FROSTBURG, Md.- The Frostburg State Field Hockey team dropped a mid-day homecoming contest to Mansfield 2-0. The game was the first of five homecoming contests in Frostburg.
 
The game started slowly for both sides, as there were no goals scored in the first half with each team only getting off two shots.
 
The action picked up one minute into the third quarter as Mansfield fired off two shots that were blocked, but ended up resulting in a penalty corner. With the corner, Kelsey Robertson found Kenedy Stroup and she guided a shot by junior Bobcat goalie Madison Manalansan for a 1-0 lead.
 
With a little less than eight minutes left in the game, the Mountaineers added an insurance goal as Alex Esterling found the back of the goal to go up 2-0. The Bobcats threatened at the end of the game as freshman Olivia Wenzel found space for a shot, but was denied by Mountaineer keeper August Lewis.
 
The loss takes Frostburg to 1-12 on the year as Mansfield improves to 8-6. The Bobcats are back in action Wednesday, October 20 at Bobcat Stadium as they will take on Indiana University of Pennsylvania. For information and updates stay tuned at frostburgsports.com.
