Conference Games

We play in a great competitive conference that provides us with a consistent schedule and some great rivalries.  These regular season games determine who qualifies for our conference tournament and gets to host home games in that tournament.   We have had a challenging start to our season but have grown as a team from our experiences and will be as competitive as possible in the CAC.

Soccer Golf!

A soccer season feels a bit like a round of golf.  You get about 18 tries and anytime you might crush a drive into the woods, you can't let that negatively influence your next tee shot.  Of course, you learn from it and make adjustments, but you never completely change your technique or approach from hole to hole, or from game to game.  In fact, the challenge is to resist the temptation to make radical changes to your game and have confidence that your preparation and practice and persistence will eventually pay dividends.  You have to realize that how you end each hole, and end the round, is much more important that how you started.

Competitive College Soccer!

We won our first home game on Wednesday night in a tight 1-0 game then dropped a road game on Saturday in double overtime 0-1.   These are some of the ups and downs of competitive college soccer and our players are focused on our simple mission of getting better every day.  All of our seasonal goals are within reach and we realize testing ourselves against good competition is exactly how we'll reach those goals.  2 more good regional opponents this week!  Away on Wednesday at 4pm and home on Saturday at 2.

Opening Weekend!

We played a couple very good teams in Pittsburgh this past weekend and while we didn't prevail on the scoreboard, we've certainly learned a lot about our team.   We were competitive with a top-25 team on Friday and were dominant for long stretches as we tried to chase a 2nd goal against Wooster on Saturday.  Brooke Shehade scored an excellent goal to open her scoring account for 2017 and we got great performances from a number of players.   We have our home opener on Wednesday at 7pm and look forward to defending our home turf against a very good W&J team.

True "Student-Athletes" at FSU

Our team just earned one of our best-ever team GPAs with a 3.546 team average this Spring!  7 players earned perfect 4.0s - Melanie Bell, Rhi Lapen, Jessi Martz, Haley Dalphon, Gwen Schemm, Rylee Learn, and Emily Rhinaman.  Another 6 players earned only one "B" grade for the semester - Kourtney McLain, AJ Malanik, Katie Broadhurst, Dani Ferris, Anais Ventura, and Kelly Richards.  That means those 13 players, over half of our team, earned 56 "A" class grades against only 6 "B"s.  21 of our 22 Spring season players earned a 3.0 or better.

Our women's soccer players are outstanding students that are highly committed to their studies and have all the options they could want with a college degree. Very proud of our team!

Relay for Life and Alumni Game

FSUWS raised over $1100 for cancer research and patient care at the 2017 FSU Relay for Life event this past Friday night.   On Saturday, a terrific alumni group of players visited FSU for our annual Alumni game.  Goals by Nikki Rieland and Brooke Longo were not enough to overcome the spirited current FSU team who prevailed in the game 5-2.   A great weekend to support a meaningful fundraiser and celebrate our women's soccer graduates.
