Last Time Out
Jordynn Dudley scored two goals in the second half, and the Seminoles' defense put together a historic defensive performance as No. 2 FSU beat rival Miami 2-0. Dudley recorded her second consecutive multi-goal game for the Seminoles. FSU did not allow a single shot against the Hurricanes. This is the first time that Sept. 8, 2019, against Samford and just the third time against an ACC opponent that the Seminoles have not allowed a shot.
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 freshmen 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.
Comeback Kids
FSU pulled off an impressive comeback against No. 8 Clemson. After the Tigers scored two goals in the first 20 minutes, the Seminoles rallied to score four unanswered goals to defeat the Tigers. It was the Seminoles' largest comeback since Sept. 18, 2014, against Connecticut. It was just the sixth time in school history that FSU has come back from two goals to win a game.
The Seminoles had to come back against Syracuse as they trailed 2-1 at halftime. FSU rallied with two goals in the second half to take the match. This was the first time since the 2011 season that FSU has had back-to-back comeback wins.
The Seminoles continued their comeback ways against No. 1 North Carolina. After the Tar Heels took the lead with just under five minutes to go, the Seminoles had one last chance with under 10 seconds to go. Taylor Huff sent in a corner kick that deflected right to Mimi Van Zanten who scored with two seconds left.
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 12-3 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 19-3 compared to just a 7-6 advantage in the first half. Under Head Coach Brian Pensky, the Seminoles have outscored their opponents 60-13 in the second half.
Road Warriors
Florida State is 5-0-1 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 won six consecutive road matches dating back to last season which is tied for the second-longest streak in school history.
Taking Care of Business
When teams play Florida State, they rarely leave with an upset. FSU has won 44 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 0.78 assists per game.
