FSU sports information:

The No. 1 Florida State soccer team (3-0-0) hosts its first ranked match of the season against No. 16 Georgia (1-1-1) on Thursday evening. The Seminoles currently hold a program record 26 game unbeaten streak and have not conceded a goal in the past five regular season non-conference games.

FSU will host Georgia for the first time since 2004. The Seminoles have defeated the Bulldogs in their last three meetings, including a 3-1 victory in Athens last time the two sides met.

The Seminoles continue to extend and break program records on their impressive run dating back to last season’s national championship. Florida State has scored in 37 straight games, holds a 26-game unbeaten streak and possesses an 18-game winning streak, all of which are program bests. FSU also holds an 18-game home winning streak dating back to 2022, one shy of the second-longest streak set back in 2015.

The reigning national champions have remained perfect through the first two weeks of the season and recorded a strong 3-0 victory over Rice this past week. Ashlyn Puerta opened the scoring with a long-range effort that launched into the top right corner before Wrianna Hudson and Lara Dantas each scored to put the game to rest.

The Seminoles have scored 18 goals through the first three games which equals the team’s most since 2009 and have yet to concede through the first three games for the third time in five seasons. FSU has conceded just one goal since last season’s ACC Championship victory with eight shutouts.

All six freshmen outfield players have recorded a point through the opening portion of the season and five players have registered a goal. Dantas and Puerta lead the group with two goals each while Hudson has provided two assists along with her first career goal.

Gates will open at 6 p.m. and general admission is free. All students attending will be eligible for a free koozie upon entry. The 7 p.m. game will be available to stream on ACC Network Extra.
