Junior forward Jordynn Dudley is named a First Team All-ACC selection, sophomore forward Wrianna Hudson and sophomore midfielder Taylor Suarez are on the Second Team and senior defender Heather Gilchrist and junior defender Mimi Van Zanten are honored on the Third Team.
 
Dudley is the third player in program history to earn three First Team accolades in her career, along with Deyna Castellanos (2017, 2018 and 2019) and Yujie Zhao (2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021). Gilchrist and Van Zanten are named to the Third Team for a second year in a row. Gilchrist (2022), Hudson (2024) and Van Zanten (2023) also have earned All-Freshman Team recognition. Suarez is honored with ACC postseason accolades for the first time in her career.
 
The Seminoles have earned at least four All-ACC first, second or third team accolades every year since 2018 and in all but two seasons since 2008. FSU now has 119 All-ACC selections in school history, third-most among all programs.
 
Dudley leads the team with 11 assists, 29 points and 58 shots, while she is second with nine goals, two game-winning goals and 22 shots. In the regular season, she had at least a point in 13 consecutive games, with a goal in seven of those contests and at least two points nine times.

Dudley was one of two players with multi-goal ACC games and one of two with five multi-point performances.
 
Named to the 2025 Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List, Dudley is a two-time All-American and two-time Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, in 2023 and 2024.

In ACC play, her nine assists and 23 points both are No. 1 all-time, while her seven goals tied her own spot at No. 3. Dudley’s nine assists matches Jenna Nighswonger’s record set in 2022.
 
Hudson leads the team with 11 goals, three game-winning goals and 29 assists and is second with 23 points and 44 shots. She scored a goal in four consecutive games and in seven of the team’s first nine contests.

In 10 ACC games, Hudson is tied for eighth in goals (6). A Rochester, New York, native, Hudson was named to the 2024 ACC All-Freshman Team to go along with her 2025 Second Team accolade. Her six goals in ACC action are tied for No. 8 all-time in school history.
 
Suarez is third on the team with 12 points, tied for third with four goals and four assists and is fourth with 22 shots. She has three games with three or more points, two of them in the ACC. In league contests, Suarez is tied for eighth with two multi-point games.
 
The Charlotte, North Carolina, native is a 2024 All-ACC Academic Team honoree. To begin the 2025 season, Suarez was recognized as a Midfielder to Watch by the United Soccer Coaches.
 
Gilchrist has scored three goals for six points with two game-winning goals, tied for second on the team. Her 1,295 minutes is second-most among all players. She was named to the Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List and a Defender to Watch in 2025. From Boulder, Colorado, Gilchrist is a 2024 Fourth Team All-American, 2024 All-ACC Third Team recipient and 2022 All-ACC Freshman Team awardee.

On the back line, Gilchrist and Van Zanten have helped the Seminoles post nine shutouts. With just 13 goals allowed in 16 games, FSU ranks No. 11 in the NCAA and No. 4 in the ACC in goal differential (+30) and No. 20/3 in shutout percentage (.563). In the ACC, FSU’s defense is No. 3 in goals-against average (0.807).
 
Florida State’s All-ACC quintet have helped Florida State, ranked No. 6 in the national polls, to a 10-2-4 record in 2025. The Seminoles were 6-2-2 in the ACC and finished fourth to qualify for the ACC Championship for a 30th consecutive year. FSU will return to action in the NCAA Tournament First Round.
