Capture the Moment

Members of SUNY Cortland’s 1980 women’s soccer national title team returned to campus on Sept. 13 and 14 and showed off their new championship rings. Because of budget restraints in 1980 — the team drove for two days straight in a pair of red vans to play in the national finals in Colorado — the team did not receive rings at the time. Team members also unveiled a gift, a new scoreboard on Holloway Field that pays tribute to their accomplishments. Learn more at RedDragonNetwork.org.
