men’s and women’s soccer teams
excel under the direction of head
coach Dan Perritano.

won a school record, 13 wins in a
year that saw them earn an NCAA
Division HI, North East Regional

season was also highlighted with a
2-1 win over the Gators of
Allegheny College. The Lions
advanced to the AMCC
Championship game after a 2-1 win
over Pitt-Bradford. Frostburg then
defeated the Lions in the finale, 4-
0.
THE WOMEN REPEATED AS
AMCC Champions for the second
straight season. The Behrend
