In his first season as an assistant coach, Hudson helped the Seminoles put together one of the most dominant runs of the century in women's college soccer. FSU finished the season 22-0-1 and cruised their way to a National Championship to become the first undefeated National Champion since 2011. FSU outscored their opponents 21-1 in the NCAA Tournament including a dominant 5-1 win over Stanford in the National Championship Game. FSU's five goals were the most the Cardinal had given up since 2000 and were the most goals in the title game since 2003.

Echegini earned the MAC Hermann Trophy, the Honda Sport Award for women's soccer and was the ACC Player of the Year. The Seminoles posted a school record five All-Americans and seven players from the 2023 team have signed professional contracts.
