Walking around campus, I tried to get a feel of what other students thought about the school spirit here at Frostburg State. I talked to a few people, and askem them two simple questions:
1. Have you attended a Frostburg athletic event this semester?
2. What do you think of the school spirit at Frostburg State?
Erin Hickey, a junior from Baltimore who is majoring in sociology and pyschology has yet to attend an athletic even this semester, and believes that school spirit "is ok, but needs to be improved."
Amy Williams, a junior that transferred in from Arizona State University and is majoring in political science has an interesting perspective on school spirit. " Coming from Arizona State I knew that the school spirit would be nothing like a big division 1 school, but for a smaller school I believe Frostburg has a good amount of school spirit."
Victoria McHugh, a freshman from Bel Air, has not yet attended a Frostburg Atghletic event either. She however believes that the school spirit "is good."
Even though I was not able to find someone that had attended a sporting event, it was still interesting to hear different perspectives from students who may not be the biggest sports fans, but still like to represent the University with pride.

Men's soccer
The crisp air, the sun setting, and the lights on at Bobcat stadium, it was a perfect night for soccer. The men’s soccer team had a home game as they took on Waynesburg University on Wednesday, September 14. The bleachers were scattered with close to 200 fans, which included parents, students, and other Frostburg athletes.
The crowd was filled with anticipation as the first 30 minutes of the game were a back and forth battle, with each team trying to establish their game plan. The stadium soon erupted! Ryan Russell made a great play to put the ball in the back of the net to give the Bobcats a 1-0 advantage. The excitement filled the stadium as the crowd was on their feet and exchanging high-5’s. The Bobcats would hold on to their lead entering halftime as the continued to play well.
Halftime marked the point for some of the fans to leave. It was a Wednesday night, and getting late, so some students needed to get home and finish their homework. However at the same time, there were also fans that arrived right after halftime, evening out the number who left. The second half was another good half for the Bobcats. They played solid defense and limited the chances that Waynesburg had to score. The game ended in a 1-0 win for the Bobcats.
This win helped the Bobcats remain undefeated and improved their record to 3-0-1. The students and fans seemed very pleased about the team’s performance and cheered for them as the game ended. The Bobcats put on quite a show, and more importantly accomplished their main goal; to win!
