BATTLE BEFORE THE BREAKTHROUGH

First came the duel. Much later came the pass that helped win a National Championship. Sophomore F/M Taylor Suarez battled against the Stanford Cardinal during the first half of the 2025 College Cup Final at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. With the match still scoreless in the 87th minute, Suarez drove a cross into the goalmouth that deflected to F Wrianna Hudson for the winner. It was Suarez’s fifth assist in the NCAA Tournament and ninth of the season as No. 6 FSU defeated No. 1 Stanford, 1-0.
