History

The Florida State Seminoles have one of the top women's soccer programs in the nation. The university added women's soccer as its 17th varsity sport in 1998, and have qualified for the NCAA tournament every year since 2000, appearing in the Women's College Cup tournament twelve times since 2003. In final season rankings, they have been in the top 10 every year since 2005. Florida State finished the 2007, 2013, and 2020 seasons as national runner-up with a second-place finish in the polls. The Seminoles finished first in the polls in 2014, 2018, and 2021, winning the national title. The Seminoles completed their first undefeated regular season in 2020. On March 29, 2022, Mark Krikorian resigned as head coach; Tennessee coach Brian Pensky was subsequently hired as his replacement.
