⚽️ Seminoles Triumph to Claim ACC Crown

In a thrilling finale to the ACC Tournament, the indomitable Florida State Seminoles clinched their fourth consecutive championship with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over the Clemson Tigers.

This remarkable win not only extends their championship streak but also etches their name in history with a second instance of four straight ACC Championships, a feat they last achieved from 2013 to 2016.

The Seminoles' journey to the top was marked by a season of undefeated prowess, culminating in both the ACC Tournament and regular season championships.

Their impressive record in Cary, N.C., now stands at 20-8-6, a testament to their consistency and dominance in the tournament's history.

The match against Clemson showcased the Seminoles' relentless attack, with Onyi Echegini leading the charge by netting her 12th and 13th goals of the season, solidifying her position as the team's top scorer.

Jordynn Dudley and Beata Olsson played pivotal roles, contributing assists that were crucial in FSU's offensive strategy.

Despite Clemson's robust challenge, which saw them equalize in the first half, FSU's determination shone through in the second half with a barrage of shots that eventually broke the deadlock.

Goalkeeper Cristina Roque's saves were instrumental in maintaining the lead, reflecting FSU's all-around strength.

As the Seminoles gear up for the NCAA Tournament, expectations are high for them to secure a top seed, potentially the No. 1 overall, thanks to their No. 1 position in the RPI.

With the first round looming, FSU's sights are firmly set on extending their undefeated run and aiming for glory at the Women's College Cup in December.

Stay tuned for the NCAA Tournament field announcement and get ready to support our Seminoles as they continue their quest for national supremacy!

The starting lineup featured Jamir Watkins, Baba Miller, Cameron Corhen, Jalen Warley, and Darin Green Jr., but the strength of the team was evident as FSU deployed 16 players throughout the game.

Watkins, a transfer from VCU, was the standout performer with a stat-stuffing line of 19 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and six steals. Miller and Cam'Ron Fletcher also made significant contributions, with Miller adding 12 points and Fletcher providing a spark with 12 points and five rebounds.

Despite some shooting struggles in the first half, FSU's defense was relentless, forcing 17 turnovers and converting them into 14 points.

The Seminoles improved their shooting in the second half, finishing the game with a 43.6% field goal percentage and adding 40 bench points to their tally.

The team's aggressive play was also on display as they recorded 20 steals and eight blocks, emphasizing their defensive prowess.

Seminoles Gear Up for High Stakes Showdown and Stellar Recruiting Weekend

The Florida State Seminoles, riding the high of an undefeated season, are gearing up for a high-stakes clash with the Miami Hurricanes—a rivalry that's about more than just bragging rights. As the Seminoles stand as double-digit favorites, the anticipation in Tallahassee is palpable, not only for the potential of a third consecutive triumph over Miami but also for the impact this game could have off the field.

FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium is set to be a cauldron of excitement come November 11th, with the team opening as a 13-point favorite against the Hurricanes. The game, which will be televised on ABC, is expected to draw a massive crowd, bolstered by the presence of top-tier recruits who will be watching closely as the Seminoles seek to extend their 15-game winning streak.

Among the recruits, the spotlight shines on DJ Pickett, a five-star safety whose commitment could send shockwaves through the national recruiting landscape.
