LOCKED DOWN IN GREENSBORO

Defender Kristin Grubka battled for possession against No. 4 Virginia during the 2014 ACC Championship Game in Greensboro, North Carolina. Known for her composure and dominance in the air, Grubka was a key leader on FSU’s back line. The Seminoles secured their third ACC Championship under head coach Mark Krikorian, who was named National Coach of the Year after the season. Grubka’s defensive presence helped keep Virginia’s high-powered attack scoreless, foreshadowing FSU’s ability to repeat the feat a month later in the College Cup Final.
