TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 7 Florida State soccer team played to a 2-2 draw against Cal on Sunday afternoon at the Seminole Soccer Complex.
 
The Seminoles (8-2-3, 4-2-2) halted a two-game losing streak thanks to a pair of goals from sophomore forward Wrianna Hudson, who registered her third career brace and second of 2025. The Golden Bears (8-2-3, 4-2-2 ACC) extended their unbeaten streak to four in a row with the result to cap their weekend road trip.
 
Sunday’s matchup was the third in a row for FSU against a team in the top three in the ACC standings entering the matchup.
 
Hudson’s two goals give her a team-best 10 on the season to eclipse the nine she scored in her inaugural 2024 campaign. Junior defender Mimi Van Zanten had a career-best two assists, her third and fourth of the year to tie her career high set as a freshman in 2023. Junior forward Jordynn Dudley also notched an assist on Hudson’s second goal, her team-leading 10th of the year, to extend her point streak to 11 consecutive games. Hudson and Dudley share the team lead with 20 points.
 
Florida State out-shot Cal 20-5, with an 8-3 advantage in shots on goal. The home side earned 12 corner kicks to the visitor’s two.
 
Four FSU players had three shots, including Hudson and Dudley, who notched three and two shots on goal, respectively. Freshman goalkeeper Kate Ockene made one save and Cal’s goalkeeper stopped six shots.
 
Both sides traded possessions early, with a shot wide for both teams in the opening nine minutes. Junior midfielder Yuna McCormack had a chance blocked in the 16th minute and nearly found the back of the net less than three minutes later, but that shot went just wide.
 
Sophomore midfielder Lara Dantas had a chance saved in the 37th minute and the Seminoles soon after earned a corner, but could not get another chance off in the first half.
 
Goalless at the half for the third time this season, FSU out-shot Cal 4-1 in the opening 45 minutes, with the home side registering the lone shot on goal. The Seminoles earned both corners of the first half.
 
Florida State opened the second half with strong offensive pressure, as Hudson and Dudley both forced saves in the opening minute.
 
The Seminoles took a 1-0 lead at 50:13 thanks to Hudson. Van Zanten fed the ball in to Hudson after moving to the top of the 18-yard box. From just outside the goal area, Hudson received the pass, spun and fired a left-footed shot to the right post.
 
Just five minutes later, at 55:13, Hudson struck again to make it 2-0, with assists from Van Zanten and Dudley. From closer to midfield, Van Zanten delivered a long ball into the penalty area that was headed by Dudley right to Hudson at the top of the six-yard box. Hudson received the ball out of the air and scored to the left post.
 
FSU continued to control possession, with shots by sophomore forward Solai Washington, McCormack, and senior forward Kameron Simmonds. Washington then had another chance that was saved in the 65th minute.
 
Cal scored at 73:41 to make it 2-1. Florida State then nearly got the goal back with shots by sophomore midfielder Taylor Suarez, high, and Dudley, saved.
 
The Golden Bears tied it at 2-2 at 83:17.
 
The Seminoles looked to regain the lead in the final six-plus minutes, with five shots, but four were blocked and one went just high. FSU earned five corners in the offensive push.
 
Second-half shots were 16-4 and shots on goal were 7-3, both in favor of Florida State. Corners were 10-2 for the home side.
 
In the team’s penultimate regular-season match, FSU travels to No. 3 Virginia on Thursday, October 23. Kickoff on the ACC Network is set for 6 p.m. ET. It will be FSU’s third top-five opponent in four games, since October 9.
