STOCKTON — They haven't played each other yet, but Florida State already has beaten Oregon State.

Of course, the only competition that really matters between the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season runners-up and the Pac-12 Conference regular-season champions won't take place until the second semifinal of the NCAA Women's Championship — Stockton Regional at about 3:30 p.
