The No. 7 Florida State soccer team (6-0-2, 1-0-1 ACC) hosts Clemson (4-3-2, 0-2-0 ACC) in a rematch of both the ACC Championship and College Cup Semifinals from last season. The Seminoles currently hold a 14-game unbeaten streak in conference play dating back to 2022.

Due to the forecasted path and expected strengthening of Hurricane Helene, Florida State’s home soccer game against Clemson was postponed from Thursday to Saturday at 6 p.m. Additional updates will be communicated as necessary via social and Seminoles.com.

Florida State meets Clemson for the 37th time, tied at third for the most played opponent in program history. The Seminoles have won the last eight matches over the Tigers dating back to 2018, including three victories last season.

FSU scored four straight goals on the road to defeat Clemson in the regular season before Onyi Echegini’s brace in the 2023 ACC Championship propelled the Seminoles to a fourth straight conference title. Florida State completed the third victory over the Tigers with goals from Kaitlyn Zipay and Jordynn Dudley to advance to the national championship match.

The Seminoles continue to extend and break program records on their impressive run dating back to last season. Florida State has scored in 42 straight games and holds a 31-game unbeaten streak, both of which are program records. FSU has recorded five shutouts to start the season and hasn’t conceded more than two goals in a game in the past 18 matches.

The reigning national champions concluded non-conference play unbeaten for a fifth consecutive season before beginning the first week of ACC play with six goals. Taylor Huff and Kameron Simmonds each scored two goals in the victory over Syracuse before Ashlyn Puerta scored the game-tying goal at SMU.

FSU has scored 30 goals in the opening eight games, the most in that span since 2009 (33) while conceding just four goals since the 2023 ACC Championship.

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 representing the United States earned bronze after an extra time victory over the Netherlands.

Gates are scheduled to open at 5 p.m. and general admission is free. The 6 p.m. game will stream on ACC Network Extra.
