🥇Florida State beats TCU to advance to the Women's College Cup final

Florida State defeated TCU 1-0 on Friday, advancing to its eighth Women’s College Cup final in program history.

The Seminoles dictated the pace for most of the game, providing steady pressure on TCU’s back line. Early opportunities from Jordynn Dudley, Wrianna Hudson and Kameron Simmonds forced Horned Frogs goalkeeper Olivia Geller into repeated saves as Florida State had six more chances in the first half. TCU managed only a handful of shots on goal, including a third-minute shot from Sydney Becerra that FSU goalkeeper Kate Ockene was able to handle.

TCU threatened briefly early in the second half when Emma Yolinsky struck the woodwork in the 54th minute, but the Seminoles regained command and continued to push forward. The breakthrough finally came in the 73rd minute. Hudson buried a cross from Peyton McGovern giving Florida State the lead.

From there, the Seminoles managed to fend off TCU’s late pushes while still creating chances of their own. Dudley nearly doubled the lead when she hit the cross bar in the 80th minute.

Ockene sealed the win with a final save on Seven Castain at the horn, preserving the clean sheet and sending FSU into Monday’s national championship match against the winner of Duke/Stanford.

🚗 Road to Kansas City for TCU, FSU

TCU and Florida State went into the NCAA tournament as No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, respectively, with each hosting several early round games. Here's a recap of how these two semifinalists made it to the 2025 Women's College Cup — and which teams they beat to get there.

TCU (18-2-3)

TCU advanced to its first NCAA Women’s College Cup after a historic postseason run. The Horned Frogs opened with a 7-0 rout of Grambling State, led by Seven Castain’s hat trick. They followed with a 4-0 win over No. 7 Memphis, scoring all four goals in the first half. In one of the program’s most memorable matches, TCU ended defending champion North Carolina's attempt at returning to the Women's College Cup. Down one, Kamdyn Fuller scored the equalizer in the final seconds before securing a 4-3 penalty kick victory. AJ Hennessey converted the decisive kick. The Frogs then upset top-seeded Vanderbilt, 2-1, in the quarterfinals in Nashville. Emma Yolinsky tied the match in the 77th minute, and Sydney Becerra buried a penalty in overtime to seal the win. Goalkeeper Olivia Geller delivered a career-best performance, recording nine saves against Vanderbilt. With four straight NCAA tournament victories, TCU doubled its previous postseason win total and earned a berth in the national semifinals.

Florida State (14-2-4)

Florida State advanced to its 15th Women’s College Cup after a dominant postseason stretch. The Seminoles opened with a 4-0 win over Samford, highlighted by Taylor Suarez’s goal and two assists. Heather Gilchrist then scored the lone goal in a 1-0 second round victory over Lipscomb, securing FSU’s 11th shutout of the season. In the third round, FSU defeated Georgetown 3-1 behind goals from Mimi Van Zanten, Nyanya Touray and Jaida McGrew. The Seminoles followed with a 4-1 quarterfinal win over Ohio State as Jordynn Dudley netted a brace and added an assist. Yuna McCormack and Wrianna Hudson sealed the result with second half goals. Freshman goalkeeper Kate Ockene anchored the defense throughout, posting multiple clean sheets and timely saves. Florida State improved to 87-19-6 all-time in NCAA play and extended its unbeaten streak to eight matches. With four straight tournament wins, the Seminoles earned their fifth College Cup berth in six years.
