The win takes Florida State to the semifinals and a meeting with third seeded North Carolina on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Florida State struck first when Carly Wynn doubled to open the bottom of the first and later scored off a wild pitch. The Seminoles doubled their lead in the third as Wynn scored off an RBI single from Michelle Snyder.
