TALLAHASSEE – The No. 10-ranked and fourth-seeded Florida State soccer team suffered a 3-0 loss to 14th-ranked and No. 5-seeded Virginia in the First Round of the 2026 Ally ACC Women's Soccer Championship on Sunday night in Tallahassee.
With the defeat, the Seminoles (9-4-3) will prepare for the 2026 NCAA Championship, with the Selection Show set for Monday, November 16, and the First Round from November 20-22. The five-time and defending national champions, FSU is expected to earn its 27 NCAA berth all-time.
Making its 32nd ACC Championship appearance, Florida State is the only team to make the postseason tournament every year in its history, qualifying each year since its inaugural season in 1995. The top six teams have made the conference postseason event since 2021.

The visitors scored the game's final goal in the 77th minute. UVA advances to the Semifinal of the 2026 Ally ACC Women's Soccer Championship.
FSU had 10 shots, four on goal, while UVA registered 12 shots and nine shots on target. Corner kicks were 7-2 for Florida State. Thirteen fouls were called on the Seminoles and 11 on the Cavaliers.
Junior forward Wrianna Hudson had a game-high six shots with two shots on goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Kate Ockene made six saves, her second-highest total in a game this season. Virginia's goalkeeper had four stops.
Ockene's first save came in the 11th minute before the Seminoles had the next three shots. Two were by Hudson, one saved and one wide, and another by junior forward Shaneil Buckley that was wide.
Another Ockene save was in the 20th minute before senior forward Ashley Henderson put a shot on frame that was stopped in the 31st.
Virginia took a 1-0 lead at 38:09.
Shots were 5-4 for UVA in the opening half, with the visitors holding a 3-2 edge in shots on goal. The Seminoles had three corners in the first 45 minutes.
Two saves by Ockene in the opening minutes of the second half came before the Cavaliers made it 2-0 at 51:24.
Junior defender Janet Okeke had an opportunity that was saved five minutes later, and Hudson sent a shot just to the left of the post in the 59th.
Ockene's fifth and sixth stops of the night were in the 68th and 72nd minutes. UVA extended its lead to 3-0 at 76:47.
