Perkins graduate Cierra Bravard and the Florida State Seminoles women’s basketball team are that much closer to another regular-season conference title.

Two games away to be exact.

The No. 12 Florida State women’s basketball defeated No. 17 Maryland, 72-66 on Sunday, led by Bravard’s 14 points. The Seminoles now control their own destiny as far as a regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference championship is concerned, now just needing a win at Miami and at home against Clemson to finish in at least a tie at the top of the league pile.

FSU’s victory also moves its record to 22-5 overall and to 10-2 in league play. The ‘Noles have now won at least 10 ACC contests in a school-record three consecutive seasons.
