Florida State women’s basketball (9-16, 4-9) powered to its second straight ACC win Thursday night, riding a near-flawless shooting performance from Sole Williams to an 85–76 victory over Boston College (4-23, 0-14) at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
Williams led all scorers with 23 points, hitting 10 of 13 from the field and 2 of 4 from 3-point range. The sophomore guard also added four rebounds and three assists, marking her sixth 20-point game of the season.

Three more Seminoles finished in double figures. Jasmine Shavers posted her second double-double of the year with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Amaya Bonner matched her career highs with six rebounds and five assists while also scoring 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting. Pania Davis added 11 points.
FSU controlled the interior defensively, recording nine blocks—its most in an ACC game this season. Tatum Greene matched her career-high with four blocks to go along with seven points and seven rebounds.
The Seminoles built a 23–15 lead after the first quarter, then broke open the game with a 13–0 second-quarter run to go up 36–17. Bonner’s 3-pointer stretched the surge to 16 straight points. Boston College responded by hitting 10 consecutive shots to cut the deficit to 10 at halftime, 48–38.
FSU steadied itself in the third quarter, hitting six of its first eight shots to push the lead back to 70–56 entering the fourth. The Eagles never got within single digits down the stretch and remain winless in ACC play.
