TALLAHASSEE – Florida State Women’s Basketball student-athletes Ta’Niya Latson and Makayla Timpson were each named to the All-ACC First Team, announced on Tuesday on ACC PM.

Timpson added to her awards list by also being selected to the ACC All-Defensive Team. Timpson and Latson are the first set of FSU teammates to be named to the All-ACC First Team in the same year since Kiah Gillespie and Nicki Ekhomu in 2020.

Timpson is also just the fourth Seminole to make the All-ACC First Team and All-Defensive Team in the same year, joining Jacinta Monroe, Natasha Howard and Morgan Jones. It is Timpson’s second consecutive ACC All-Defensive Team honor after making the team last year.

The Edison, Ga., native has enjoyed a career year in helping guide the Seminoles to a second straight 12-win season in ACC play. Timpson leads the conference in field goal percentage (57.7 percent) and blocked shots (81), leading the next closest player in the ACC by 21 blocks.

Timpson is closing in on two single-season records at FSU. Her 15 double-doubles this season tie Natasha Howard’s single-season mark set back in the 2013-14 season, with Timpson’s next one being the record breaker. She also has 81 blocked shots this year, which is four away from surpassing Monroe’s lofty mark of 84 set in the 2008-09 year.

Latson has produced a remarkable sophomore season, tying for the ACC lead with six 30-point games in conference play. The Miami, Fla., native is averaging 21.4 points, shooting 43.9 percent overall, picking up 4.2 rebounds per game as well as 4.4 assists per game.

Latson repeats as a first-team selection after elevating her production in ACC play, where she averaged 22.7 points per game and was fifth in the league with 4.9 assists per game. She had a signature stretch of three consecutive 30-point games vs. Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and NC State early in conference play.
