No. 7 Seminoles Shut Out FAU
BOCA RATON, Fla. – The No. 7 Florida State soccer team led 2-0 after 99 seconds en route to a 5-0 win at FAU on Sunday afternoon in Boca Raton, Florida.
The Seminoles (4-0-1) scored at least five goals for the third time in five games to begin the season and earned their fourth shutout. FSU concludes non-conference play unbeaten for the fifth consecutive season, with a 20-1 scoring margin in the five games.
On a hot and muggy Sunday afternoon at FAU Soccer Stadium, FSU’s victory over the Owls (2-5-1) ended in the 79th minute due to lightning in the area.
With its first victory away from home in 2025, Florida State took a 1-0 lead just 44 seconds into the match and made it 2-0 just 55 seconds later. Four players scored a goal and five notched an assist as 22 players appeared in the game, all for at least 26 minutes.
Sophomore forward Wrianna Hudson scored two goals for her second career brace while senior midfielder Enasia Colon scored her first goal as a Seminole, with a first-minute score that was her fourth career game-winner. Senior defender Heather Gilchrist netted her third of the season, after she entered the year with one career goal, and senior forward Kameron Simmonds found the back of the net for the first time in 2025.
Meanwhile, the defense held FAU to just one shot, as the Seminoles posted a 24-1 advantage in shots, 13-1 in shots on goal. FSU had 11 corner kicks and did not allow one for a second game in a row and the third time this season.
Hudson had a game-high five shots and three shots on goal. Redshirt sophomore midfielder Peyton Nourse, who assisted on Simmonds’ goal, had three shots. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Addie Todd made one save in 45 minutes, and freshman goalkeeper Evan O’Steen did not face a shot in nearly 34 minutes of the second half as the pair combined for the shutout. FAU’s two keepers made eight saves total, four each.
With the win, Florida State’s regular-season non-conference win streak was extended to 33 consecutive matches, as the Seminoles are 29-0-4 since early in the 2019 campaign in those contests. FSU also improves to 4-0-0 all-time against FAU, with back-to-back wins in Boca Raton and shutouts in three of the four games.
Colon gave Florida State the early 1-0 lead just 44 seconds into the game. Junior forward Jordynn Dudley took the ball into the 18-yard box near the end line and sent a centering cross in. The Owl keeper got a foot on the ball and Colon came running in to fire in the rebound from near the penalty spot.
Colon’s goal was her first as a Seminole and 19th of her career, as Dudley registered her 22nd career assist and second in 2025.
Fifty-five seconds later, at 1:39, Gilchrist doubled the FSU advantage. The goal came off a corner kick by sophomore midfielder Lara Dantas, and Gilchrist got a foot on the ball among heavy traffic inside the six-yard box.
Gilchrist scored her third of the year today and fourth of her career. Dantas’ assist was her second of the season and fifth of her career.
Simmonds extended the Seminole lead to 3-0 at 61:02. Two nice passes from fifth-year midfielder Marianyela Jiménez and Nourse set up Simmonds just inside the penalty area. She beat the FAU goalkeeper to the far post for her first goal of the season.
The goal was Simmonds’ sixth in an FSU jersey and 18th of her four-year career. Jiménez picked up her third assist of the season and Nourse’s helper was the first of her career.
Hudson scored the last two goals, making it 4-0 at 71:44 and 5-0 at 75:07. From past midfield, junior defender Mimi Van Zanten sent a long pass up to Hudson on the run. Alongside an Owl defender, Hudson beat her to the ball at the edge of the 18 and scored past the goalkeeper, well off her line at the top of the goal box, to the far post.
Hudson’s second goal was a penalty after she drew a foul inside the box.
Hudson has two career braces, along with last season vs. Pitt, and she has five goals this year and 14 in her career. Van Zenten earned her first assist of 2025 and the seventh of her career.
Up next, ACC play begins for Florida State next week against Louisville on Thursday, September 11, at 7 p.m. ET, at the Seminole Soccer Complex. The home contest starts the 10-game conference slate before FSU plays its next three on the road.
