2001: Garcia started the last ten games of the 2001 season, replacing one of Florida State’s most important players in Marte Vik Edvardsen. The red shirt sophomore has appeared in all 22 games and played a crucial role especially since she assumed starting duties. Recorded her first career goal and first career points at UCF. She then scored just the fifth goal of the year against back-to-back National Champion North Carolina. Just as it happened in FSU’s 3-2 2OT victory over UNC last year, the Seminoles clawed back against the two-time defending national champions after falling behind 1-0. In the 21st minute, senior Marte Vik Edvardsen sent a long ball over the top of a North Carolina defense that was pulling out after clearing the pass. Senior keeper Kristin DePlatchett called of her defenders as she charged the bouncing pass at the top of the Carolina 18 yard box. Midfielder Garcia snuck in behind the defense and got her foot on the pass before DePlatchett could pick the ball up. Garcia sent a high arching shot over the head of the keeper for the second goal of her career and the second goal in just over a week for the red shirt-sophomore. She continued her offensive production against Jacksonville as FSU built on their 3-1 lead in the 82nd minute, recording her third goal of the season and first since she scored at North Carolina. After Camie Bybee was pulled down near the JU goal, FSU was awarded a free kick just outside of the penalty box on the right side. The kick was cleared out of the penalty area and as the defense was pulling out, Garcia one-timed a low shot to the far post, which made its way through a maze of defenders and into the Dolphin net.

Baker on Garcia: She got some great experience behind Rachael Watkin and Marte Vik Edvardsen last season and she started alongside Marte in the central midfield during our spring season. She continues to improve every day and we are fortunate to have her out there playing on a regular basis. I think she is going to have a breakout sophomore season for us and make our central midfield very strong.
