’Nole of the week: Inside Wrianna Hudson’s championship mindset

FSView named Florida State junior forward Wrianna Hudson as their Week's “Nole of the Week.” Hudson earned the recognition after scoring the game-winning goal in the NCAA championship game, leading Florida State to its fifth national title. A Rochester, New York native, Hudson set the record with 12 goals and six game-winners in the previous season, earning Second Team All-ACC honors.

She was invited to a U.S. Women’s National Team development camp in January and has continued to perform well this season, scoring three goals in her first eight appearances.

FSView interviewed Hudson about her life beyond the field, her journey to Florida State, and her game day preferences. Growing up in New York, Hudson’s mother was from Florida, and she often visited the state for tournaments. Additionally, she admired the coaches and the talented players at Florida State. As a result, she decided to join the Seminoles and has remained dedicated to the team.

Hudson’s favorite memory at Florida State was winning the national championship, a moment she cherished as she played with teammates she admired and respected. Looking ahead, Hudson aims to build confidence and trust in her abilities, striving to be unrelenting on the field. For the team, she hopes to strengthen their bond, fostering better field chemistry and scoring more goals.

Away from soccer, Hudson enjoys exploring new movies with friends and watching them with her loved ones. She also expressed interest in playing tennis, a sport she enjoyed with her sisters during her childhood. If she could reside anywhere in the world, Hudson would choose Greece, fascinated by its mythology, architecture, and rich history. Additionally, she mentioned that meeting Beyoncé, Chadwick Boseman, and Denzel Washington for dinner would be an unforgettable experience.
