Let’s take a look at how FSU and their 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 was a short, but plentiful week for the top ranked Lady ‘Noles as they took the field for a three game weekend series against ACC foe Pittsburgh. The first two games in the series due to run rules, with FSU winning 14-3 and 12-4 before getting the sweep with a 5-0 victory over the Panthers on Sunday. Florida State will again get the week off before heading back to work this weekend in a three game series on the road at Syracuse.

Men’s and Women’s Track and Field
Both teams sent athletes down to Gainesville this weekend for the Florida Relays, seeing impressive showings in such events as the shot put and the triple jump. Next weekend, they will be at another SEC program, as they will take part in the Tennessee Relays hosted in Knoxville by the Volunteers.
Men’s and Women’s Tennis
It was a weekend to forget for the men’s team, as the 27th ranked Seminoles dropped both their matches against Duke and North Carolina. The ACC schedule will continue this weekend with home matches against Notre Dame and Boston College. The women’s team had better luck with home wins against Boston College and Syracuse before taking the upcoming weekend off.
Men’s and Women’s Golf
The Lady ‘Noles returned to Tallahassee this week as winners of the Clemson Invitational, finishing the weekend 10 under par, two spots ahead of second place Furman and three ahead of rival Florida.
