What is the story about?
Florida State softball (36-7, 12-3) is looking to bounce back after a tough weekend at Stanford. The Seminoles fell to a sweep from the Cardinal, the program’s first in ACC play since 2011. Now, they will continue to be tested with a good North Carolina team. The Tar Heals are 31-11 and 9-9 in the ACC, coming off a series loss to Duke, but were able to take one game from the Blue Devils.
