Florida State Completes 2012 Football Schedule

Wednesday, 22 February 2012 10:40 | Written by Seminoles.com |

FSU Football Schedule Florida State officials announced Wednesday that Savannah State will replace West Virginia on the 2012 home schedule. The Seminoles were contracted to play the Mountaineers on September 8th in Tallahassee, but West Virginia notified FSU on February 3 that they would not honor the commitment leaving Florida State with little time and few options to replace the home game.

"West Virginia's announcement at the 11th hour really put us in a very difficult position," said FSU Director of Athletics Randy Spetman. "We contacted every BCS school that had an opening in hopes of replacing WVU with a BCS opponent, but none of those few schools could make it work either because of our dates or theirs. It is important for our fans to realize that the schools we contacted during the search did not pass on the 2012 game out of concern for the competition, but because of challenges they faced with schedule changes this late in the year.

FSU Walks By Jacksonville

Tuesday, 21 February 2012 22:13 | Written by Seminoles.com |

FSU Baseball Eighth-ranked Florida State (4-0) came from behind for the fourth time in as many games this year to remain undefeated downing Jacksonville (0-4) 16-9 Tuesday evening on Mike Martin Field inside Dick Howser Stadium.

The Seminoles pounded out 14 hits and drew 13 walks en route to winning their fourth game in a row over the Dolphins. The 16 runs were the most scored by FSU in the series since the 2006 Athens Regional when the Seminoles defeated JU 18-0.

"It was a good win, it really was," said Florida State head coach Mike Martin. "When you fall behind by four, it was a game in which you could see the experienced players take charge of every opportunity that was provided to them. I was very pleased with our at-bats."

FSU Sweeps Hofstra to Open 2012 Season

Sunday, 19 February 2012 21:53 | Written by Seminoles.com |

FSU Baseball Ninth-ranked Florida State (3-0) scored five runs in the first and never looked back in defeating Hofstra (0-3) 13-6 to complete the series sweep on Sunday in front of 4,651 fans on Mike Martin Field inside Dick Howser Stadium.

The Seminoles improved to 16-0 all-time against the Pride, while head coach Mike Martin moved to within 24 wins of reaching 1,700 career victories.

"It was really fun to see our guys play the way they are supposed to play against a team that is much improved from what we saw last year," said head coach Mike Martin. "I was very impressed with the Hofstra team, but at the same time very impressed with our guys by the way we played the game and took it to them. They kept coming back at us; you have to give them credit."

Noles Hang On For 10-8 Victory

Saturday, 18 February 2012 22:34 | Written by Seminoles.com |

FSU Baseball It wasn't the start or the finish that Florida State (2-0) was hoping for on Saturday afternoon but the Seminoles fought through an early season test and found a way to win in the end hanging on for the 10-8 victory in game two of the series against Hofstra (0-2).

The Seminoles erased an early four-run deficit and then survived a ninth inning rally by the Pride to remain undefeated against Hofstra in 15 all-time meetings. With the win on Saturday, Florida State ran its streak of consecutive opening weekend series victories to 31 in years in a row.

"A couple of fortunate things happened, unfortunate for us in the ninth inning, but yet we persevered, stayed tough and got it done," said head coach Mike Martin. "I learned a lot about our club today and to be honest with you, when we fell down by four, I was anxious to see how we would respond, and I thought we responded very well."
