After a great preseason with 2 scrimmages in Frostburg, we played well in our D2 in the DMV Showcase games winning both contests at the MD Soccerplex stadium. We start MEC play with a big conference game at home and start our 2-games-a-week routine next week. A Conference Player of the Week Honor for Cat Smith and our debut in the United Soccer Coaches National Poll at #21 were nice recognitions of our strong start.
We'll also have home Scrimmages on:
Friday, Aug 18th at 7:00
Sat, Aug 26th at 2:00 with a Picnic afterward
FSUWS was named "Program of the Year" at the Annual FSU Athletics 'Burg Awards. The first FSU team to compete in the NCAA Championship Tournament in the D2 era. Congrats!
Join us on our roadtrip across the DMV this Spring!
Our alumni game is at home on Saturday, April 29th at 7:00, after our men's game.
Forward, Lauren Russell, FSU Class of 2011, will be inducted into our FSU Athletics Hall of Fame in October. Lauren scored 64 career goals with 39 assists and was a 4-Time All-Conference player. She was both a Conference Rookie of the Year and then Player of the Year. The picture below of her after scoring a golden goal to win a conference tournament championship in our own stadium in 2009 is truly priceless. What a wonderful person and player! Congrats Lauren!
Records and Facts of Note in 2022
All-Conference Performers! SEVEN! All-Conference performers recognized by the MEC! Including a Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year. A great team with some great players in 2022.
As we finish up one of our best regular-seasons in our history, it's important to slow down and realize what a wonderful time of year it is.
Fall Colors, Candy, Costumes, and Big Soccer Games at FSU!
We are doing great in our MEC Conference Division and hope to be able to host some games here at FSU in our conference Tournament. Several big games are coming up! We had a great but pretty wet Senior Day thanks to Hurricane Ian. We're excited to have a great finish to our 2022 season for these wonderful players.

At 8-0, our current 2022 team has had the best start in FSUWS History and earned a National Ranking! We are #23 in the United Soccer Coaches D2 poll and #3 in the Atlantic Region. We have a terrific talented group that has also learned to be resilient. We've been down 0-1 and came back to win 2-1 then went down 0-2 and scored 4 unanswered to win 4-2 in our last game. We're growing and learning lessons and realizing we can win games in any 1 of the 90 minutes.
A couple tougher conference games this week but we got the results we needed to stay atop the MEC North standings and remain undefeated. The United Soccer Coaches poll has us at Atlantic Region #3...
2 big games this week and another FSUWS players named player of the week! This time our outstanding goalkeeper, Ashley Bilger, was the MEC Defensive Player of the Week!
We've scored 8 goals in our first 2 MEC games and allowed zero! An awesome start to our conference season. It's been great to rotate players and use our entire roster and we've had some impressive performances. Hoping to keep our focus on each day and each game and learn to have a consistent performance level as we progress through a tough regular season.
Shoutout to Toni Fiocco-Mizer who was the MEC Offensive Player of the Week!
