CARY, N.C. – The Florida State Seminoles won 5-1 over the Stanford Cardinal in the 2023 NCAA Women’s College Cup Final at WakeMed Soccer Park.

Freshman Jordynn Dudley opened the scoring with a penalty conversion in the 29th minute. Dudley turned from scorer to provider seconds later to assist Jody Brown for the two-goal lead.

Maya Doms took one back for Stanford in the second half, at the 58th minute, but Beata Olsson would regain the lead six minutes later. Olsson assisted Brown in the 61st as the Seminoles began to pull away. Onyi Echegini added a fifth in the 84th to put the exclamation on a perfect season.
