FSU sports information:

The undefeated and second-ranked Florida State women's soccer team (9-0-1, 4-0-1) begins a three-game home stretch on Sunday afternoon as they take on Boston College (3-8-2, 0-5-0) at the Seminole Soccer Complex. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. and can be seen live on ACC Network Extra. Sunday's match is a whiteout and fans are encouraged to wear white to Sunday's match. The match will also be FSU's Mental Health Awareness match. Players will also be made available for autographs postgame on the concourse of the Seminole Soccer Complex.

Last Time Out
Two second half goals helped FSU keep their unbeaten streak alive in a 2-0 win on a rainy night at Louisville. Taylor Huff scored her fourth goal of the season to break the 0-0 tie, and Maria Alagoa added her second goal of the season to put the icing on the cake. Mimi Van Zanten was credited with an assist on Huff's goal while Kaitlyn Zipay and Ran Iwai picked up assists on Alagoa's goal.

A Star in the Making
Freshman forward Jordynn Dudley has put together one of the best freshman seasons in the country. Dudley has scored seven goals while adding three assists. Dudley is in the middle of back-to-back two-goal matches against No. 1 North Carolina and Miami. Dudley is the only freshman to have three multi-goal games this season. Dudley ranks third among freshman for total goals scored this season and is second in the ACC in total goals but first in the ACC in goals per game.

Suffocating Defense
FSU has once again been one of the top defensive teams in the country. In their last match against Miami, the Seminoles did not allow a single shot. This was the first time the Seminoles have held an opponent to 0 shots since Sept. 8, 2019, against Samford. It was the eighth time the Seminoles have held an opponent to 0 shots and just the third time and first time since 2014 that FSU has held an ACC opponent to 0 shots. FSU is one of just three teams in the country to hold a conference opponent to 0 shots in a match this season.

Finishing Strong
The Seminoles have dominated teams in the final 25 minutes of the match. In the last 25 minutes of their games this season, FSU is outscoring opponents 14-3 with two of those goals being surrendered against No. 1 North Carolina.

Dominating the Second Half
The Seminoles have been unstoppable in the final 45 minutes of their first six matches. In the second half this season, FSU is outscoring their opponents 21-3 compared to just a 7-6 advantage in the first half. Under Head Coach Brian Pensky, the Seminoles have outscored their opponents 62-13 in the second half.

Road Warriors
Florida State is 6-0-1 on the road with two wins and a tie against top 10 teams on the road. FSU defeated No. 9 TCU, 2-0 and beat No. 8 Clemson, 4-2. FSU is unbeaten in their last eight road matches which is the fifth longest streak in school history.

Taking Care of Business
When teams play Florida State, they rarely leave with an upset. FSU has won 45 consecutive games against unranked opponents dating back to Oct. 25, 2018.

Dishing it Out
Taylor Huff leads the Seminoles with seven assists this season and leads the ACC and is second in the country with 0.70 assists per game.

FSU vs. the ACC
The Seminoles have an all-time ACC record of 162-81-28 (.645). Florida State is 130-35-22 (.750) in league play since 2005. Since 2005, FSU is 75-11-7 (.842) against league opponents at home and 55-24-15 (.656) on the road. FSU has finished no lower than second place (including ties) in the ACC 14 times (2005-10, 2012-15, 2019-22) over the last 18 years, claiming five regular season titles (2009, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2022).

Home Sweet Home
Florida State is 194-16-11 (.902) at home since 2005. The Noles are 124-8-8 (.913) in their last 139 matches played at home, dating back to 2011. FSU has 44 wins over ranked opponents during that time.
