It’s Thursday, Florida State fans. As your day and week wind down, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.

Lead Story

The first meeting of the season between Florida State softball and rival Florida on Wednesday night in Gainesville went the way of the Seminoles, 2-0.

FSU redshirt senior pitcher Meghan King picked up the win in the top-10 match-up, going the distance and allowing just six hits while walking none and striking out eight. All-American Kelly Barnhill took the loss for Florida.

The Seminoles got on the board early by manufacturing a run on a sacrifice fly by Elizabeth Mason in the first inning. Makinzy Herzog would add some insurance with a solo home run in the fourth. Sydney Sherrill had two of the four FSU hits in the victory.
