With all the rain here in CF, I'm not sure if it went down.
Additionally, Gilchrist, Dudley and Suarez are in U20 training camp right now.
IOW, if it wen down, I don't expect the result we got from Gotham.

Have you heard if that game was played or not?
 
We got a recent commitment from Jaida McGrew, a forward out of Charlotte, NC.
She is rated #44 by TDS, which isn't earth shattering, but it's good. She is a 25 recruit, which means the next class.
Then I googled her highlights. I'm no soccer expert, but these highlights are ECNL highlights and unless I'm just ignorant (a distinct possibility), she is a top 20 or higher talent IMO. What say you?
 
It’s Jenna time.

Florida State soccer continues to make noise on the world stage as former midfielder Jenna Nighswonger has scored her first goal with the United States women's national team (USWNT).

In the United State's first game of the Gold Cup on Tuesday against the Dominican Republic, in the 86th minute up 3-0, Nighswonger was awarded a PK and did not miss. The U.S. won 5-

They did play and quite rainy as you mentioned. I think fsu lost something like 5-0. KC current had some content on X.
 
Did they play Orlando this past Sunday?
 
PIcked this up from Facebook responses to pictures from FSU Soccer.

Impressive showing today. Im encouraged by the new keeper. ??
Jordan Dudley was as awesome as ever.
Great showing by Taylor Huff and Jodie Brown as well.
#18 was impressive but she isn’t named in any roster yet.
Only critique, passing needs to get tighter.

Apparently 18 was Wrianna Hudson.
 
I believe Amaya Ross from Softball can get close to 4.4!
She would lucky to run a 4.6 to 4.7. Men and women run at entirely different speeds. That said, Amaya's speed as compared to other softball players is Among the Elite.

For some reason c691027 desperately wants to believe that an FSU female athlete can run a 4.4 but it's just not going to happen. Amaya would probably go 4.8-4.9, as would Olson, Dudley, or Brown. That's elite speed for a woman. As you mentioned men and women run entirely different speeds.

Our U20 team played Germany to a 0-0 tie. For I'd estimate 60% of the time Germany looked better.
JD did not go in until 12 minutes left in regulation.
She created more havoc and opportunities in that time than any other forward we had. She laid off one pass that should have been a goal.
That coach is a MORON!

If you actually read through this post you'd see that C691027 really really cares. I actually couldn't care less what their 40 times are but when I see someone suggest that Olson would run a 4.30 it is a bit of a head scratcher. So the moral of the story is don't make outlandish comments and not expect someone to reel you back to reality lol.

Thanks for sharing! You give her half a game as far as minutes, she scores or sets someone else up. That is dumb nor to play her more that 12 minutes!!!
 
We lost some really key players and studs.
Leilani Nesbeth and Echegini, Brown and Olsson and Flynn were all studs. IMO Echegini and Nesbeth will be the toughest to replace.
I believe we have brought in more than enough talent to replace what we lost and more.
The problem is, other than the transfers, they are not yet experienced on the FSU level. The Flynn, Olsson, Brown, Echegini and Nesbeth we saw last year WERE NOT the same players their first year in college.
We can hope that a couple of them will make the transition as easily as Dudley did.
We really need the transfers to be rocks as they learn the system.
They will certainly have the opportunities, b/c ?6 of these newcomers will miss about a month for the U20 WWC..
Bottom line IMO, is that we have the talent (*most depth ever) to repeat. Will we gel like last year's team?
AS to UNC, they will be the most shallow team in over 30 years. I don't expect them to be in the top 4 in the conference.
I expect FSU and Stanford to occupy 1 and 2 in some order. Unfortunately, I don't believe we play them in the regular season.
Hope this helps.

Hey, I know we have 5, maybe 6 players on National teams and that overlaps the start of the season. Do you know exactly how many players will miss the first part of the season. I know how much they miss depends on how deep each of their teams go but when is the WC done by? Thanks!!

The 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Femenina Sub-20 de la FIFA Colombia 2024) will be the 11th edition of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the biennial international women's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament has been expanded by FIFA to feature 24 teams.[1]

It will be hosted by Colombia from 31 August to 22 September 2024. It will be the third time that Colombia has hosted a FIFA tournament. It will also be the first time that Colombia has hosted a FIFA women's tournament.[2]

Spain are the defending champions.

"We don't have the official schedule yet, but I took this from another site and a poster who does tons of research.

Here's what I have, without yet having seen their schedule to be sure these are correct. @ means away; v means home.

8/15 @ South Florida
8/18 v N Florida
8/22 v South Carolina
8/29 v Georgia
9/1 v Villanova
9/8 @ Florida
9/19 v Syracuse
9/22 @SMU
9/27 v Clemson
10/3 @ Wake Forest
10/6 @ Virginia Tech
10/12 @ Boston College
10/17 v Virginia
10/20 v Pittsburgh
10/25 v North Carolina
10/31 @ Miami FL

That is 16 games, which is a little low in number although within the range of reasonable possibility. There is a pretty big gap between the end of non-conference games and the beginning of conference play. It is possible they still are looking for one more game to put in that gap."

I would assume all players would be available for the first couple of games. Don't know when they head to U20 WWC, but I would guess 5-7 days ahead. If they win everything, then Sept 22 would be their last game. Then give them a week to get home, acclimate and rest. I would have them available at least by WF on 10/3. Now if they lose earlier...
They will have the full month of October to gel and get ready for conference and the NCAA tournaments.

Thanks for sharing the schedule. Seems like we get the best teams at home.

This is a picture of Claire Rain WITHOUT a knee brace. She is less than 12 months removed from a serious multi-ligament knee injury. If she is good to go, that would be amazing, not to mention very helpful to our team.user generated

Do you know if the exhibition match against TCU on August the 9th will be streamed in any form?
