Game Recap
Miami sat deep for most of the game. This conservative tactic allowed the Canes to clog the passing lanes and limit the space that Florida State had in the attacking third.
However, in the 17th minute the Noles earned their first chance. Carissa Boeckmann spotted Jordynn Dudley making a run through the midfield. Dudley sent the ball over to Marianyela Jiménez who was wide open on the right side. Jiménez took a couple of touches before firing a low left footed shot toward goal.
