TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Leticia Romero scored 19 and grabbed seven rebounds, and Shakayla Thomas added 13 and 10 to lead No. 20 Florida State women to a 58-43 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Romero and Thomas combined to make 14 of 24 (58.3 percent) field goals while the rest of the team shot 26.8 percent.

Florida State (16-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) shot 46 percent and forced 13 Pitt turnovers in the first half and took a 32-14 lead into halftime.

A layup by Yacine Diop gave Pitt (11-5, 1-2) a 4-2 lead, but the Panthers missed their next nine shots and committed six turnovers over the next 8:13 while Florida State rattled off 18-straight points.

The Seminoles led by double digits the rest of the way.

Diop and Monica Wignot led the Panthers with 10 points apiece. Brianna Kiesel, who came into the game averaging 18.1 points, was limited to six on 3-of-11 shooting.
