FSU-SMU Duel Ends With 1-1 Draw

DALLAS - The No. 2 Florida State soccer team (6-0-2) settled for a 1-1 draw in the first road conference game against SMU (6-3-2) on Sunday afternoon. FSU maintains its 31-game unbeaten streak in competition dating back to 2022.

The match began with chances for both sides, Florida State's best offensive moment in the first half came off a well-placed cross from Ran Iwai finding Taylor Huff as her header glanced just wide of the frame.

Sophomore goalkeeper Addie Todd was tasked with a fiery Mustangs attack and made several highlight reel saves including an instinctive glove save at her near post inside the first five minutes.

FSU committed a foul inside its own box to concede a penalty to SMU. After the initial kick was ruled back for encroachment, Addie Todd made an incredible penalty stop as she dove down to her right side and pushed the shot away to keep the game level going into halftime.

SMU opened the scoring just before the second-half water break with 20 minutes to go. The Seminoles wasted no time as Marianyela Jiménez laid the ball off to Ashlyn Puerta outside the box before the 17-year old unleashed a ferocious strike just under the crossbar to level the game at 1-1. The freshman scored her third goal of the season and either contributed a goal or assist in the last three games.

Florida State will return home to face College Cup semifinalists Clemson on Thursday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and available to watch on ACC Network.
