FSU soccer falls to Virginia in opening round of ACC tournament
Florida State soccer's chase for a 12th ACC tournament title has come to an end in the opening round of the tournament, falling to Virginia, 3-0, on Sunday, Nov.
Key points
- Despite the ball making contact with the Virginia defender's arm, the referee judged it to be in a natural position and did not award a penalty kick.
- The Seminoles held much of the possession, much like the season-ending defeat to Virginia Tech, and the result remained the same.
- FSU trailed going into the break and, despite some early second-half momentum, a moment of indecision in defense proved costly.
It's the second consecutive season that the Seminoles (9-3-4) have been eliminated at home by Virginia in the opening round of the ACC tournament.
FSU will make the NCAA tournament, but it awaits its seeding.
Additional details
- Once FSU got into the final third, it struggled to convert possession into sustained chances in front of goal.
- Virginia was clinical with its opportunities and opened the scoring in the 38th minute on a set piece.
- The Seminoles couldn't clear a loose ball in the penalty area, and it eventually fell to Ella on the edge of the box, and she passed it to an open Gio Canali, and she dispatched her shot into the back of the net.
- After the Seminoles gave away a free kick near midfield, Carter Ella swung in a cross that met the right foot of Allie Ross.
- 16 at 4 p.m., and it will be broadcast on NCAA.com Liam Rooney covers Florida State athletics for the Tallahassee Democrat.
