Soccer FSU to play at Boston College on Saturday

FSU sports information:

The No. 22 Florida State soccer team (7-2-2, 2-2-1 ACC) hits the road for a third straight game to face Boston College (10-3-1, 2-2-1 ACC) on Saturday night.

Florida State faces BC for a fourth straight season and has won the last four meetings. The latest matchup in Tallahassee saw five different goal scorers for the Seminoles including a first and second career goal from Peyton Nourse in the 6-0 victory.

Jordynn Dudley scored her first goal since returning from the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup at Virginia Tech while Carissa Boeckmann sent in a pitch-perfect cross to Lara Dantas for the fourth goal in her rookie campaign.

Taylor Huff leads the squad in all scoring categories with eight goals and five assists for 21 total points inside September. Huff is the fastest to reach 20+ points in the past five seasons and is only 7 points away from reaching her point tally from last season.

The freshman class has performed well with 40 total points, 13 goals, and 14 assists across six players. This marks the most freshmen goal contributions in the past five seasons across all three metrics. Wrianna Hudson and Ashlyn Puerta have each scored three goals and provided four assists while Dantas has scored four goals with two assists.

FSU has scored 36 goals in 11 games this season, the most in that span since 2009 (42). The defense has kept 11 clean sheets since the 2023 ACC Championship victory.

The two sides will kickoff at 7 p.m. and is available to stream on ACC Network Extra. Live video and stats will be available at Seminoles.com.

currently committed to UCF, Jayvan Boggs. The Cocoa standout is among the most productive in the country at the position. Boggs tells Rivals that FSU has long been an offer he had an eye on and now that it is in, an official visit could be soon scheduled. Not locked in yet, but the Seminoles have talked to Boggs about the UNC game weekend coming up the first weekend in November.

Definitely something to eye should the logistics get nailed down.

Cross Country FSU Cross Country Invitational coming up Friday

FSU sports information:

The No.27/RV Florida State Cross Country teams will host the annual FSU XC Invitational on Friday at Apalachee Regional Park, which will serve as the Seminole’s Heritage event.

"We are beyond excited to be racing at home on our renowned cross country course,” said FSU women’s head coach Cody Halsey. “We love the opportunity for our wonderful and supportive community to be able to attend our meets. The ladies are excited and are feeling great. We are all looking forward to Friday.”

The men’s 8k will start at 7:40 a.m., followed by the women’s 5k at 8:20 a.m. Live timing will be available.

Senior Jane Eiselstein won the women’s 6k at the Georgia Tech XC Invitational, leading the Noles to their second team victory of the season behind a tally of 34 points. The Chattanooga, Tenn., native crossed the finish line with a winning time of 21:48.2. Eiselstein captured the ACC Women’s Performer of the Week honors for her efforts.

“While our competition squad is small, I’m looking forward to seeing how these guys compete on the ARP tomorrow,” said assistant coach Ian Frazier. “Any opportunity we have to compete on our home course is something we value greatly, especially in a year where we are hosting such an important meet like the NCAA South Regional meet.”

The men’s team remained in the top 30 of the USTFCCCA nationals rankings for the second consecutive week at No.27, after Kaden Levings opened his collegiate career in the 8k securing his first career win with a time of 25:07.6. The Colorado Springs, Colorado native collected the ACC Men’s Performer of the week for his strong performance.

“All signs in training point to a successful day out here tomorrow, especially for our Seniors Patrick Donnelly, Wynne Thomas, and Lucas Bouquot, who get to experience our world-class home atmosphere in conjunction with our Heritage week,” added Frazier. “Special thanks to Visit Tallahassee for their work to make this course immaculate for the competition. Go Noles!”
