PROGRAM SUMMARY -
The sport of women's soccer at Frostburg State University was elevated
to varsity status in 1994 after FSU students had played soccer and
represented the school as a club sport for approximately 10
years. Ray Kiddy, a well-known regional soccer coach and an FSU
men's assistant, was chosen to lead the program that year with more
than 10 of the former club players participating. Playing
state and regional opponents, the women's soccer team had instant
success and fielded winning teams in those early years. In 1997,
the AMCC was born with FSU as a charter member, and a more consistent
schedule and the development of several rivalries followed. It
was Penn State-Behrend that turned out to be a periennal AMCC contender
and FSU's primary adversary in conference play. Behrend won the
first 4 AMCC titles in women's soccer, often defeating FSU in the
championship match, before Frostburg attained the honor in 2001 and
then won 5 conference championships consecutively - defeating
Behrend on 4 of those occasions. Behrend regained the title in
2006 after defeating FSU 2-1. FSU had lost only 2 conference
games in four seasons from 2003 to 2006 and went undefeated in
regular-season conference play allowing only one goal in both 2005 and
2006. As a result of their
success in the AMCC and in a tough non-conference schedule, FSU has enjoyed 7 consecutive post-season
tournament
appearances, 5 in the NCAA Tournament and 2 in the ECAC Regional
Tournament. FSU won 1st round games in the NCAA Championship Tournament in both 2003
and 2004.
The active players have consistenty maintained approximately a 3.25
team GPA and
have won the NSCAA Team Academic Award several times in recent
years. FSU women's soccer graduates are now successful
teachers, professionals, wives and mothers, and many are still players
- all across Maryland and the region.
