FSU sports information:
The No. 22 Florida State soccer team (8-2-2, 3-2-1 ACC) used a clinical second-half goal from Jordynn Dudley to take a 1-0 road victory over Boston College (10-4-1, 2-3-1 ACC). FSU extends its scoring streak to 46 straight games, the longest in program history.
Both sides had good chances to start as Heather Gilchrist blocked a charging Boston College shot early before Kameron Simmonds nearly snuck the game’s first goal in off a corner kick.
FSU nearly took the lead just before the break as Wrianna Hudson had tucked a shot away at the front post before being called for offsides. Taylor Huff’s shot off a free kick was tantalizingly close to the opener as it drifted just wide.
After the several close chances, Huff charged toward the open midfield space and found Dudley off the flank, allowing the reigning national freshman of the year to drive into the box and squeeze a powerful low shot across goal and into the bottom left corner. Dudley scored her third goal in just her fourth start this season.
Hudson and Dudley continued to pressure and stress the Eagles defense but the Boston College keeper made some timely stops to keep the game at one score.
Dudley has scored in back-to-back games for the first time since lifting the program’s fourth national championship against Stanford and has scored two goals and two assists in the past four matches.
Florida State will return home after three straight road games and will host No. 25 Virginia on Thursday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and available to watch on ESPNU.
