Did you have a "Good" year at FSU?

When I'm asked this question, I often say, 'wait til grades come out' before I know for sure.  Well by every measure, we've had a great year at FSU!  Our team just improved on a best-ever GPA from the Fall by earning a team average 3.59 this Spring semester.  7 players earned a perfect 4.0 in the Spring while 14 of our 20 active players earned a 3.5 or better! 19 players now have a cumulative GPA above 3.0.  We will easily earn the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the 4th year in a row but more importantly - FSU women's soccer players are better prepared for the job market or graduate school than ever before.   The athletic and academic achievements of these players continues to be truly amazing as we set the bar higher and higher here at Frostburg State.

Relay for Life at FSU

Players in our Stadium during the 2011 Relay for Life event

The FSU Women's Soccer team raised nearly $1200 for the American Cancer Society as part of this year's annual Relay for Life Fundraising event in the FSU Stadium.  The team "relayed" on Friday night, played lots of soccer on the stadium field, and helped FSU raise over $50,000 for ACS this year. The team once again, raised more money than any other FSU sports team and was among the 12 best fundraising groups campus wide.

Relay for Life and Spring Play-Day

On Friday at 6pm, the annual Relay for Life Cancer Fundraiser will be held in the FSU Stadium. Its a meaningful and unifying fundraising event that nearly every organization on campus participates in in some way.  So far, FSU Women's Soccer has raised over $1,000 for this effort.  You'll find our team page at the FSU site linked here:

Memories of Costa Rica

An important part of our team trip to Costa Rica was our visit to a Children's Center in the Capital of San Jose.  We presented some books and gifts to the children and then spent time with the preschoolers in the school courtyard. It was a moving experience for many of our players and parents.

This Way to the Beach!

We began our 3-day stay at Flamingo Beach on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica today.  80 degrees and simply beautiful.  This resort is fantastic!  The rooms, food, and location are all outstanding.  Some photos of today's sunset and the larger panoramic photo above are on the slideshow linked on the right of this page. As they say in Costa Rica "Pura Vida" !

A Great Game in the Mountains of Costa Rica!

FSU and the San Carlos Team after our game on Jan. 17th

A great game at the Tilajari Resort field saw FSU score 5 times on the way to a convincing victory on tour in Costa Rica.  Adria Graham put in a 1st-half goal before Amanda Wharton scored a hat-trick with 3 in a row over a 10 minute span in the 2nd half.  Erin Ford headed home a Liz Seligman corner to finish the scoring.  The San Carlos players, coaches, and parents were all wonderful hosts sharing gifts and local fruit after the game.  Perhaps the zip-line tour in the shadow of an active Volcano and visit to the Baldi Hot Springs resort provided the Frostburg players some inspiration!

Fun on a night out for dinner in San Jose, Costa Rica

We've had a terrific start to our trip to Central America.  The Arenal team gave us quite a lesson in Costa Rican soccer in our first game of the tour.  Their speed of play and skill forced us to really chase the game before finally getting into some rhythm ourselves as the game progressed.  We were much more prepared for our 2nd game against UCEM and had the ball much more and created great chances throughout the game.  Taylor Jenkins headed home a great goal while Kierstin Stevenson hit the post and Amanda Wharton forced the UCEM keeper to make several terrific saves.  We head to the San Carlos region of Costa Rica tomorrow near the active Arenal volcano!

We've Arrived in Costa Rica!

After our workout in Frederick on the way to National Airport, we had a change in our travel plans and spent the evening in Charlotte before continuing on to San Jose today.  The flights were great and on-time as we touched down to 75 degree temperatures!  Our hotel in the Capital is a 4-Star Barcelo property and it is fantastic.  We worked out at a nearby field before having a great dinner and were then treated to a fun presentation of traditional Costa Rican dance.  Our first game is tomorrow after a good nights sleep...

We're going to Costa Rica!

Our team trip to Costa Rica begins on Wednesday.  We'll create an image gallery on this site as soon as we can upload photos from the trip. Our trip information is available here:
