CARY, N.C. — Florida State coach Mark Krikorian didn’t mince words after defeating defending national champion Stanford 2-0 to reach the NCAA title game.
Krikorian said the Seminoles are playing their best soccer with one game left in the season.
They needed to be at their best to make it this far. Eight out of Florida State’s last 10 matches, including the semifinal against Stanford, have been against ranked opponents. To get to the Cardinal, the Seminoles had to beat Penn State (the 2015 NCAA champion) and USC (the 2016 NCAA champion).
