Florida state won their game against South Alabama with a 5-0 victory! Within the first two minutes of the game FSU got a goal from a penalty kick! Three minutes later FSU put the ball in the back of the net again! In the first five minutes of the game FSU had six shots on net, and by the end of the first half FSU had 3 more goals ending the first half 5-0. FSU had 25 shots that game and South Alabama only had 3. FSU just keeps getting W’s. Tonight at 7:30 FSU will be playing Duke. I think FSU will have a pretty good chance of winning. FSU is No. 2 in the seed with a 18-2-4 record and Duke is No. 20 in the seed with a 13-5-5 record.
Florida State Seminoles will face South Alabama tonight at 4:30 p.m. in the second round of the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship. Florida State will host South Alabama for this game. Florida State’s record is 15-2-4 and South Alabama’s record is 18-2-2. I think Florida State will have a hard time beating South Alabama this year but then again Florida State has beat South Alabama in the 2013 and 2014 first round with a pair of 5-0 victories. So I believe that might be an easy game for FSU if they come in ready and on their toes but if they aren’t ready to score right away than it might be a tuft game for FSU but we will see tonight at 4:30.
The video below is the highlights of the game against South Alabama in 2014, and the link below is an article of the game tonight.
