TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Leonor Rodriguez scored 22 points and Chelsea Davis had 21 as No. 19 Florida State defeated No. 14 North Carolina 80-73 in Atlantic Coast Conference play Sunday.
It was the first victory for the Seminoles (20-5, 10-4) over a team in the top 15 since Feb. 1, 2010 — when they beat then-No. 13 North Carolina 83-73.
Rodriguez scored five points during a 9-0 run early in the second half that gave the Seminoles a 47-41 lead.
The Tar Heels (23-4, 11-3) got within one, 47-46, after five consecutive points by Xylina McDaniel, but Florida State never lost the lead.
