Florida State lacrosse beat Gardner-Webb 16-2 on Wednesday:
Ten different Seminoles scored in the victory, led by sophomore midfielder Meg Kenny and senior attacker Lola Mancuso, who each recorded hat tricks.
Kenny, who leads Florida State with 18 goals, posted her second career hat trick and fourth multi-goal performance of the season. She added two assists for her second consecutive five-point outing and has now recorded a goal or assist in seven straight games.
Mancuso notched her first hat trick of the season and third multi-goal game, increasing her season total to 14 goals.
Sophomore midfielder Lydia Ward and freshman attacker Summer Harrell each added two goals, while Marleigh Sanders, Hannah Toole, Victoria Tomonto and Emily Barnette all scored their first goals of the season.
Defensively, the Seminoles were dominant, recording a program-record 14 caused turnovers. Lydia Ward led the effort with three caused turnovers, while Mary Grace Tibbs added two.
In goal, Julia Ward held Gardner-Webb scoreless over 40 minutes, making two saves while earning her first career win.
Florida State set the tone early as Kenny converted a free-position opportunity with 11:57 remaining in the first quarter. Following a Gardner-Webb yellow card, Sienna Casella found Kenny for a woman-up goal to make it 2-0. Brynn Perkins extended the lead to 3-0, and the Seminoles closed the quarter with three goals in the final 2:45 to take a 6-0 advantage.
Mancuso highlighted the second quarter, scoring twice to complete a first-half hat trick. Florida State held the Runnin’ Bulldogs scoreless in the opening 30 minutes, carrying an 8-0 lead into halftime.
Lydia Ward opened the second half with a free-position goal, and just over a minute later, senior midfielder Kate Christos added another to make it 10-0. Toole added her first career goal during another woman-up opportunity for the 11th Seminole goal of the afternoon. With 4:08 left in the third, Perkins connected with Harrell for a behind-the-back finish, and the duo linked up again late in the quarter to push the lead to 13-0.
Florida State closed out the game with three more goals in the fourth quarter to secure the 16-2 victory.
The Seminoles will travel to No. 13 Notre Dame on Saturday for an ACC matchup. First draw is set for 1 p.m. on ACCNX.
FSU men’s tennis will hit the road this week with a double-header vs. Boston College and Holy Cross today before facing off against SMU on Sunday:
The Seminoles have remained spotless against Boston College through 22 matches and have won all 21 meetings in the conference since 2006.
The Seminoles and Mustangs have met only three times in the series’ history, with the Seminoles holding a 2-1 overall lead. FSU swept SMU 4-0 last season in Tallahassee, the Mustangs’ first year in the ACC.
SMU has been hot all season long, with a historic win recently when they took down No. 8 Baylor, 4-2. The win marked SMU’s first win over Baylor since 2001 and the first team win in Waco since 1997.
SMU is led by Trevor Svajda, who is ranked No. 2 in the ITA singles rankings as of March 3. Svajda holds an impressive 13-1 record in singles play this spring and has dropped just two sets. The California native has also secured five wins over ranked opponents this season, including victories against Devin Badenhorst of Baylor (No. 12), Aidan Kim of Ohio State (No. 13) and Adhitya Ganesan of Florida (No. 54).
Florida State heads into the weekend with momentum after a strong conference win over Georgia Tech. Doubles play set the tone early, as the pairing of Justin Lyons and Mohammad Alkotop secured the doubles point, marking their third ACC victory of the season. Lyons carried that momentum into singles, delivering a dominant performance on court six against Richard Biagiotti to give Florida State a 2-0 advantage.
In singles action, Erik Schiessl earned his second ACC win with a hard-fought three-set victory over Hidde Schoenmakers. Corey Craig extended his win streak, battling through another three-set match to defeat Christophe Clement to clinch the match for the Seminoles.
FSU swimming and diving began its run at the NCAA Championships by competing in the 200 medley relay, finishing tied for 17th:
Sophomore Alice Velden, senior Julia Mansson and sophomores Maryn McDade and Mary Leigh Hardman combined for the fifth-fastest time in program history. With the result, the Seminoles secured All-America honors, awarded to the top 16 finishers.
Hardman made her NCAA Championships debut in the 200 medley relay and is slated to compete in the 200 freestyle relay alongside Velden and McDade. The swim marked the final NCAA race of Mansson’s collegiate career.
Florida State is represented by seven student-athletes at the 2026 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships from March 18-21. Competition will continue Thursday, with swimming prelims at 10 a.m. ET. Redshirt senior Kayleigh Clark will compete in her first event of the week, the 1-meter springboard, with prelims beginning at 12:30 p.m. McDade, Velden, senior Sarah Evans and Hardman will swim the 200 freestyle relay to round out the Seminoles’ relays for the week.
The top eight finishers in every event will advance to the finals and determine places 1-8. Athletes who finish 9-16 will not compete in a B final; their final placement and point totals will be determined based on their finish in prelims. Relays are timed finals, with two relays competed in prelims and the last in the evening finals. Diving prelims begin at 12:30 p.m. ET each day, with the top eight finishers advancing to finals.
