Johnson would finish the contest with a game-best 24 points, leading the Canes to victory - the first win in nearly 25 years at Florida State.
Johnson currently has 2,117 points and needs just 67 to pass Frances Savage (1988-92) for third place on the school all-time scoring list.
Riquna Joins the Group
The Canes are treated to a pair of offensively gifted guards. In UM's last game against Clemson on Feb. 5, Riquna Williams reached the 2,000-point milestone herself. The Pahokee, Fla. native needed six points to reach the mark and she did so quickly, hitting two first-half three-pointers. She ended the game with 15 points. Miami is the only team in the nation with two 2,000-point scorers.
Williams currently ranks fifth in program history with 2,028 points.

The Hurricanes were also ranked No. 7 in the preseason Associated Press Poll.
