Seminoles Fire Eight Goals In NCAA Tournament First Round
11/15/2024 8:12:00 PM | Women's Soccer
FSU wasted no time establishing its authority on the run of play as Sophia Nguyen sent in a dangerous floating cross that Jordynn Dudley met mid-air and headed down for a towering opening goal to kickoff the postseason. Dudley scored her fifth career tournament goal and has scored in three consecutive postseason matches dating back to last year's College Cup Semifinals.
Dudley recorded her next point just a few minutes later as Carissa Boeckmann dispatched her first-ever goal for the garnet and gold. Taylor Suarez was able to deal her second consecutive assist off to Marianyela Jiménez who fired a tight shot into the bottom corner off a tough angle to put the Seminoles up three goals going into the break.
FSU continued its fiery attack as ACC All-Tournament honoree Solai Washington notched a quick goal coming out of the half. Huff connected with Dudley to make it a handful, the two leaders in scoring eclipsed 60 combined points. Olivia Lebdaoui curled her effort into the top right corner before Wrianna Hudson scored an incredible goal off the crossbar to send the home crowd into full roar.
Ashlyn Puerta finished the game off with a clean strike to score the record-breaking goal, eight goals becomes the most scored in a single postseason game in program history. This marks the most goals scored by FSU in the NCAA Tournament since defeating Mississippi Valley State by seven goals in 2008. FSU has recorded five games with five plus goals this season.
Dudley recorded an incredible offensive performance with her first career six-point game with two goals and two assists in just 46 minutes of action. The All-ACC First Team honoree has recorded 27 total points and leads the team with 11 total assists.
Florida State will host the second and third rounds of the NCAA Tournament beginning on Friday afternoon.
