Provided through a grant from the State of Maryland, this field is designed to provide enhanced support, improved drainage and increased turf density.
Due to an unanticipated shortage of participants, FCC's 2010 Women's Soccer season has been cancelled. This difficult decision was made after careful consideration and only after it became apparent that the lack of sufficient player numbers precluded the fielding of a team.
