FSU Relays in 2017

Spring Time!?

We've had a great start to our Spring season in spite of the weather not really cooperating.  We had some late season snow fall and an occasional gale force wind!  But our players are focused on getting better every day whether we are on the turf, in the gym, or in the strength and fitness rooms!

First Day of Spring Season!

Always a beautiful day for soccer!

Spring Season!

We'll start training outside after Spring Break on March 26th and have 2 home dates this Spring!
April 22nd, 2pm - vs Shippensburg
April 28th, 2pm - Alumni Game!

More Academic Awards!

The ECAC recognizes Scholar Athletes by naming an "Academic Honor Roll".  There are 2 standards - returning student-athletes need to achieve a minimum 3.2 GPA in the Fall semester.  Those with a 3.6 or better are named to the "President's Honor Roll"
FSUWS had a remarkable 14 players selected to the Fall 2017 ECAC Honor Roll with 8 of those players earning 4.0s!  Congratulations!

Here's the story and our listing (only returning players were eligible):
ECAC Honor Roll for Fall 2017

Here's a listing of those honored from our team:

Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

We just returned from a wonderful week long team tour of Costa Rica.  It's the third trip we've taken as a program with Costa Rica Soccer Tours in the past 10 years.  We went 1-1-1 in 3 games on the trip and scored goals in all 3 matches.  Most importantly, we grew closer as a team, explored a wonderful Central American culture, and have jump-started our 2018 season in the most unique way possible.   We'll post lots of pictures here soon but below are a few of our favorites.

What a Great Year!

2017 was a terrific year for FSU Women's Soccer.  Below is a list of some of our team's accomplishments.  We are thankful to be able to earn valuable Degrees and play the beautiful game with the wonderful support of the University community here at Frostburg State.  Happy New Year!

Super Student-Athletes!

We confirmed today that we achieved our most important team goal for the year. Our players reconfirm their commitment to academic achievement every semester by continuing the high standard we've set here in FSU Women's Soccer.
Our team achieved a 3.49 Team GPA for the Fall semester with 11 players earning a 4.0 GPA! The 11 is likely a record high number. Adding in the 4 additional players that earned only 1 "B" grade and that means over half our team, 15 players, earned 60 "A" grades in 64 total classes this Fall.

These 11 players earned perfect 4.0s this semester:
Katie Broadhurst, Jenny Bullers, Danielle Ferris, Sienna Grau, Rylee Learn, Alyssa Malanik, Rebecca Phillip, Emily Rhinaman, Kelly Richards, Gwen Schemm, and Hailey Turney.

Congratulations and have a wonderful holiday!

Some 2017 Highlights:

Great Season!

The first day after the season ends is always a tough day.  What am I going to do this afternoon?   Haven't asked that question in awhile.   Our team was terrific this year and our growth throughout the season was evident and fun to watch.  We'll reflect on that season and celebrate our Senior Class at our team banquet on Sunday, Dec. 10th at 4pm in the Lyric Theatre.  Our Seniors provided our team an excellent example and terrific leadership this season.   They will be missed.

2017 FSUWS Seniors!

Continuing our Season

We're proud to continue our season in the ECAC Tournament and even more proud to host the group of 4 teams here at FSU!  We will play at 2:00pm here at Frostburg State on Saturday with an opportunity to advance to Sunday's game at Noon.

The 'Championship' Season

The final part of any season is often the most exciting.  We've been in position to compete for conference championships over many years here at FSU and it never seems any less thrilling and exciting for the players and fans.  Of course, your post-season only lasts as long as you can win games so there's pressure and intensity and lots of factors that come into play.   This year our team has clearly peaked at the right time and has played very good soccer for the last few weeks.  Shutting out opponents in 5 straight games is a testament to our experienced back line and the energy and defensive commitment all our players have made.  This weekend, we face the biggest test of our season against the best team in our Conference Final and our players are ready for the challenge.  

Awesome 2017 Seniors!

There's nothing more rewarding about college soccer than watching the incredible progress made by players throughout their 4-year journey to a degree and graduation.  These 5 FSUWS Seniors have been through so much and worked so hard to sustain the quality of our program in their 4 seasons.  They have been an inspiration to others.  Winning their Senior Day game, a very important conference game on Homecoming Day against a big rival, was one of many memories they will take with them.  Congratulations Seniors!
