Florida State had enough pop in the bats and a shutout performance in the circle in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals on Thursday.

Kennedy Harp and Kalei Harding hit solo home runs, while Allison Royalty and Ashtyn Danley combined on a four-hitter in FSU's 2-0 win over Notre Dame.

Royalty (7-5) tossed four innings, allowing three hits, a walk and hit two batters. Danley gave up just a hit and a walk in three innings.

FSU got a little help from its defense, too. A 5-4-3 double play wrapped up the first inning. Royalty also got a groundout to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth.

The Seminoles (42-13) have won all four games against Notre Dame in 2024. FSU will next play the Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech winner on Friday at 3:30 p.m. (ACC Network).

In the other quarterfinals, Duke defeated Boston College and Clemson knocked out Virginia.

FSU has won eight out of the last nine ACC Tournament Championships. The Seminoles are looking for their third straight league tournament title.

It was FSU's first shutout in the ACC Tournament since 2021 when they beat NC State 2-0 in the quarterfinals.
