Jamaican stars Kameron Simmonds, Solai Washington, and Mimi Van Zanten helped power the No. 6 Florida State Seminoles to a thrilling 3-2 comeback win over No. 8 North Carolina in the ACC Tournament Championship on Sunday. With this victory, Florida State claimed its fifth consecutive ACC Tournament title and the 11th in program history, marking an impressive 10 wins in the past 12 years.

 The final was fiercely contested, with North Carolina starting strong and taking the lead with a penalty kick. However, Florida State quickly responded when freshman Taylor Suarez found the net, equalizing with a powerful strike from outside the box. UNC regained the lead with a header just before halftime, putting Florida State on the back foot for the second time in the game.

 Midway through the second half, Florida State surged back. Substitute Ashlyn Puerta was fouled inside the box, leading to a penalty that senior captain Taylor Huff converted with precision, leveling the score at 2-2. Minutes later, freshman Wrianna Hudson secured Florida State's lead with a stunning left-footed half-volley, giving the Seminoles a 3-2 advantage that they held until the final whistle.

 Jamaican Solai Washington earned All-Tournament honours for her standout performance throughout the competition, joining her teammate Huff, who was named Tournament MVP. This win cements the Seminoles’ dominance in the ACC, having defeated North Carolina five times in ACC title matches over the years.

 The Reggae Girlz trio, Simmonds, Washington, and Van Zanten, now look ahead to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament, with the selection show scheduled for Monday, November 11.
