Through 15 seasons in Tallahassee, Krikorian has led FSU to a pair of NCAA National Championships in 2014 and 2018, nine College Cup appearances, four appearances in the national title game (2007, 2013, 2014 and 2018), three ACC regular-season titles (2009, 2012 and 2014) and six league championships (2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018). No program has been to the College Cup more often since 2000 than the Seminoles.

"I'm always looking for a ‘thinking player’ … a smart player who possesses good technique. We look at the entire package: athleticism, psychology … what they do on the ball, how they apply information that is given to them.  We want players that will apply the information we are giving them – really important that they can think and solve problems … this especially shows during tough, physical games … how they handle situations and find solutions on their own."--Mark Krikorian
