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 seventeenth varsity sport in 1998, and have qualified for the NCAA tournament every year since 2000, appearing in the Women's College Cup tournament fourteen 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, 2021, and 2023, winning the national title. The Seminoles had their first undefeated regular season in 2020 and completed their first undefeated season in 2023. On March 29, 2022, Mark Krikorian resigned as head coach; Tennessee coach Brian Pensky was subsequently hired as his replacement. Pensky experienced immediate success with the Seminoles, leading the team to the College Cup in his first season, following that semifinal appearance with the team's fourth national championship in 2023, finishing with an undefeated record.

College Cup
The Seminoles have appeared in the College Cup a total of fourteen times, the second most appearances of any ACC school and second-most nationally behind UNC. Florida State has made seven appearances in the National Championship game; the Seminoles have the second-most national titles, trailing only UNC.
