FSU vs BYU Women’s Soccer 2021 Preview
The final pits two squads with different types of experience in these types of games.
For Florida State’s seniors this could be one of the great crowning moments as they could become the first class to win two national titles in three finals during their time in Tallahassee. The top-ranked Seminoles, for the past few years, are the best team in the best soccer conference in the collegiate sports.
Mark Krikorian’s side is also playing in their eighth College Cup in the last 11 years. In this tournament they became the second most successful program in College Cup history, only trailing North Carolina for that distinction.
They get to this stage after grinding out a 1-0 victory against Rutgers on Friday night in what was a game filled with fouls and lots of exciting moments. But it was a 71st minute goal from Jenna Nighswonger off a set piece that ended getting to her on the far post.
BYU get to this stage of the season for the first time in their program’s history. They beat defending champions Santa Clara in penalties in the Broncos own backyard. For them it was something the accomplished when they beat them 2-1 this past March.
The Cougars were an offensive juggernaut this season as they were the best team in the country as they scored 3.5 goals per game as well as shots taken.
But against Santa Clara, the challenge was different as they had to find a way to prevent the defending champs to beat them. So they depended on goalkeeper Cassidy Smith with her season-high seven saves on top of shining the penalty kicks.
On the offensive side, BYU outshot Santa Clara 26-13, maintain possession of the ball the majority of the game and remain patient in a physical game.
In this encounter, both Mikayla Colohan and Cameron Tucker were shut down and this would appeal more to the control that this team would need in order to compete and they did do exactly that as they closed down many opposing players while still getting to the opposing goal.
For the Cougars, this might end up being a very similar formula that could see them raise their first national title, especially against a team as experience as Florida State.
