Baylor women in 3rd straight Elite 8 after 78-58 win over Florida State

DALLAS -- Nina Davis scored 30 points and Baylor is going to the Elite Eight for the third straight year after a 78-58 victory over Florida State on Saturday.

The Lady Bears (36-1), the No. 1 seed in the Dallas Regional, went ahead to stay with a 15-3 run to end the first quarter after an early flurry of turnovers led to frustrated coach Kim Mulkey calling timeout.

Alexis Jones added 15 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Baylor, which has a 23-game winning streak. Khadijiah Cave had 10 rebounds.

Leticia Romero had 11 points for fifth-seeded Florida State (25-8), which made consecutive Sweet 16 appearances for the first time in school history.
