TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Maegan Conwright scored 17 points and Shakayla Thomas added 13 points and 10 rebounds as No. 17 Florida State stunned No. 4 Louisville 68-63 on Thursday night.
Louisville's Megan Deines missed a 3-pointer with a second left that could have sent the game to overtime. The Cardinals fouled, and Thomas made two free throws to seal the victory.
It was Florida State's biggest win since a victory in January 2009 over No. 3 Texas A&M.
Florida State (18-2, 5-1 ACC) led 21-1 at the 13:10 mark of the first half on a Conwright jumper. But Louisville gradually clawed back into the game and trailed just 35-32 at halftime.
Sara Hammond had 14 of her 19 points in the second half for Louisville (17-2, 5-1). Jude Schimmel added 14 points and eight rebounds.
