A Good Start to Conference Play

We made it interesting but had a great finish to our first CAC game of 2016 and won 4-2 at home to start conference play this season.  Haley Dalphon scored 3 times, Dani Ferris had a great header, and Brooke Shehade had 2 assists for our "parents weekend" game on a beautiful day for soccer in Bobcat Stadium.  We  have a tough non-conference matchup at home Wednesday night before traveling to Southern Maryland next weekend.

Playing good teams

If you want to be a good team, you have to play good teams that really challenge you.  HeroSports has our schedule ranked as the 33rd toughest in the Nation in Division III, out of over 400 teams.  As we enter conference play this weekend, we'll begin to find out if our tough schedule will pay dividends.   Our home stand continues on Saturday at 2pm.

Big Win at Home!

A terrific comeback win tonight at home was well deserved on a beautiful night for soccer here at FSU!  After an equalizing goal forced in by Bryce Papp just before halftime, Katie Broadhurst ran down a through ball in the 2nd half and calmly set up a wonderful left-footed strike.  It was the game winner and the highlight appears on our YouTube page now.   We are in a run playing 4 or 5 games at home and look to build momentum heading into conference play.

Growing Every Day!

We may have the toughest schedule in our history this year.  We just played the #12 ranked team in the nation and proved we can compete with some of the best teams in Division III.  Our players realize we will only get better, and get stronger, by playing teams that will challenge us week in and week out.  We don't have a good team on the schedule this week, we have one every week!  We do love playing night games in our stadium and we'll do that again on Wednesday night.   We've started adding game clips on YouTube linked on the right column of this page and here:

A Great Game

AJ Malanik hit in a 40-yard free kick and Brooke Shehade opened her scoring account with a golden goal in overtime to secure our first win of 2016.  It was a great comeback win away from home that gives us some needed momentum heading into the weekend.  We'll be traveling to NJ this weekend for 2 games at Rutgers-Newark, both games kickoff at 1pm.

The 2016 Season is Underway!

We played a tough and physical Bridgewater team to open our season on Thursday night.  It was a beautiful night for soccer but we learned a valuable lesson.  You can win or lose a soccer game in any 1 of the 90 minutes.   We did not have the best start and allowed a PK in the 75th second of the game.  Although we played an even game the rest of the match and created a few good chances, that was the only goal of the night.  We travel to D.C. for a game against a tough team at CUA on Sunday at 2pm.

FSUWS Team Room is Ready!

New Locker Rooms are complete!  This addition to our facilities for female athletes is well-deserved. The PE Center will be rockin' this Fall!

Great Season Start!

We traveled to D2 Shepherd on Wednesday and had a great scrimmage game.  Over 90 minutes we scored 2 goals and did not allow a corner or quality chance to earn the shutout.  All our players played and did well against an athletic and physical opponent.  We'll close our preseason on Saturday with an intersquad game and begin classes on Monday.   Our opening regular-season game is at home on Thursday, Sept 1st at 7pm vs Bridgewater.

Picture Day!

Our roster is now posted and the 2016 team took some time today for photos.   As usual, it was a beautiful day for soccer on the Frostburg campus!  We start playing opponents this week as we travel to Shepherd for a 5pm scrimmage on Wednesday, 8/24.

Preseason 2016 Starts!

Finally, our preseason is underway!  For a coach, it's like Christmas Day!  We love playing under the lights on cool evenings here at FSU and tonight's scrimmage to end Day #1 of the 2016 season was terrific.

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!
