CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. β Florida State Womenβs Basketball earned its largest comeback win of the season on Thursday night at John Paul Jones Arena, defeating Virginia, 77-68, after trailing by 13 points near the end of the third quarter.
The Seminolesβ (17-4, 6-2) comeback win eclipses the 11-point deficit they overcame when defeating Kent State on the road this season. Senior guard Sara Bejedi delivered 12 of her 15 points in a decisive fourth quarter where FSU out-scored the Cavaliers (14-5, 3-5), 27-8.

Near the end of the third quarter, FSU trailed 60-47 before OβMariah Gordon hit a much needed 3-point field goal to cut the deficit to 60-50 heading into the fourth.
Thatβs when Bejedi stepped up for the Noles, hitting a few dagger 3-point field goals and salting the game away with free throws.
