ATLANTA, Ga. – The No. 9 Florida State Women’s Basketball team became the fastest team in program history to reach 20 wins after Georgia Tech on the road, 82-62, on Friday night.

The Seminoles (20-2, 7-1) had five double-figure scorers for the second straight game and the sixth time this year, as junior guard Emiah Bingley led the way with 15 points off the bench while going 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. Bingley’s five treys tied a career high she set last season at Virginia. She helped Florida State top the 40-point mark for the second straight game in bench points, as FSU tallied 42 points from the non-starters.

“What is great about this team is that there is no drop-off,” FSU head coach Sue Semrau said. “Everyone plays very well together and tonight we defended very well together. We needed to defend Kaela Davis, who is an excellent player, and we were able to hold her to six made field goals. Our guards and post players did a great job of helping off ball screens.”

Florida State returns with a home game against No. 23/22 Syracuse on Monday night at 7 p.m. on the ACC’s regional sports networks. Monday’s game is “Blackout The Orange” Night where black T-shirts will be given away to fans in attendance.
