No. 1 Florida State (17-0-1) defeated Morehead State (9-6-5) by a 5-0 score tonight at the Seminole Soccer Complex to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Game Recap
Morehead State normally is a possession team but the Eagles immediately abandoned their normal approach in this game. Morehead played in a low block for basically the entire game. This strategy frustrated the Seminoles a bit early but the Noles eventually figured it out.
In the 35th minute FSU cracked the scoreboard for the first time. Leah Pais played a beautiful ball to Sophia Nguyen on the right side.
