 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Florida State took care of one tradition-rich program and will have an even bigger task ahead in the next round. Britany Miller scored 20 points and the Seminoles shot 58 percent to beat Old Dominion 85-75 in a physical first-round game of the Fresno Regional on Saturday.
Tenth-seeded Florida State (23-9), making a third straight tournament trip for the first time in school history and seventh appearance overall, waited as second-seeded Stanford beat Big Sky champion Idaho State 96-58 in the second game to set up a rematch of last year's second-round matchup won 88-70 by the Pac-10 champion Cardinal.
Tanae Davis-Cain and Alicia Gladden each scored 11 points in the first 13 minutes, with Davis-Cain knocking down three 3-pointers during that span and Gladden making all five of her first-half shots. Davis-Cain finished with 24 points, Gladden added 18 points, six assists and two steals and Mara Freshour had 12 points and six assists. Florida State converted 11 of 12 free throws over the final 3:10.
