Seminoles take down Hokies

BLACKSBURG -- The No. 17 Virginia Tech women's soccer team fell into an early hole it couldn't quite overcome and fell to No. 4 Florida State 2-1.

Seven seniors played their final match at Thompson Field and were honored before the game, accompanied by their parents and siblings.

Kelly Lynch netted her first career goal to break up a possible shutout for Seminole keeper Erin McNulty in the second half.

Florida State (14-3-1, 7-2-1 ACC) took the lead early as the ACC's leading scorer Tiffany McCarty netted the first goal of the game, firing the ball into the back of the net from five yards out. There was a scramble in the box after Becky Edwards, who earned the assist on the play, had her shot blocked by a Hokie defender, which opened up the net for McCarty to score.

The Seminoles outshot the Hokies (13-6, 6-4 ACC) 8-2, but they only tallied two on goal.

In the 50th minute, it was McCarty with another score for the Seminoles, earning her fourth two-goal game of the season.
