50 Years of Men's Soccer Celebration
Five decades of Fredonia State men's soccer were celebrated the weekend of Oct. 18, 2008, during Alumni Weekend. Alums from all past teams were invited to return to campus for two days of activities. Here they are pictured following their introduction at halftime of the men's game.
