SERIES HISTORY VS. PITT
FSU is 15-0-0 all-time vs. Pitt, 9-0-0 at home, 5-0-0 on the road and 1-0-0 at a neutral site. In a series that began in 2013, the teams have met 12 times in ACC regular-season competition and three times in the postseason. That includes twice in the NCAA Tournament, both 3-0 home wins in 2022 and 2023, along with a 2-0 triumph in the 2023 ACC Semifinal in Cary, North Carolina. Eleven of the 15 matchups have been Seminole shutouts, beginning with a 4-0 home win in 2013 to start a 15-0 scoring run over four games.
Two years ago in Tallahassee, Florida State earned a 7-1 win on October 20, 2024. It was the team's first seven-goal performance in an ACC game since 2012. Hudson scored twice off the bench in the win as FSU out-shot Pitt 14-6, with a 9-4 advantage in shots on goal.
SCOUTING THE PANTHERS
Pitt is 7-6-2 on the season and 1-5-1 in ACC play. The Panthers are 3-3-1 at home and 4-3-1 on the road.

Pitt's ACC win was a 1-0 victory at NC State on October 8, which snapped a five game winless stretch to open conference action.
LAST TIME OUT: SHUTOUT AT NO. 4 WAKE
A goal late in each half propelled Florida State to a 2-0 win at No. 4 Wake Forest on Thursday night in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Demon Deacons were handed just their second home loss in 40 games since 2023, as the defeat also snapped a 20-0-3 unbeaten streak since late October 2024.
FSU took a 1-0 lead with just two seconds left in the first half, as senior midfielder Ashley Henderson scored on a header as the clock neared zero, her first goal as a Seminole. Florida State doubled the lead with less than eight minutes remaining in the match thanks to Hudson who found the back of the net to secure the road victory. Ockene made four saves, her third-most in a game this season, and also assisted on Hudson's goal. Junior midfielder Lara Dantas, who made her season debut on Thursday night, assisted on Henderson's goal.
Florida State out-shot Wake Forest 15-12 with a 9-4 advantage in shots on goal. Corners were 5-4 for the home side, and 10 fouls were called on WF and seven on FSU. Junior forward Shaneil Buckley had a game-high five shots and Hudson had four, all on target.
FSU improves to 16-13-6 all-time against Wake Forest, including 13-11-3 in ACC contests and 4-9-2 in Winston-Salem. The Seminoles have won seven of the last eight and are unbeaten in 11 of the last 13 contests since the 2011 postseason.
