Florida State currently leads the series at 16-13-0 and has defeated the Gators in the last six meetings. During that six game stretch, FSU has outscored Florida 16-3 with two five-goal victories within that time. Last year’s matchup required a late game-winning goal from Jody Brown en route to an unbeaten national championship season.
The Seminoles continue to extend and break program records on their impressive run dating back to last season. Florida State has scored in 39 straight games and holds a 28-game unbeaten streak, both of which are program records. FSU has recorded four shutouts in the opening five games and have conceded just two goals in the past 10 games.
The reigning national champions finished the first month of play unbeaten and wrapped up the four-game homestand with a solid 2-0 victory over Villanova on Sunday afternoon. Mimi Van Zanten scored her third goal of the season off a corner kick before Taylor Huff finished off the contest with her fifth goal in five games. Huff and Van Zanten lead the team with 21 combined points.
FSU has scored 21 goals through the first five games, the most goals scored in that time since 2009 while conceding just one goal in the opening five games for the first time since 2020.
The Seminoles have sent six players representing three nations to the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia. Lara Dantas and Brazil steamrolled through their first two games to qualify for the knockout round. Dantas scored the first goal of the tournament for Brazil in the 9-0 victory over Fiji before defeating France 3-0. Brazil will look to finish top of Group B with a win or draw over Canada.
The United States bounced back from a loss to reigning champions Spain with a 2-0 victory over Morocco and will look to seal qualification with a result over Paraguay. Marianyela Jiménez and Venezuela picked up its first-ever point in the competition with a 0-0 draw against South Korea and can qualify for the knockout round with a win over Nigeria on Saturday.
