The Florida State Seminoles women’s basketball team were ranked 14th in the NCAA Division 1 standings posted February 28th.
The Seminoles entered the ACC-Tournament with an overall record of 23-7 and a conference record of 11-3. They entered the quarterfinals of the ACC-Tournament as the No. 3 seed and were defeated by the University of North Carolina.
Florida State’s Season
Florida entered into the ACC-Tournament quarterfinals hoping to advance over the University of North Carolina. A lack of scoring plagued the team and led to the ultimate loss. The Seminoles trailed by 15 at the half and used a 12-1 run to pull within one point of the Tar Heels.
This would be the closest they would get because they then went scoreless for the remainder of the game. Florida State has played in 20 ACC Tournaments with a record of 6-20. Sue Semrau leads the Seminoles but she looks to senior Christian Hunnicutt, junior Cierra Bravard, and freshman Natasha Howard for on court dominance.
