Sun Mar 02 19:00:00 UTC 2025: ## FSU Women’s Basketball Power Duo Returns for Crucial Notre Dame Showdown

**TALLAHASSEE, FL** – Florida State University’s top two scorers, Ta’Niya Latson and O’Mariah Gordon, will return to the starting lineup Thursday night as the No. 24 Seminoles face off against No. 4 Notre Dame. Both players missed recent games due to undisclosed injuries; Latson sat out three games, while Gordon missed two. Despite their absences, FSU managed three consecutive victories.

Their return is crucial for the Seminoles as they prepare to face Notre Dame’s formidable scoring duo of Hannah Hildalgo and Olivia Miles. Latson, the nation’s leading scorer with 26.2 points per game, will be key in countering Hildalgo’s 24.7 points per game. Gordon, a senior enjoying a career season with 16.7 points and a top-7 national assist-turnover ratio (3.13), adds significant firepower to FSU’s lineup.

The highly anticipated matchup holds significant implications for the ACC Player of the Year race and could even influence National Player of the Year consideration. The winner of Thursday’s game is likely to strengthen their claim for these prestigious awards.

Thursday’s game marks FSU’s final road contest. The Seminoles will conclude their regular season at home against Duke on Sunday at 6 p.m.
