Latson’s latest honor ties her for the most in conference history with Wake Forest’s Tracy Connor (1992-93) and Duke’s Elizabeth Williams (2011-12).
The Miami, Fla., native tied a season high with 13 made field goals against 11th-ranked NC State as FSU up-ended the Wolfpack, 91-72, to break a five-game losing streak against them. It was Latson’s sixth 30-point game of the season, breaking a record held by Natasha Howard in 2013-14 and Sue Galkantas in 1981-82.
In FSU’s two games last week vs. No. 11 NC State and Louisville, Latson averaged 21.0 points and shot 50 percent (16-of-32) from the floor. She has scored in double figures in all 20 games played this season.
The Seminoles return to the road with a key conference battle at Virginia on Thursday at 7 p.m. FSU plays at the Tucker Center on Sunday when it hosts Pittsburgh at 2 p.m.
