Seminoles and Jayhawks Draw in Lawrence
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The No. 6 Florida State soccer team and RV Kansas played to a 1-1 draw on Thursday night at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, Kansas.
On the road for the first time this season, and back in action after a 10 day hiatus, the Seminoles (2-0-1) took a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute. The Jayhawks (3-0-2) tied the game 13 minutes later, the first goal FSU has conceded this season.
Junior forward Jordynn Dudley scored FSU’s lone goal, her first of the season and 24th of her career. Dudley led the team with a game-high-tying three shots. Sophomore forward Wrianna Hudson had a game-best two shots on target. In goal, redshirt sophomore Addie Todd made three saves, as did her Jayhawk counterpart.
Florida State had eight shots and Kansas registered 14 shots. Both teams had four shots on goal and five corner kicks.
FSU extended its unbeaten streak in regular-season non-conference action to 30 consecutive games with Thursday night’s result, as the Seminoles are 27-0-4 since early in the 2019 season.
The all-time series between the Seminoles and Jayhawks remains tied, at 1-1-1, as the two sides squared off for the first time since 2003.
Dudley scored at 12:46 to give FSU the lead. Near the Big 12 logo, the junior took the ball away from the KU defender and dribbled into the top of the penalty area at the corner. Moving towards the center of the 18-yard box and around another defender, Dudley found just enough space to fire a right-footed shot to the top corner of the goal on the near post. Beyond the hands of the leaping Kansas goalkeeper, Dudley’s strike gave FSU a 1-0 lead.
Todd made a nice save in the 23rd minute before KU found the back of the net at 25:37. The tying goal was the first allowed by a Florida State keeper in 2025.
Hudson had a nice chance saved less than a minute later, and Todd followed with a good save of her own in the 29th minute.
The Jayhawks had eight shots, three on goal, in the opening 45 minutes, while the Seminoles notched three shots, two on frame. The hosts had a 4-2 advantage in corners.
A Todd save in the 49th minute began the second half, and KU had several other chances early, but the defense prevented anything else on target.
Hudson had another good opportunity in the 66th minute, but her shot again was saved.
Florida State applied offensive pressure late, with several corner kicks and opportunities in the final third in the final 15-20 minutes, but the visitors could not find the go-ahead goal.
Senior defender Heather Gilchrist had a shot saved in the 88th minute, and Dudley sent one wide right with 90 seconds left for the final shot of the contest.
Kansas had six shots, one on goal, and FSU had five shots, two on target, in the second half. Corner kicks were 3-1 in favor of the Seminoles.
Up next, FSU comes back to the Seminole Soccer Complex on Thursday, September 4, against Stetson at 7 p.m. ET. It is Military Appreciation Night as Florida State plays its penultimate non-conference game.
