Florida State had not lost in five games, and on Thursday night it took that form to Spry Stadium and ended one of the best home runs in college soccer. The #24 Seminoles beat #4 Wake Forest 2-0, handing the Demon Deacons their first home loss since October 2024 and snapping a 20-0-3 unbeaten stretch in Winston-Salem.
The decisive moment came with two seconds left in the first half. Ashley Henderson headed in a corner sequence from Lara Dantas, who was making her season debut, for her first goal of the year and the 12th game-winner of her career. Wake Forest trailed at halftime for the first time this season. Wrianna Hudson settled it in the 83rd minute with her team-leading fifth goal, and Kate Ockene made four saves for her fourth shutout. Florida State outshot the Deacons 16-12 and put 10 on target.
