The University of Miami women's soccer team (6-6-0, 1-2-0 in the ACC) faced its third consecutive ranked opponent in the No. 5 Florida State Seminoles (10-1-0, 3-0-0), on Sunday afternoon.

Florida State scored twice in a two-minute span in just the fourth and sixth minutes, and the Hurricanes were never able to recover in a 4-1 loss.

FSU outshot the Canes 10-5 in the first half and built a 3-1 lead. Sophomore Julianne Rickers scored UM's lone goal.

``I give credit to FSU for scoring early off a couple set pieces,'' UM coach Tricia Taliaferro said. ``Despite the early goals against us, I thought we played well and created quite a push in the second half.''
