No. 24 FSU soccer stuns No. 4 Wake Forest on the road

Ashlyn Henderson and Wrianna Hudson got on the scoresheet as No. 24 Florida State soccer beat No. 4 Wake Forest 2-0.

On Thursday, October 15, Florida State's women's soccer team pulled off an upset, defeating fourth-seeded Wake Forest 2-0 at Spry Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The No. 24 Seminoles dominated the match, outscoring their opponents 15-12 and opening the scoring in the final seconds of the first half. Ashlyn Henderson scored the opening goal after a corner kick, directing her header into the top corner with just two seconds remaining in the first half.

Despite allowing Wake Forest to control possession for much of the game, Florida State limited their opponent to few scoring chances. The Seminoles capitalized on counterattacks and high pressing, leading to the second goal in the second half. Wrianna Hudson intercepted an errant pass from a Wake Forest defender and dispatched a precise left-footed shot that found the top left corner of the goal, securing the victory for the Seminoles.

Looking ahead, Florida State's soccer team will travel to Pitt for their next game on Sunday, October 18, at 1 p.m. The match will take place at Ambrose Urbanic Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network Extra.
