Perfection
FSU is off to one of the hottest starts in the country as they are one of two teams to hold a perfect record with no losses and no ties. FSU joins Liberty as the only team to have a perfect record this season.
Jody Brown Doing Jody Brown Things
Jody Brown broke onto the scene as she scored three goals in two games against North Florida and Florida. Brown recorded the game-winning goal against both North Florida and Florida including a goal in the 76th minute to break the 0-0 tie with the Gators.
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.
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 opponent 13-1 compared to just a 5-3 advantage in the first half. Under Head Coach Brian Pensky, the Seminoles have outscored their opponents 54-11 in the second half.
Road Warriors
Florida State is a perfect 4-0 on the road and is the only team in the country to win two games on the road against top 10 opponents. FSU defeated No. 9 TCU, 2-0 and beat No. 8 Clemson, 4-2. FSU has won five consecutive road matches dating back to last season which is tied for the third-longest streak in school history.

This was the first time since from Nov. 12-21, 2021, that the Seminoles have had three consecutive games holding a team under five total shots.
Dishing it Out
Taylor Huff leads the Seminoles with five assists this season and leads the ACC with 0.83 assists per game. That mark also ranks fourth in the NCAA.

FSU sports information:
Onyi Echegini's late-game heroics lifted the No. 3 Florida State women's soccer team (7-0-0, 2-0) in a 3-2 win over Syracuse (2-7-1, 0-2) Thursday night at SU Soccer Stadium in Syracuse, N.Y.
The Orange were the first to score as they took advantage of a misplay by the goalie in the third minute to take a 1-0 lead. The Seminoles quickly responded in the seventh minute as Beata Olsson scored her third goal of the season off a great ball from Ran Iwaii.
The Seminoles surrendered an own goal with just 29 seconds left in the first half to take the lead.
The Seminoles tied the game back up in the 58th minute as Taylor Huff sent in a great corner kick that bounced off an Orange defender and into the net to tie the game at two.
The Seminoles continued to apply pressure on the offensive end recording eight shots on goal over the next 20 minutes. Echegini made some magic happen in the 84th minute as she dribbled through the defense and took a shot just inside the box, and it soared into the back right corner of the net to give the Noles the lead. It was Echegini's sixth goal of the season which leads the team.
The Seminoles were dominant on the offensive side of the ball as they tallied a season-high 32 shots including 19 of them being on goal. The Seminoles 19 shots on goal is the most since Sept. 11, 2022, when they recorded 20 shots on goal against Rice. The Seminoles' 10 second-half corner kicks also tied a school record for most corner kicks in a second half. FSU also forced 16 saves by the Syracuse goalkeeper which was the third-highest total in school history.
The Seminoles will return to action on Sunday as they head to Chapel Hill, N.C. to take on No. 1 North Carolina. Kickoff is set for noon and can be seen live on ESPNU.
