TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Imani Wright scored 24 points, leading four into double figures, as 13th-ranked Florida State defeated Jacksonville 82-50 on Thursday night - the twelfth time in 13 games four or more have reached double-figure scoring for the Seminoles.

The Seminoles are 4-0 against other Florida schools this season.

Thomas, shooting 7 of 12 from the floor, is tied with Natasha Howard for second in the FSU record books with 711 career field goals made. AJ Alix had 11 of Florida State's 15 assists.
