Let’s take a look at how FSU’s Olympic sport teams did this past week.

While much of the attention is paid to the major FSU sports, including football, basketball and baseball, there is plenty of other athletic competition going on right now on the Tallahassee campus and across the country involving the ‘Noles. Here’s a recap of how some of the Olympic sports fared this past week.

Softball

It is now a three peat for the Lady ‘Noles as champions of the ACC’s Postseason Tournament. The sixth ranked team took out 20th ranked Notre Dame 7-3 on Saturday to bring home the title after winning the first two games of the tournament by a combined score of 15-1. FSU softball had to wait until Sunday night to find out their NCAA Tournament seeding…and it’s a good one. The Lady ‘Noles are the No. 8 seed nationally and will open regional play in Tallahassee, joined in the regional by FAMU, USF and South Carolina.

Men’s and Women’s Track and Field

The Seminoles played host to the annual ACC Outdoor Championships this weekend at Mike Long Track. On the women’s side, it was another conference championship for the Seminoles as FSU finished with 106.5 points, which was enough to put them far ahead of second place Miami. On the men’s side, the Seminoles tried to make a late push, but finished in a tie for fourth place while Virginia Tech was crowned the champs.
