KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Three Florida State soccer players have been named All-Americans by United Soccer Coaches on Friday, headlined by junior forward Jordynn Dudley on the First Team, sophomore midfielder Taylor Suarez on the Second Team and senior defender Heather Gilchrist on the Third Team.
Dudley is an All-American for the third time in her three-year career, along with receiving First Team honors in 2023 and Second Team accolades in 2024. The first player in program history to collect three All-America honors with two of them being First Team, Dudley is the fourth player in FSU history to be named an All-American three times and the first to do it in her first three seasons. She also is the fourth player to be named to the First Team twice. As one of 19 players to earn First Team distinction all-time, this year's award is the 23rd in team history.
Gilchrist is bestowed with All-America accolades for the second time in her career, after she was named to the Fourth Team in 2024. She is the 15th FSU player to earn multiple career All-America honors.
Suarez is the 36th player in program history to earn at least one All-America award by United Soccer Coaches.
56 total All-America honors have been awarded to Florida State players by the organization since the first one in 2003. FSU has had at least three awardees in four consecutive seasons and at least two every year since 2018. This is the 20th consecutive season, since 2006, that the Seminoles have had at least one All-American.
Dudley joins Tiffany McCarty (2009-First, 2011-Second, 2012-Third), Deyna Castellanos (2017-Second, 2018-Second, 2019-Second) and Yujie Zhao (2018-Second, 2020-Third and 2021-Second) as three-time recipients. She is joined by Becky Edwards (2008, 2009), Malia Berkely (2019, 2020) and Jaelin Howell (2020, 2021) as two-time First Team awardees.
Friday's accolades come after the FSU trio were recognized on United Soccer Coaches' All-Region Team on Tuesday.
A finalist for Top Drawer Soccer's National Player of the Year Award and a Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, Dudley is an All-Region First Team and First Team All-ACC honoree for a third consecutive year in 2025.
Through 20 games, Dudley leads the team with 14 assists, 36 points and 78 shots, while she shares the team lead with three game-winning goals and is second with 11 goals and 31 shots on goal. She has three braces and five games with at least three points, including a two-goal, one-assist contest in the NCAA Quarterfinal. In the regular season, the Milton, Georgia, native had at least a point in 13 consecutive games, with a goal in seven of those contests and at least two points nine times. Dudley ranks No. 4 nationally in assists per game (0.70), No. 5 in total assists (14), No. 13 in points per game (1.80), No. 17 in total points (36) and No. 19 in shots per game (3.90).
