FLORIDA STATE - Alicia “Ice” Gladden, Guard, Orange Park, Fla. (2003-07)
A four-year guard from Orange Park, Fla., Alicia “Ice” Gladden earned her nickname for her smooth style of play as a crafty left-hander. Gladden left an indelible impact on the Florida State women’s basketball program, helping lead its rise to prominence from 2003-07. The former Orange Park High School standout was one of the most versatile players to ever don the Garnet and Gold, ranking first in school history with 275 career steals and being one of just 11 Seminoles to finish with 1,400 or more points in a career. Gladden emerged as one of the ACC’s best in her time in Tallahassee, being named an All-ACC Third Team member in 2006 and 2007, and also garnering ACC Honorable Mention honors as a sophomore in 2005. Gladden excelled on both ends of the court for the Seminoles, holding the honor as the only player in program history to earn ACC All-Defensive Team recognition three times.

Gladden’s smarts on the court also transferred to the classroom, as she twice was named to the All-ACC Academic Team and earned ACC Academic Honor Roll honors four times. Sadly, Gladden’s life ended on April 19, 2013, when she was a fatal victim of a drunk driving accident caused by another driver as she was returning home after coaching a Creekside High School basketball game in St. Johns, Fla.
