Season Summary

2004 was another record setting year for the FSU women's soccer program.   In the first week of play, FSU broke into the top 10 in the NSCAA Great Lakes Regional rankings at # 9.  The team had not been ranked since the third week of the 2001 season. 
FSU recovered from a upset loss to Greensburg in early October and for the fourth year in a row, claimed the AMCC Championship title and received the AMCC's first automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.  They would face regional foe, Westminster, for the second straight season and again Frostburg pulled out a thrilling victory - this time in the penalty shootout, winning 5-3. The Bobcats ended the 2004 season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament as nationally ranked Christopher Newport found victory in a 2-1 win at CNU.  Despite losing the match, Frostburg had done something that no other team had done in the program’s 11-year history, it had scored a goal in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The team posted the best winning percentage in the program’s history finishing with a 14-3-3 record allowing just 14 goals, only 2 of which were in conference play.
