Stone Bridge High School junior Briana Alston has made an early verbal commitment to continue her soccer career at nationally-ranked Florida State University starting in the 2016-2017 school year.

“After doing over 15 unofficial visits to UCLA, UNC, Boston College, UVA, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, Miami and several others – Florida State was the one that just felt right.  I loved the attitude of all the players, I immediately felt connected to the coaches.  Their style of play is exactly what I was looking for,” the 5-foot-10 Alston said. “The academics at FSU are strong and the meeting with the academic advisors went very well, and they showed me exactly how I could achieve my academic goals as well as my soccer goals.  Florida State is also a big supporter of the US Women’s National Team and that was one of my requirements – a team that would support that goal of mine as well.”
