TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State lacrosse team (4-11, 0-9 ACC) fell 16-7 to No. 9 Clemson (13-4, 7-3) on Thursday afternoon at the Seminole Lacrosse Complex.
Sophomore midfielder Meg Kenny led the Seminoles with four points, recording two goals and two assists. Kenny closed the regular season with a team-high 43 points on 30 goals and 13 assists, adding her eighth multi-goal game and third multi-assist performance of the year.
Freshman attacker Summer Harrell also turned in a strong outing, finishing with two goals and one assist for three points. Harrell ended the regular season second on the team with 37 points (26 goals, 11 assists) and recorded her eighth multi-goal game of the season.
Brynn Perkins, Brooke Long and Lydia Ward each added a goal for Florida State, while senior defender Erin Schaefer contributed a strong defensive effort with two caused turnovers and four ground balls.
The Seminoles opened the game with a 2-0 lead, as Harrell assisted Perkins on the game's first goal before Kenny set up Harrell less than 30 seconds later. The FSU defense held Clemson scoreless for the first 10:52, but the Tigers closed the quarter with four straight goals to take a 4-2 lead.
Florida State kept pace in the second quarter, matching Clemson with four goals. After an early Tiger score, Long assisted Kenny to make it 5-3, then converted a free-position opportunity to cut the deficit to one. Clemson answered with two goals before Kenny capitalized on a free-position chance following a yellow card. Kenny later connected with Harrell again to bring FSU within one, but Clemson netted the final goal of the half to take an 8-6 lead into the break.
The third quarter turned into a defensive battle, with Clemson scoring the only three goals to extend its lead to 11-6 heading into the fourth.
Ward accounted for Florida State's final goal with 48 seconds remaining, scoring unassisted for her 18th of the season.
