St. Mary’s City, Md. – Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions for parents as they dropped Women's Soccer Players off their sons and daughters for the first time on the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland.  However, members of the Seahawk fall varsity sport teams were on hand to ease some of the burden by helping at New Student Move-In Thursday.
