NEWARK, N.J. – The Frostburg State women's soccer team suffered a narrow 1-0 loss at Rutgers-Newark despite leading in just about every statistical category, Saturday.

The Bobcats attacked Erichsen and Scarlet Raider defense from the very start, saving a shot from junior Brooke Shehade just 43 second into action. FSU junior Gwen Schemm had a shot stopped by Erichsen less than four minutes later.
