BOX SCORE
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) - A dominant first half from redshirt junior Bianca Jackson helped pave the way for the Florida State women's basketball team (7-5, 6-5) to secure a 67-52 win against Syracuse (11-5, 8-5) in their first game back at the Donald L. Tucker Center since Jan. 21.
"I could not be more excited and proud of how we responded tonight," interim head coach Brooke Wyckoff said. "Our girls stepped up to the challenge tonight against a really good Syracuse team. We had some players step up and they did it together as a team."
This is the Noles' first of four straight home games after playing four straight games on the road. The Seminoles win tonight also breaks a three-game skid against the Orange that dates back to Jan. 19, 2017.
