It took Florida State soccer just under three minutes to open the scoring Sunday night against the University of North Florida.
Midfielder Ashlyn Puerta's goal in the early minutes of the match opened the floodgates for a blitzkrieg of goals from the Seminoles , pummeling the Ospreys 10-0 to extend the program's unbeaten run to 25 games, a program record.
"The coolest part about that is that it involves the ACC grind from last year and the NCAA tournament and ACC tournament grind," Seminoles head coach Brian Pensky said. "We didn't play 25 cupcakes. We won the regular season title and we won an ACC tournament championship and a national championship."
"We had to suffer and fight through a lot of those 25 wins, so it does mean a lot to our program."
Puerta's goal extended the Seminoles' streak of scoring in every game to 36, another program record.
The 10 goals were one goal shy of the program record of 11 goals when the 1995 Seminoles beat Jacksonville 11-0.
There were six different goal scores for the Seminoles, including a hat trick for midfielder Taylor Huff and two goals for defender Camille Ashe. Improving to 2-0-0 on the season, FSU has scored 15 goals in the opening two matches, conceding none.

Huff was the star in the midfield, dictating the tempo of the match and pulling the strings to create a number of opportunities. She scored an Olympico, a goal directly from a corner, and said it was the first of her career.
She added an assist to her three goals, bringing her assist total this season to four already.
"All credit to the team, they put me in great positions," Huff said. "Getting to play them is so much fun. For me it's just playing free and being myself, and that's the confidence I need to have going forward."
Her seven points were one shy of the program record of eight points in a game.
The senior has been a crucial part of head coach Brian Pensky's system, with Huff at the heart of the unbeaten run for the Seminoles.
