Penn State is only the second Big Ten team to ever appear in the National Title game (Wisconsin, 1991).
Leading 1-0 in regulation, Penn State surrendered a goal to the Seminoles with just 41 seconds remaining.
With Florida State riding the momentum, the Nittany Lions abruptly ended the game in the 91st minute, when senior Maddy Evans hit a long pass from the right wing into the box and Nairn touched it in from six yards out.
Penn State will take on the winner of Stanford and North Carolina this Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.
