guard Sole Williams led all scorers with 17 points, going 7-of-16 from the field including two three-pointers. Graduate guard Jasmine Shavers followed with 14 points with a pair of threes herself, while senior guard Sydney Bowles rounded out the double digit scoring with 10 points, including an impressive 8-of-9 mark from the free-throw line, tying her career best for free throws made.
Florida State was excellent from the free-throw line, shooting 89 percent on a 17-of-19 mark as a team.
The Seminoles forced 17 turnovers from the Cardinal, including 10 steals. Seven different players recorded at least one steal, with Shavers earning three while junior guard Emma Risch taking two.
Following Senior Day celebrations, it was only fitting that senior guard Amaya Bonner opened scoring for the home side with a layup followed by a three-pointer from Shavers. The duo would account for 10 of the 14 total first quarter points. A hard fought basket in the paint from junior center Pania Davis plus a pair of the free throws from Bowles wrapped up scoring in the first frame, FSU trailing Stanford 23-14.
Two more free throws fell for Bowles to begin the second quarter, followed by Williams getting herself on the board with a layup. The defense got to work to force six turnovers from the Cardinal in the frame alone. Stanford managed to reestablish themselves in the final few minutes, and a layup from Shavers and second-chance tip-in from junior forward Avery Treadwell would close out the first half offense. Florida State went to the locker room with a 41-22 deficit.
Bonner led the first half scoring with seven points, followed by Shavers with five. Bowles posted a perfect 4-of-4 mark from the free-throw line. Florida State recorded four steals as a team, Shavers with a pair while graduate guard Allie Kubek and Risch recorded one each.
A stronger defensive effort from the Seminoles stunned the Cardinal out of halftime after an opening free throw and three, Stanford went without a bucket for over three minutes. Florida State took advantage of the downtime, going on an 8-0 run halfway through powered by Greene and Williams that lasted over two minutes. Williams and Davis provided crucial points in the paint while Shavers added her second triple of the contest at the 3-minute mark.
While Stanford struggled to find the hoop, another scoring run would come for the Seminoles in the final two minutes. Bowles added her fifth make from the foul stripe while Williams continued to cut into the deficit, posting a layup and a three just 20 seconds apart to break into double digits. Energy was high as the Seminoles worked the Stanford lead down to just 11 points, trailing 54-43 at the end of the third quarter.
Bowles continued to pressure in the fourth, sinking a mid-range jumper and adding three more makes from the free-throw line after drawing a shooting foul on the perimeter. Defense continued to push, earning four more steals and causing six more turnovers from the Cardinal. Greene, Davis and Shavers all converted on visits to the stripe in the final frame, helping bring Stanford’s lead into just single digits with just under five minutes to go. However, Stanford would respond to keep their lead alive as FSU fell 77-61.
Florida State will hit the road to face No. 9 Duke on Thursday, Feb. 26 at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. Tip-off will air at 8 p.m. on the ACC Network (ACCN).
