After a rare absence from the Women's College World Series in 2024, FSU is looking to get back to its winning ways in 2025 and have the pieces to do so. Since 2014, FSU has never had back-to-back seasons where they did not make the Women's College World Series (excluding 2020 when the WCWS was not held due to COVID-19). FSU returns two NFCA All-Americans in Jaysoni Beachum and Michaela Edenfield. The last time FSU returned two or more NFCA All-Americans was in 2018 when Jessi Warren and Morgan Klaevmann returned from All-America campaigns in 2017. FSU went on to win the National Championship in 2018.
The Seminoles also added some key pieces and depth in the circle as they hope to continue the great pitching legacy under Alameda. FSU returns Second Team All-ACC pitcher Ashtyn Danley who led the Noles in innings pitched in the 2024 season. 2023 All-ACC performer Makenna Reid returns for the Noles and is healthy following a back injury late in the 2024 season. FSU also returns Mimi Gooden who pitched 54.1 innings for the Noles as a freshman in 2024 and came on late in the postseason. FSU adds three key pieces to the circle in transfers Julia Apsel (Hofstra) and Annabelle Widra (Auburn) and also freshman Jazzy Francik. Apsel and Widra have combined to throw 567.2 innings in their collegiate careers. Francik was ranked a top 10 pitcher coming out of high school by Softball America. FSU also brings in the No. 5 recruiting class in the country in Francik, Addie DeLong, Shelby McKenzie and Isabella Ruggiero.
The Seminoles begin the season on Feb. 6-8 at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge where they will face No. 4 Oklahoma State twice, Louisiana Tech twice and Northern Colorado in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. All of the games in Puerto Vallarta can be seen on FloSports.
