CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) \u2013 Following a tightly contested semifinal round, top-seeded Stanford and third-seeded Florida State sealed an all-ACC national championship match at the 2025 NCAA Women\u2019s College Cup, set for Monday, December 8, at CMKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU.<\/p>\n
The Seminoles clinched their spot with a 1-0 win over second-seeded TCU on Friday, December 5. After a scoreless first half, Wrianna Hudson chipped in a Peyton McGovern cross in the 72nd minute for the eventual game-winner. The Florida State defense, which held the Horned Frogs to just two shots on goal, secured the victory, capped off by a 90th-minute kick save from goalkeeper Kate Ockene. The Noles return to the title match for the fourth time since 2018 and seek their fifth national championship.<\/p>\n
Stanford earned its berth in the final behind a 10th-minute goal from a free kick off the foot of Jasmine Aikey, holding off second-seeded Duke for a 1-0 result. Following the early goal, the Cardinal defense limited the Blue Devils to just two shots on frame for the remainder of the match to preserve the clean sheet. Stanford seeks its fourth national title and first since 2019.<\/p>\n
This season\u2019s championship will be the ACC\u2019s 27th in league history and 33rd among its current membership.
