Florida State watched both its soccer and volleyball seasons end on Friday night in the NCAA Tournament.
FSU’s bid to repeat as national soccer champions ended two wins shy as the Seminoles were blanked by Duke 2-0 in the College Cup in Cary, North Carolina on Friday. Duke’s Kayla McCoy scored in the 32nd minute to snap the FSU streak of 10 straight NCAA Tournament games without allowing a goal.
FSU doubled up on Duke in terms of shots on goal, 16-8 on the night, but never could find the back of the net. Toni Payne put the exclamation point on the Blue Devils’ victory with an insurance goal in the final seconds. The Seminoles finish the season 18-3-4.
