\nKEY MOMENTS<\/p>\n


\n\tIndiana (4-0) got off to a 7-0 start that turned into an 11-2 lead with 5:03 to go in the first quarter. The Seminoles made a push late in the period, putting up back-to-back 3-pointers to come within two, 13-11.
\n\tBut Ciezki and Socka-Nguemen combined to back-to-back buckets for IU who led 17-12 at the end of one. The lead grew to six on a redshirt sophomore guard Len\u00e9e Beaumont 3-pointer, 22-16.
\n\tIt was then that FSU (3-2) added a 6-0 run to tie the game up at 22-all with 5:22 to go before the half. Beaumont kept the lead with Indiana with five-straight points but were matched with another Florida State run to knot the game at 29-29.
\n\tSocka-Nguemen’s and-1 with 1:12 was the difference at half, with Indiana holding a 31-29 edge. To open the third, Indiana pushed its lead to five off a second-chance opportunity from Valentyna Kadlecova<\/a>. But the rest of the third belonged to the Seminoles, who got 12 points from senior guard Jasmine Shaver and a 56-50 lead.
\n\tIndiana’s fourth-quarter comeback was mounted by a 9-0 run with five points from Ciezki with 7:08 to go. It was one of three ties and three lead changes in the final 10 minutes. Facing a one-point deficit, Beaumont would give IU its lead back for good on a floater just outside the paint with 5:43 to go.
\n\tIn the final push, FSU came within two with 1:33 to go but a Socka-Nguemen putback and a drive to the rim from senior guard Jerni Kiaku<\/a> kept Indiana up four with just 15 seconds remaining. <\/p>\n

NOTABLE<\/p>\n


\n\tBeaumont set a new career-high 23 points and went 8-for-12 from the floor and a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc. She also had five rebounds and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the line.
\n\tSocka-Nguemen had her third double-double of the season with 11 points and a team-high 13 rebounds while adding two assists and a steal.
\n\tCiezki also finished the night with her third 20-point game of the season with 22 points, three assists and three rebounds.
\n\tIndiana head coach Teri Moren<\/a> secured her 250th win as Indiana’s head coach. The 12th year leader is already the program’s all-time wins leader (set in 2023).
\n\tJunior forward Edessa Noyan<\/a> had a season-high eight points and hit her first 3-pointer in an IU uniform.
\n\tThe Hoosiers limited Florida State to just two 3-pointers on the night, holding them nine under their average of 11.3 per game. <\/p>\n
