TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Florida State Women’s Basketball fell to No. 24 UNC, 64-49, on Sunday afternoon in what was a Paint It Pink game at the Donald L. Tucker Center. “It was disappointing the way we finished the game,” FSU Head Coach Sue Semrau said. “I thought we were scratching and clawing and doing some things, and I thought they (UNC) did a great job of going to a smaller lineup. We couldn’t guard their penetration, and then when they were hitting those tough shots, we couldn’t come in and knock down shots.” The Tar Heels (21-5, 11-5) held just a 40-35 lead through the first three quarters, but shot 56.3 percent (9-of-16) in the fourth quarter to out-score the Seminoles (14-12, 8-8), 24-14. Guard Deja Kelly played all 40 minutes and totaled 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting with five assists. FSU senior guard Morgan Jones got things going in the second half to finish with 11 points and five rebounds. Her layup and the foul cut the UNC lead to just one at

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – A hot shooting start for Miami was too much for Florida State Women’s Basketball to overcome as it fell to the Hurricanes, 76-59, on Sunday afternoon at the Watsco Center.
“We were well prepared for this game, but Miami did a nice job,” FSU Head Coach Sue Semrau said. “It was too much hurry up for us. They were very active defensively. We won’t walk out here dwelling on this. We have a quick turnaround to Syracuse on Tuesday.”
