TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State Women’s Basketball guard Ta’Niya Latson completed the rare sweep of winning ACC Player and ACC Rookie of the Week after her outstanding three-game performance last week. In three games vs. Bethune-Cookman, at Kent State and vs. Georgia State, the Miami, Fla., native averaged 27.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, shot 46 percent from the field (29-of-63), 50 percent from downtown (7-of-14) and averaged 2.0 blocked shots per game. She leads the ACC in scoring in the young season. Her 34 points scored in FSU’s hard-fought road win at Kent State last Thursday marked the most in a game by an FSU freshman since 1981. Her 28 points in FSU’s season opener marked the first time a freshman led the Seminoles in scoring in a season opener since WNBA All-Star Natasha Howard did it in 2010. Latson is the NCAA’s leader in totals points scored with 81, but she also continues to produce defensively as well. As a guard, her six blocked shots this season rank 23rd natio

SP: RHP Carson Montgomery (0-1, 0.00 ERA)
Florida State won last season’s game in Gainesville 2-0 behind a dominant pitching performance from Antonio Velez and Parker Messick. Both players set career-highs at the time with seven strikeouts.
The win snapped an 11-game losing streak for FSU in the series and was the first time that Mike Martin, Jr. faced the Gators as head coach.
At the time, Florida was No. 1 in the country and the last remaining undefeated team in the nation. The season was canceled due to COVID-19 three days later.
Carson Montgomery will pitch for Florida State, his first action in over two weeks. The freshman from Windermere was slated to start FSU’s midweek games against Mercer and USF but both were postponed. Montgomery opened the season in the weekend rotation and has not allowed an earned run this year.
