† – Conference champion ‡ – 2024 ACC Tournament champion As of August 6, 2024 Rankings from United Soccer Coaches Poll Source: The ACC |
The 2024 Florida State Seminoles women's soccer team represents Florida State University during the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. This is the 30th season of the university fielding a women's soccer program, during all of which they have been members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Seminoles are led by third-year head coach Brian Pensky, and play their home games at Seminole Soccer Complex. The Seminoles entered the season as defending ACC Regular Season, ACC Tournament, and NCAA Tournament champions.
Previous season
The Seminoles finished the season 22–0–1 and 9–0–1 in ACC play to finish in first place. As the first seed in the ACC Tournament, they received a bye into the Semifinals where they defeated Pittsburgh and Clemson to win their fourth consecutive ACC Tournament title.[1] As tournament champions, they received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and were the first seed in the Florida State Bracket and the top overall seed in the tournament. They defeated Morehead State in the First Round, Texas A&M in the Second Round, Texas in the Third Round, Pittsburgh again in the Quarterfinals, Clemson again in the Semifinals, and Stanford in the Final. Their 5–1 victory in the championship won the team their fourth overall title, all of which have come since 2014. Stanford's 36 game streak of allowing one or fewer goals was snapped and this was the first match where the Cardinal allowed five or more goals in a game since 1996. This was the first national championship match between two undefeated teams and Florida State became the first undefeated champion since Stanford in 2011.[2]
