Spring sports are back, and peace will be restored. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5p\">Florida State rolls into spring loaded with a whole lot of talent across seven sports: baseball, softball, men\u2019s and women\u2019s golf, men\u2019s and women\u2019s tennis, outdoor track and field, women\u2019s lacrosse, and my personal favorite, beach volleyball. <\/p>\n<p>Baseball<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5v\">Starting off strong with <a href=\"https:\/\/chopchat.com\/despite-roster-turnover-fsu-baseball-among-6-teams-with-best-odds-to-make-history\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Florida State Baseball<\/a> opening in mid-February looking to build on a 42-16 season in 2025 that included a second-place finish in the ACC and a run to the NCAA Super Regionals. The Seminoles hosted regional play in Tallahassee, showcasing an explosive offense and a lot of pitching depth that carried them through the postseason. The 2026 season may look a bit different following key offensive departure, but with impactful transfers arriving, returning standouts like Myles Bailey, and continued pitching strength under Link Jarrett, expectations remain high for another postseason run.<\/p>\n<p>Softball<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"61\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chopchat.com\/four-burning-questions-for-fsu-softball-before-2026-season-gets-underway-this-week\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FSU softball<\/a> begins its season tomorrow at the JoAnne Graf Classic against Samford, coming off a dominant 44-7 overall record and an 18-2 mark in ACC play. The Seminoles claimed the ACC regular season title and hosted an NCAA Regional for the 11th straight season. With one of the top offenses in the country and a pitching staff that consistently ranks among the ACC\u2019s best in ERA, Florida State is entering its 2026 season with championship expectations. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8UPDATED SCHEDULE\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n<p>FSU will no longer play two games this Friday but will play a game on Sunday against UConn at 9 a.m with free admission\u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>New schedule\u2b07\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Team43?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#Team43<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HLh1zh6Az3\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/HLh1zh6Az3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Florida State Softball \ud83e\udd4e (@FSU_Softball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FSU_Softball\/status\/2018846588022743471?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 4, 2026<\/a>Golf<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6a\">On the course, women\u2019s golf is already in full swing having just taken their first tournament win in Guadalajara, Mexico. After starting the final day in second place, the Noles swiftly moved into first with a 4-under par 284 to secure a three-shot victory. The Seminoles are coming off a top-10 national finish last season, highlighted by impressive individual performances and key ACC regional wins. The men\u2019s team also finished strong with a No. 10 ranking and look to return to the NCAA Championship with experienced leadership and depth, when their spring begins in mid-February. <\/p>\n<p>Tennis<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6g\">Men\u2019s and women\u2019s tennis are well into their dual season, navigating challenging schedules. The men\u2019s team currently sits at 6-3, while the women see 2-2. With improved singles depth and consistency in the lineup, both programs have a shot to climb the ACC standings and secure postseason bids. <\/p>\n<p>Outdoor Track and Field<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">Outdoor track and field are also already underway building on a strong 2025 season that saw fourteen ACC qualifiers and several NCAA appearances across men\u2019s and women\u2019s sprints, distance, and field events. The Seminoles bring a lot of strength, speed, and depth to the outdoor slate with similar expectations of send another strong group to nationals.<\/p>\n<p>Lacrosse<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6s\">This spring also marks an exciting milestone as Florida State introduces its 11th female sport, women\u2019s lacrosse. With its inaugural season on the horizon, I am excited to see the continued growth of women\u2019s athletics in Tallahassee.<\/p>\n<p>Beach Volleyball<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6y\">I saved the best for last with my girls over at beach volleyball. The Noles return to the sand February 20 at the Unconquered Invitational with momentum after a 26\u201313 season and a top-10 national finish, ready to make their name know this season. The Noles are going to see a lot change this year as they transition into the Big 12 conference after graduating four seniors and adding eight new faces. New conference, new pairs, but the same end goal, a national championship. I am eager to watch!<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"71\">Even now from a distance, I am so excited to follow along every step of the way. Spring at Florida State has always been different, and this year is no exception.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a whirlwind fall that gave us another year of heartbreak on the football field, a national championship&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":{"0":"post-143505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tallahassee","8":"tag-tallahassee","9":"tag-tallahassee-headlines","10":"tag-tallahassee-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
