00:60 | GOAL Florida State ????
And they’ve done it once more. Whoever said 2-0 was a dangerous lead wasn’t accounting for a lethal Florida State front line. Jody Brown buried her second of the game with a one-touch finish off a short pass from none other than Beata Olsson.
JODY BROWN. AGAIN!

00:57 | GOAL Florida State ????
Beata Olsson charged following a long ball from the inside the FSU half, she sprinted past the last Stanford defender and took one touch to face Ryan Campbell one-on-one before slotting a shot low and hard to extend the Florida State lead to 3-1.
THE ‘NOLES ANSWER BACK. ????????

00: 51 | GOAL Stanford ????
The Cardinal kicked off the second half with a bang. Off a switch of play across the top of the Florida State box, Maya Doms finished a right-footed shot that slipped into the corner of the net past seasoned goalie Cristina Roque. Stanford is now the only team to have scored on the Noles throughout the entire NCAA tournament.
THE CARDINAL ARE THE FIRST TEAM TO SCORE ON FLORIDA STATE IN THE 2023 WOMENS SOCCER TOURNAMENT!

00:45 | Noles up 2-0 at the half
Thirty seconds of Florida State madness produced the only two goals in the half. The Noles edged the Cardinal in possession 63% to 37% and outshot them 7-2. As any soccer player will tell you though, 2-0 is known to be the most dangerous lead. It only takes one goal to shift the momentum and a game can be completely changed.
AGAIN!!!!!! FLORIDA STATE.

00:28 | NOLES SCORE AGAIN
Just 26 seconds later, Jody Brown doubled the lead off a beautiful sequence. It all started with Jordyn Dudley’s chest bump which landed at Brown’s feet before she dished it off to Onyi Echegini’s and continued her run as Taylor Huff sent an expertly woven through ball into Brown’s overlap into the six. Touch, finish, goal.
00:28 | GOAL Florida State
Freshman Jordyn Dudley earned and converted a PK following getting fouled by a Stanford defender just inside the eighteen.
00:13 | Scoreless — Noles on their third corner
Just over ten minutes into the championship match the Noles are keeping a steady flow of possession and attacking runs in the Stanford half. They’ve earned three unsuccessful corners and a freekick outside the box so far. The Cardinal backline stands strong, though, with keeper Ryan Campbell directing and coming off her line to punch away anything in her box.
Playing for Katie Meyer

The Stanford players paid tribute to former goalkeeper Katie Meyer by wearing her number on their warmup jerseys. The team is featuring a green butterfly patch on their game jersey in remembrance of Katie who took her own life in 2022. She would have been a senior this year. Katie loved butterflies and green is the color of mental health awareness.
