Women’s Sports Update: Here’s the latest development from the world of women’s sports, shared for readers of IndiaTips.in. Stay updated with tournament highlights, athlete performances, league news, championship results, and major updates across global women’s sporting events.
The 2025 College Cup locked in its finalists last Friday, with the NCAA soccer tournament’s overall No. 1-seed Stanford and No. 3-seed Florida State advancing past the competition in the semifinals to book an all-ACC championship match for the third straight year.
Stanford kept to their winning ways by ousting No. 2-seed Duke 1-0 on Friday, with senior midfielder Jasmine Aikey burying a 10th-minute free kick to take down the Blue Devils with her 21st goal of the season.
Florida State similarly landed a single strike to end the championship run of No. 2-seed TCU in their semifinal, benefitting from a second-half breakthrough from sophomore forward Wrianna Hudson in the game’s 73rd minute.
A full half of the last 14 NCAA titles have gone to either the Seminoles or the Cardinal, with Florida State edging Stanford 4-3 in national trophies thus far.
On Monday, the Cardinal will hunt their first national title since their epic penalty shootout victory in 2019, when Stanford narrowly defeated NCAA women’s soccer dynasty North Carolina 5-4 from the spot after a 0-0 draw.
Florida State, on the other hand, a more recent history reaching the pinnacle of collegiate soccer, with the Seminoles’ securing the 2023 title with a 5-1 thrashing of the Cardinal.
That said, Stanford arguably holds the advantage over their ACC rivals entering Monday’s match, having handed FSU a 2-1 defeat on their own Tallahassee pitch less than two months ago.
