Florida State women's golf wins first ACC championship in program history
A team effort. A team. Congrats Coach Bond and Coach Heisey and every Seminole golfer who has worn the garnet and gold! pic.twitter.com/hA2bQGI6JC — FSU Golf (@FSUGolf) April 19, 2025
The Florida State women's golf team captured its first ACC championship in program history, beating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 3-2 on Saturday at the Sedgefield Country Club in Guilford County, North Carolina.
"With everything going on, the girls really stayed where their feet are, played some really good golf, and got it done," head coach Amy Bond said in a press release. "I'm super excited; we have waited a long time for this, and it was well deserved by our crew against a very good Wake Forest squad.
"We've been talking about one shot, one hole and they showed a lot of grit. That's what you've got to do in golf and especially in match play. You never quite know what you are going to come up against, and they fought through it no matter how much they were down and got the job done when they needed to."
Freshman Alexandra Gazzoli clinched the match for the Seminoles on hole No. 18, breaking a four-hole tie and completing the comeback victory. Wake Forest took a 2-1 match lead earlier in the day but FSU won the final two matches to win the day.
Mirabel Ting and Kaylah Williams also won their matches as Lottie Woad and Sophia Fullbrook suffered losses.

UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment
UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment Can UNC's first baseball transfer portal commitment make an immediate impact in 2026? Georgia State transfer catcher Colin Hynek has committed to North Carolina. In 2025, he hit .230 with 18 HRs and 45 RBIs, leading the team in homers and ranking fourth in RBIs and total bases. He had a .586 SLG, .396 OBP, and 36 walks. — Chris Smith (@chrismithunc) June 7, 2025 The UNC baseball team is extremely lucky to have Luke Stevenson behind the dish, but his time in Chapel Hill is likely coming to an end after the current season. Stevenson, mocked to be a first-round pick in July's MLB Draft, is a do-it-all catcher. Stevenson is the Diamond Heels' top power source, mashing 19 home runs, while he's also a defensive stalwart with only two errors. With Stevenson likely gone in 2026, North Carolina needs an answer at catcher. UNC also carries Liberty transfer Macaddin Dye behind the plate, plus Juco transfer Rom Kellis, but wants to add another option. The Diamond Heels are hoping that their latest roster addition is their answer behind the dish. On Saturday, North Carolina secured a commitment from Georgia State transfer Colin Hynek, who started 105 of the 132 games he played in Atlanta. Like Stevenson, Hynek is also a power threat at the plate, mashing 33 home runs and driving in 91 runs across thre seasons. By coming to Chapel Hill, Hynek will have a significantly better shot at competing for a championship. Georgia State just completed a 26-30 campaign and hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 2009, while UNC is playing in the Super Regional round for a second-consecutive season. If you're following recent transactions across college baseball, there's plenty of transfers already in the portal, particularly from the Virginia Cavaliers. The Diamond Heels will benefit from adding more starting pitching to their 2026 roster, while more hitting power couldn't hurt.

SMU Football Preview 2025: The Mustangs Are Built To Do It Again
Well that last season, SMU hadn't won a regular season game against a Power Five-now-Power-Four program against anyone by TCU since an all-time bet-on-yourself move, SMU became a part of the ACC, but without taking a dime of TV revenue until 2032. It was looking to raise the school's profile with a long-term plan, and it helped get the alumni fired up and ready to write and Cal were the higher-profile gets for the ACC, SMU was expected to be a nice scrimmage for the established programs, and then ... probably didn't belong in the expanded College Football Playoff - technically, a case could've been made for BYU instead with an 18-15 win over the Mustangs in Dallas - but let's start with this. If last year at this exact time, you were told SMU would be in the CFP discussion ... X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN2025 SMU PreviewSMU Offense BreakdownSMU Defense BreakdownSeason Prediction, Win Total, Keys to SeasonSMU almost pulled off a thriller of a comeback in a 34-31 loss to Clemson in the ACC Championship, and it got its shot. In the ten years of the College Football Playoff, no two-loss Power Five/Four program would've been left out of an expanded 12-team model - it had to be done. SMU had to be what that the Mustangs were outplayed and outclassed in a blowout loss at Penn State. They made it. Everything the school could've dreamed of came true. SMU made the (bleep)ing College Football Playoff. Texas A&M hasn't done that. Neither has Baylor, Texas Tech, or Houston. Take it outside of the football-mad state - Wisconsin, Florida, Ole Miss, Auburn, Missouri, USC, Utah, and Iowa have yet to make the last year, Penn State and Tennessee hadn't been in, it wasn't a fluke. Okay, so the ACC was fourth among the Power Four conferences by about a gajillion miles. SMU hung up 66 on TCU, walloped Florida State 42-16, took out a good Louisville squad, and in all, beat six teams that went bowling, and again, almost took out Clemson. All head coach Rhett Lashlee has done is go 22-6 over the last two seasons and 29-12 since taking the job in recruiting class was terrific, the staff kept around everyone important, crushed the transfer portal for key positions, the depth is better, and the starting 22 will be more talented than last year's schedule is tougher - Florida State will likely rebound, Miami is on the slate this time around, and good luck with those road trips to TCU and Clemson - and the team will be the hunted, but after last year, you're insane to think SMU can't do it all again.

SMU Football Preview 2025: Mustangs Season Prediction, Win Total Projection, Top Players
X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN2025 SMU PreviewSMU Offense BreakdownSMU Defense Breakdown SMU Mustangs Key to the Season Chill on the a team that was so sharp in so many ways, and so efficient, getting hit with eight penalties for 77.7 yards per game are far too many. And then there are the turnovers - no one in the ACC gave it away more survived the six giveaway fest in the overtime win over Duke, but turned it over eight times in the three losses. SMU Mustangs Key Player Jordan Hudson, WR passing game gets the ball to everyone, and the tight ends are terrific, so there's no real worry about the passing game. The receiving corps is a tad bit questionable, though, with a few good freshmen and untested veterans needing to shine. The Mustangs need a No. 1 guy, and it would be a big help if it's Hudson. SMU Mustangs Top Transfer, Biggest Transfer Loss Top Transfer In: Addison Nichols, OG might be a few more talented, flashier transfers coming in, but Nichols might be the most important. If this works, the junior guard from Arkansas will help stabilize the interior for the next two Transfer Out: Preston Stone, QB Jennings is the star now, and Tyler Van Dyke is a Power Four-starting veteran as the backup, but Stone really was great, throwing 33 touchdown passes and seven picks in his year-and-a-half as the main man running the attack. Now he's at Northwestern. SMU Mustangs Key Game at Clemson, Oct. 18The rematch of the ACC Championship might be everything for the Mustangs. If they're good enough to pull this off, they're good enough to push through the finishing kick, including the home date against if they win this, they have wiggle room to drop an ACC game and still be in the mix for a return trip to the title game.- 2025 SMU Schedule Breakdown SMU Mustangs Top 10 Players 1.

It beat Duke and Louisville on the road, caught a break that Florida State was awful, and didn't have to deal with Miami. This year, Miami is on the slate, the Clemson game is in Death Valley, and Baylor, at TCU, Syracuse, at Boston College, Louisville, and at Cal are all will be good enough to win most of the tough games - especially if it catches fire like last year - and there's no Florida State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, Pitt, Virginia Tech, and, yeah, this matters, Duke. No, it won't be an 11-win season like the last two years, and there won't be a return trip to the ACC Championship.
