Portland is in second with Stetson (2-1) four appearances but the Pilots have been to just one 0-1 12:42 Jones 1-1 12:57 Yamaguchi (van de Ven) Cup since 2003. Florida State is tied with a pair of National Champions, Santa Clara and Notre Dame, 2-1 74:22 Kuralay (Iturregi, Edwards) for third place with three appearances. FSU and UCLA are also the only two schools to make it to both Miami (2-0) the 2005 and 2006 College Cups. FSU now joins a prestigious list of only 11 programs that have played in 1-0 50:01 Trotter (Yamaguchi) 2-0 77:31 Rowland (Schmidt) back-to-back College Cups and one of just five schools that have accomplished that feat this decade. #9 Wake Forest (3-2) 0-1 20:37 Lebo (Winslow) 1-1 31:01 Kuralay (van de Ven) NICE CHOICE 1-2 48:31 Remy In just two seasons head coach Mark Krikorian is proving himself to be one of the best Division I coaches 2-2 56:29 Kuralay (Ranck, Edwards) 3-2 59:19 Gianeskis in the game. In 2006, he became the first DI coach to ever lead his team to back-to-back College Cups #23 Duke (1-3) in his first two years in the era of the 64-team tournament. Three other coaches have taken their teams 1-0 35:02 Kuralay (Trotter) to the final four in their first two seasons on the job but Krikorian is the only coach of that group to 1-1 46:08 Moros (McCabe, Quinn) 2-1 76:22 Kroyer (Redmond, Tippets) pull off that feat against a full 64-team field. No coach in America has advanced through eight rounds 3-1 86:22 Quinn (Gummersal) of NCAA Tournament play in his first two seasons at a school except for Krikorian. Krikorian hasn’t Jacksonville (3-0) 1-0 26:17 Schmidt (Edwards, Yamaguchi) just been brilliant in the postseason. For the second straight season his teams have recorded at least 18 2-0 63:13 Yamaguchi (Trusty, Swensen) wins. The previous single-season record for wins came in 2003 when FSU recorded 17 victories that 3-0 73:57 van de Ven (Schmidt) Clemson (0-0) year. The two highest win totals in FSU history have now both come under Krikorian as his 38 wins Duke (2-0) are just four short of the wins FSU accumulated in the three seasons before he was hired. It took 92 1-0 32:50 Trusty (Yamaguchi) 2-0 48:53 Kuralay (Yamaguchi) games from 1995 to 1999 for FSU to notch the 38th win in program history yet Krikorian has done it #18 Wake Forest (0-0) in just 50 career games. #1 North Carolina (1-2) 1-0 50:42 Trotter (Edwards) 1-1 57:14 Averbuch (Hawkins) College Cups In Each Of A Coaches’ First Two Seasons 1-2 98:18 Guess (Engen) Jacksonville (6-0) Paul Verhees ..................................................................................................................

FSU played 12 games versus nine teams that were #15 Illinois (1-0) invited to the postseason. After the first three rounds of play, the Seminoles’ schedule looked even 1-0 19:08 Rowland (Schmidt) #21 Clemson (2-1) tougher. Florida State played four games versus the seven teams that were still remaining in the NCAA 0-1 30:27 Franklin Tournament Quarterfinals. Only North Carolina played more (6) and no other team played more than 1-1 49:17 Kuralay (Wagenfuhr) 2-1 62:43 Edwards three. Of the four College Cup participants only Florida State and North Carolina played each other #1 Notre Dame (1-2) competing twice in 2006. Both games decided by one goal including an overtime victory by UNC in 0-1 35:32 Rosen the ACC Championship game. 0-2 38:21 Krivacek (Bock, Hanks) 1-2 51:22 Trotter (Rowland) 42 2006 SEASON IN REVIEW SUCCESS STORY NOTHING NEW The Seminoles have been to seven straight NCAA Tournaments, five round One of the reasons for Florida State’s success in of 16’s, three quarterfinals and three College Cups in the last six seasons. Most the NCAA Tournament has been playing in the amazingly, FSU is already in the top 10 for all-time NCAA Tournament wins ACC. The conference continually proves itself and the Seminoles rank fifth in the history of the NCAA in wins per trip to to be the best in the nation and with seven of 11 the NCAA Tournament. The only schools that have won more games per trip teams making the NCAA Tournament and two to the NCAA’s are North Carolina, Notre Dame, UCLA and Portland. Florida in the College Cup in 2006 nobody can make State is one of just two teams with multiple College Cup appearances in the an argument against the ACC once again. The last three years, one of seven teams to make two of the last three quarterfinals, ACC has placed at least one team in the final one of just nine schools to advance to the third round four or more times four for the 24th time in 25 years. Teams from since 2000 and one of just 14 schools to be invited to seven straight NCAA the Atlantic Coast Conference have excelled in Tournaments. Getting there is one thing but winning once you’re in is another. NCAA Tournament play because of the level Of the teams that have played 10 or more all-time games, FSU has the fifth- of competition. The ACC season is basically highest winning percentage of any team in NCAA Tournament history. Only like playing in the NCAA Tournament. For example, when FSU took on Notre the University of North Carolina, Notre Dame, Portland and UCLA have a Dame in the national semifinal, it was the Seminoles 12th straight game versus better success rate in the tournament. FSU is in elite company as only five a 2006 NCAA Tournament team. No other team played seven straight games teams have a winning percentage of .708 or better and three have won National versus NCAA Tournament teams heading into the NCAA semifinals. Of the Championships this decade (UNC, Notre Dame and Portland). four College Cup teams only Florida State and North Carolina played six in a row and every other team had played five or less. Not only did FSU play 12 All-Time NCAA Tournament Wins and Wins Per Trip straight versus NCAA Tournament teams they dominated that competition. School Wins Trips Wins/Trip Win Pct. In the previous 11 games versus NCAA Tournament teams leading up to the North Carolina 92 25 3.60 .933 semifinals FSU posted a 7-2-2 record. UCLA 30 11 2.73 .744 Notre Dame 39 14 2.71 .755 THEY ARE SPECIAL Portland 37 14 2.64 .754 If there was ever any question to how special seniors India Trotter and Kelly Florida State 16 7 2.29 .708 Rowland are there are really just two categories you need to look at. What Penn State 27 12 2.25 .705 these two players have done when it comes to Santa Clara 40 18 2.22 .698 career starts and NCAA Tournament play is Florida 16 9 1.78 .635 a testament to how much they have done for Connecticut 41 25 1.64 .619 this program.
