Myers averaged 13.3 points, on 53.8 percent shooting from the floor, and 8.7 rebounds as Florida State began the season with three straight wins over Troy (103-67), North Florida (74-53) and Florida (63-56). She led Florida State in field goal percentage and blocked shots (9) in those three wins, including five blocks in her Seminole debut against Troy.
