Tiffany McCarty came to Florida State from Laurel, Maryland in 2008, and left as one of the most decorated players in the history of the Seminole women's soccer program.
McCarty was a star for the Seminoles from the day she walked on campus and became a starter in the first match of her career. She scored 11 goals and added six assists for 28 total points as a freshman and it only got better from there. McCarty scored her single-season career-high of 18 goals as a junior and scored 11 goals or more in each of her four seasons as a Seminole. She averaged nearly 16 goals scored per season and totaled 14 career game-winning goals.
McCarty was named the 2008 ACC Freshman of the Year making her the first in school history as well as Freshman All-American. She earned First Team All-American honors in two of her final three seasons and finished her career as a three-time All-ACC performer. She led the Seminoles to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances - to the Elite 8 in 2008 and 2009 and the National Semifinals in 2011 and 2012. She is Florida State's all-time leader in goals scored (63) and total points (150), third all-time for game-winning goals and is tied for 10th in assists (24).
McCarty has represented the U.S.A. at several different levels and was a member of the U.S. Under-23 national team in 2013. She was selected in the first round of the 2013 NWSL Draft by the Washington Spirit and is currently a professional player in Iceland.
