FSU sports information:

The No. 2 Florida State soccer team (6-0-1, 1-0-0 ACC) continues its opening week of conference play with a road match against SMU (6-3-1, 2-0-1 ACC) on Sunday afternoon. The Seminoles currently hold a 13-game unbeaten streak in conference play dating back to 2022.

Florida State faces SMU as conference opponents for the first time and have only met once in the series history. The Seminoles hosted SMU in the 2021 NCAA Tournament Second Round and defeated the Mustangs 5-1 with five different goal scorers en route to a third national championship.

The Seminoles continue to extend and break program records on their impressive run dating back to last season. Florida State has scored in 41 straight games and holds a 30-game unbeaten streak, both of which are program records. FSU has recorded five shutouts in the opening seven games and hasn’t conceded more than two goals in a game in the past 17 matches.

The reigning national champions concluded non-conference play unbeaten for a fifth consecutive season before beginning ACC play with five goals over Syracuse. Wrianna Hudson scored her third goal in her freshman season while Kameron SImmonds and Taylor Huff each scored two goals. All three goalscorers also scored in the 3-0 victory at Florida earlier in the month.

FSU has scored 29 goals through the first seven games, the most in that span since 2009 (32) while holding five shutouts in seven games for the third time this decade.

The Seminoles sent six players representing three nations to the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia. Marianyela Jiménez and Venezuela picked up its first-ever point in the competition while Lara Dantas and Brazil reached the quarterfinals. The four Seminoles for the United States will face the Netherlands in the third place match on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. ET to secure the nation’s best finish since 2012.

The Seminoles and Mustangs will meet at 2 p.m. ET and available to watch on ACC Network.
