Conference Play Begins

Sophomore Jason King

Capital Athletic Conference play began last Wednesday against Marymount. We started off the game a little flat and gave up another goal on a set piece midway through the first half. We responded well in the beginning of second half when Shawn Baker tallied his second goal of the season to tie the game and we began to find our comfort zone. Unfortunately a red card was issued to Raul Diaz in the 70th minute and we were forced to change tactics. The boys worked extremely hard and made up for the dismissed player as we played 40 minutes with 10 men and hung on for the double overtime draw.

Saturday saw the team travel to Washington and Jefferson. W&J controlled play for the beginning portion of the half, but after a formation change we settled in and created a few scoring chances of our own. The second half was more of the same until a miss-kick on a clearance was deflected and bounced around the box when a W&J player jumped on it and put it away from about 10 yds. out. This would make the third 1-0 loss of the season.

Tuesday night we were back at home under the lights against CAC opponent Hood College. We started strong and created numerous opportunities. Jason King, who made his season debut against Marymount and has been limited in minutes due to injuries, scored his first goal of the season to give us the early 1-0 lead. Hood would equalize off a knock down on a free kick and the game would go to half all even. After a good half time talk the boys came out poised to put the game away. Dillon Muise notched is team leading third goal of the season and Greg Hill and Micah Bunting would record their first collegiate goals as Frostburg would go on to win 4-1.

Sophomore Shawn Baker

The win puts us at 1-0-1 in CAC play with the much anticipated Salisbury match coming up at home on Saturday at 2pm.
