REGENTS CUP GAME

Salisbury vs. Frostburg
Regents Cup
Est. 1999
“Awarded annually to the winner of the Frostburg-Salisbury football game.”

Always one of the most anticipated games each year, longtime Maryland football rivals Salisbury and Frostburg State meet on the last Saturday of the regular season for the Regents Cup, a trophy created in 1999 by both schools' coaches and the University System of Maryland Board of Regents. The winner gets to display the Cup on campus for a year and also claims the title “Champion of the Free State,” which is engraved on the Cup. Located at opposite ends of the state, the teams turn the Baltimore area into a battleground for the Cup each November. There's some very good tailgating, and the event is almost like another homecoming game.

The teams have met every year since 1973, Salisbury's first full varsity season. The series has been characterized by streaks, as the Sea Gulls have put together six- and seven-game winning streaks, while the Bobcats have runs of four and six games. The teams have split their last six games. Salisbury leads the Regents Cup series 5-4 and the all-time series 19-16. The 2001 edition was the only overtime game in the series.
