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!
Just a great result to start our season at the MD Soccerplex stadium on Friday. To be expected, the game was frantic at the start for both teams. As our players started to keep the ball and use spaces smartly, we got several good chances and scored twice in each half. A big save early by Ashley Bilger set the stage for our offense and we were fortunate to have 4 different players score goals. The shutout is always our objective and we put up a good defensive performance.
We've had a great but long preseason! We've explored Western Maryland a bit and have come together as a team. We'll open our regular season at the MD Soccerplex Stadium and we are all excited of course. This is a special group than could do some special things this year.
Hope you can come see us play!
We'll open our Fall schedule at the MD Soccerplex on August 26th before a trip to New Jersey. The defense of our MEC North Division Title begins Sept 7th at home.
Come see our 2022 team!
Our players had an awesome Spring! Our first 'normal' Spring season since moving up to Division 2. We got to play some really competitive games in a full semester of the expanded training model we really love about the D2 change. Our team was also studying hard of course and doing things like going to campus shows and plays and being great teammate.
A big change our players have really enjoyed since moving to Division 2 is playing more real Spring season games! We're allowed 5 of them now and are excited to play some teams we would not ever face now in the Fall. We'll play teams from each of the 3 NCAA Divisions. Here's our Spring Schedule:
Our team has had a terrific start to the Spring 22 semester. We've played lots of Futsal for our indoor season and below are the 2 Seasonal team champions. Team USA won our Apertura Season tournament and Team Peru won the 2nd half or Clausura Season championship. We did a local clinic for National Girls and Women in Sports Day and we've gotten outside a bit as well to prepare for our Spring Outdoor season. A special shoutout to our awesome Athletic Trainer, Hillary Jones, for Nationals Athletic Trainer Month 2022. Thanks for all you do!
We had a great Annual Awards Banquet and announced our "Players Choice" awards for the Fall 2021 season.

Our Senior Class had a busy 2021. Playing a covid shortened Spring season and then our first full Fall season since 2019. Not sure we will ever again have an opportunity to win 2 regular-season titles in one calendar year! An unprecedented and history year.

We've had a good run of form and have stayed atop the MEC North table. Homecoming was especially important for us this year as Amy Foote became only the 2nd FSUWS player to enter the FSU Athletics Hall of Fame! Congrats Amy! Here she is with our current Senior Class on a visit to our team room on the evening of her induction.
