FSU Draws UVA, Falls in PKs in ACC First Round
11/2/2025 11:52:00 PM | Women's Soccer
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 6-ranked and fourth seeded Florida State soccer team played to a 0-0 draw against No. 7-ranked and fifth-seeded Virginia in the first round of the ACC Championship before UVA advanced in the penalty shootout on Sunday night at the Seminole Soccer Complex.
In a matchup between two teams that tied for fourth place in the ACC standings, and in a rematch of a regular-season contest just 10 days before, the Seminoles (10-2-4) and Cavaliers (12-2-4) did not score a goal in 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods. Following 110 minutes, UVA advanced 6-5 in the penalty shootout to move on to the ACC Semifinals.
Florida State outshot Virginia 23-13 with an 8-4 advantage in shots on goal. FSU earned 13 corner kicks to UVA's five. Sophomore forward Wrianna Hudson led all players with seven shots and five shots on goal. Freshman goalkeeper Kate Ockene recorded a career-high four saves, while her Virginia counterpart also had a career best with eight saves.
The result, which statistically qualifies as a goalless tie, extends FSU's unbeaten streak against UVA to six in a row.
Making its 31st ACC Championship appearance, Florida State's streak of five consecutive ACC Championship titles will come to an end. The Seminoles are the only team to make the postseason tournament every year in their program's history, and they will remain second all-time with 11 postseason championships.
Sophomore midfielder Taylor Suarez had the first opportunity on goal of the night, and FSU's second shot, firing a tight-angled chance to the far post that was saved in the 13th minute.
Five minutes later, Ockene made a leaping save, punching away what would be the Cavaliers' lone shot on goal of the half over the crossbar.
Shortly after entering the match, Hudson came close in the 28th and 30th minutes. The pair of chances on goal, including a chip shot that was narrowly saved, forced two more stops out of the Cavalier keeper.
Florida State led Virginia 9-5 in shots in the first half, with a 3-1 advantage in shots on goal. FSU also had a 6-1 edge in corner kicks.
Two more strong saves from Ockene came early in the second half, in the 54th and 58th minutes. The first was on a chance from the top of the 18-yard box and the second was made with a diving stop to block a free kick out to the left.
FSU's two shots on goal in the second half came from Hudson in the 70th and 90th minutes, with the latter being a header off of a corner kick with less than 10 seconds remaining.
Less than a minute before Hudson's last-minute attempt, Ockene made another save to keep the game goalless.
Virginia outshot Florida State 7-6 in the second half, with three shots on goal to FSU's two. The Seminoles had four corner kicks to the Cavaliers' two, totaling 10 and three respectively after 90 minutes. Ockene and the UVA keeper added three more saves each, with Ockene totaling four through 90 minutes.
Neither team managed to score the golden goal in either 10-minute overtime session. Hudson made two more attempts across a three-minute stretch in the first overtime, forcing another save in the 91st minute and missing over the top in the 93rd minute. Senior midfielder Kameron Simmonds and sophomore forward Solai Washington both added shots seconds apart in the 98th minute, while senior defender Heather Gilchrist's header on goal was punched away by the Cavalier keeper in the 99th minute.
Florida State totaled five shots in the first overtime to Virginia's one. Each team took two corner kicks.
Halfway through the second overtime saw three more close attempts from Florida State. Junior defender Mimi Van Zanten and junior midfielder Yuna McCormack both fired shots in the 18-yard box that were blocked in the 105th minute. McCormack followed up a minute later with a shot on goal that ricocheted through UVA defenders and bounced to the UVA keeper. FSU took one more corner kick, but the second overtime period ended in a similar scoreless fashion.
In the penalty shootout, Dudley, Hudson, Suarez, Gilchrist and freshman forward Nyanya Touray each converted their penalty kicks, but the Cavaliers responded in turn and it was level at 5-5 after five rounds. In the sixth, the Cavaliers' keeper made a save before the visitors scored to clinch the shootout.
The Seminoles will return to action in the NCAA Tournament First Round. The NCAA Selection Show is set for Monday, November 10, where the bracket and FSU's opponent, date and time will be announced.
