A Great Summer of Camps!

We've had another great summer of camps at FSU!  We had both new groups and some returners enjoy the terrific summer weather in the Mountains of Western Maryland.  Good luck in your Fall seasons!

New Locker Room!

The best meeting I had this year was with our engineer at FSU to design our new FSUWS Locker Room.  The animation below was the result.  30 custom wood lockers, new paint and carpeting with FSU logos, a leather love seat and ottomans, HDTV, white board, and audio system.  We made sure we included good WiFi and charging stations! We'll add some custom cabinets and a fridge as well.  And Yes - the lockers just arrived and are waiting to be installed!   Our players deserve this.  Thank you FSU and generous Alumni donors!

Grades Matter!

Our players just proved once again how important academic achievement is here at FSU and in our women's soccer program.  Our team just achieved a 3.48 Team GPA for the Spring semester!  That's one of our best-ever academic semesters.  7 players from our Fall roster earned perfect 4.0s -  Haley Dalphon, Dani Ferris, Melanie Bell, Brooke Longo, Rhianna Lapen, Gina Rock, and Chelsie McCoy.   2 freshmen and a Sophomore - Haley, Dani, and Melanie - have not gotten a "B" grade yet in college!   17 of our 25 rostered players earned a 3.5 or better.   It was a great Spring season for FSUWS and an even better semester in the classroom. 

Congrats Seniors!

A great weekend for our Senior class as they participated in commencement at FSU and will begin the next chapter of their lives.
Here, Chelsie McCoy, Paige Gray, and Kelsey Wentworth pause for a photo before the Saturday ceremony.

FSU Sports Banquet!

A great end of year celebration for FSU Athletics!  Our Team MVP was Sr Brooke Longo, our Captain and 4-Time All-CAC center mid.  Photos here are of Brooke receiving her award from Jr Presenter Kelsie Folch, our Team and Sr Class.  Congrats Seniors!!

A Great Relay and Alumni Game!

The best alumni team to return to FSU in recent years gave the current team all they could handle today in the FSU Stadium.  A great pass by Kelsi Folch put Dani Ferris into great space and she finished the goal nicely for the narrow 1-0 win for the active roster.  The alumni team hit the post on a corner late but could not get the equalizer.  At one point the game featured 3 conference Players of the Year and 10 All-Conference players. 
The picture here is of our very successful Relay for Life team on Friday night.  Once again, FSUWS raised more than any other athletic team and ranked 7th among all campus groups in the 2016 FSU Relay.

Here's a flashback to an alumni game 2009!

Spring Game!

On Saturday, April 23rd, we traveled to Shippensburg University to kickoff a Spring Game at Noon.  The D2 PSAC team is a frequent opponent for both Fall and Spring friendlies and always provide good competitive games and Saturday was no different.   All of our players played significant minutes on a beautiful day for soccer and we prevailed 1-0.  Kelsi Folch fired a perfect shot into the upper corner of the goal mid-way through the first half and that goal held up.  Great chances throughout the game came from Jessi Martz, Melissa Krofcheck, Katie Broadhurst, and Brooke Longo.  Ship turned on some late pressure but our back line and goalkeepers were terrific and we got the shutout. 

Our Alumni game next Saturday the 30th at 2pm will conclude our Spring season.

Our First Hall of Famer!

Karen Kotofski was one of the most prolific goal scorers in NCAA history.  She scored 20 goals a year over her 4 years totaling 83 collegiate goals winning 4 Conference Titles.   That's 30 MORE goals scored then the next closest goal scorer in FSU soccer history, men's or women's.   She is very properly the first-ever FSU Women's Soccer Hall of Fame inductee and will be honored at the annual Hall of Fame Banquet at FSU on Friday October 21st.    Shown here (#4) with her Senior Class, one of most successful in FSU Soccer history.

Spring Training Starts!

We got outside this week to start training in our stadium and will continue our Spring Season throughout April.  We'll play in a Spring game at Shippensburg, PA on Saturday, April 23rd at Noon and have our Alumni Game on Saturday April 30th.
