Getting Hot
FSU forward Onyi Echegini has been very impressive all season but has taken her game to another level in the past three games. In the last three games against Notre Dame, Pitt and Duke, Echegini has scored five goals and has emerged as the ACC's leading goal scorer while playing in three fewer games than the rest of the teams in the ACC. Echegini has scored 10+ goals in back-to-back seasons and is the first Nole to accomplish that feat since DeynaCastellanos in 2018-19. Echegini also became the first FSU player to win back-to-back ACC Player of the Week awards.

Dudley is tied for fourth among freshmen for total goals scored this season and is tied for third in the ACC in total goals but is second in the ACC in goals per game behind teammate Onyi Echegini.
