TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Trinetta Moore scored 13 points and had 11 rebounds in leading Florida State to a 65-50 win over Clemson in an Atlantic Coast Conference women’s basketball game at Tallahassee, Fla. Sunday afternoon.

Florida State improves to 12-10 overall, and 5-6 in the ACC. Clemson falls to 15-7 overall, and 5-6 in league play. Moore was 6-9 from the field in the contest. Teammates Shate Williams added 12 points and Alicia Gladden added 10.

Clemson was led in scoring by Lakeia Stokes with 11. Khaili Sanders added nine points. Amanda White led Clemson in rebounding with seven.

Florida State shot 26-54 from the field (.481), while Clemson was 16-58 from the floor for a .276 mark. One of the key of the games was the Seminoles’ inside scoring as Florida State scored 36 points in the paint compared to Clemson’s 10.

The Seminoles won the battle of the boards 39-34. Moore led both teams in rebounding with 11.

“We have to learn to play with more aggressiveness,” said Clemson Head Coach Jim Davis. “Give Florida State credit, they guarded us well and was more physical in the post. Give Coach Semrau credit, Florida State is playing very well.”

Clemson will play at N.C. State in Raleigh, NC Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. in the Lady Tigers next action.
