Missouri State Lady Bears vs. Florida State Seminoles
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Interstat) — The Missouri State Lady Bears look to rebound from their first loss of the season when they visit the Florida State Seminoles in a non-conference women’s basketball matchup Friday.
The game will be played at Alico Arena on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University.
Missouri State (5-1) saw its five-game winning streak snapped in a 73-57 road loss at Tulsa on Saturday. Kaemyn Bekemeier led the Lady Bears with 19 points in the defeat. Prior to that, Missouri State had secured wins over Georgia Southern, Wichita State, Southeast Missouri State, UT Arlington and Saint Louis.
Florida State (3-4) is seeking to steady itself after a difficult stretch, having lost three of its last four games. The Seminoles are coming off an 86-63 home loss to Illinois on Sunday. Solè Williams was a bright spot in that game, scoring a team-high 18 points.
The Seminoles’ schedule has been challenging, with losses to ranked opponents Connecticut and Indiana, as well as in-state rival Florida. Their victories have come against Nicholls State, Georgia Southern and Florida A&M.
Friday’s contest begins a tough two-game Florida road trip for Missouri State, which travels to face Oklahoma on Sunday. Florida State’s next matchup is at home against Georgia on Dec. 3.
