TALLAHASSEE – No. 6 Florida State is set to host multiple ranked opponents this weekend at the Seminole Beach Bash. On Friday the Noles will face No. 16 North Florida, before facing No. 14 FAU to conclude day one of the tournament. FSU will close the tournament on Saturday against UNC Wilmington and take on either No. 7 TCU, USF, or UTampa. 
 
The Seminoles are 8-0 all-time against the Ospreys, including six total match sweeps. FSU competed against UNF for the first time in Gulf Shores, Alabama at the 2013 AVCA National Championships, where the Noles took all five courts and dropped only one set. Last time North Florida came to Tallahassee was in 2024.
 
Florida State has managed a 20-0 record against FAU, most recently sweeping the Owls 5-0 at home. All five courts won in straight sets, but the most thrilling dual came from court two with Maddie Trusty and Gella Andrew winning set one and two 22-20.
 
FSU hasn’t seen UNC Wilmington since 2021 at the CCSA Conference Championships. The Seminoles record versus the Seahawks is 6-0 all-time with complete dual sweeps.
  
TCU is the defending national champion and a new conference rival for Florida State. FSU is 14-7 all-time against the Horned Frogs, including a 4-0 record in Tallahassee. The teams will also play next month at the Pompano Tournament in Boca Raton. 
 
Fridays matches will honor Seminole Heritage, with Saturday featuring Kids Club activities and more. Live stats will be available at VolleyballLife.com.
