CLEMSON, S.C. (Seminoles.com) – The 22nd-ranked Florida State Women’s Basketball team couldn’t shake loose a pesky Clemson squad on the road until using a 16-0 run midway through the second half to lift the Noles to an 82-52 win on Thursday night at Littlejohn Coliseum.

The turning point of the game began off a made free throw by redshirt senior Maegan Conwright to give the Seminoles (14-2, 1-1) a 43-40 lead with 12:26 left in the game. It ended with a pretty transition layup from junior center Adut Bulgak on a nice feed from Conwright to extend the FSU lead to 59-40 with 8:15 remaining.

Sophomore forward Ivey Slaughter and Bulgak each finished with double-doubles, while Conwright led all scorers with a career-high 20 points and four 3-pointers.

Florida State hosts its first ACC home game of the season on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. against No. 13/12 Duke at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
