The No. 1-ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team ended the 2016 season knowing it needed to be one step better. Losing to No. 7 USC, 3-1, in the NCAA College Cup Final, the Mountaineers were so close to hoisting the NCAA Championship trophy for the first time in program history.
The first step to a better ending starts this Friday, as WVU officially opens its 2017 season on Aug. 18 at No. 5 Georgetown, with kick from Shaw Field in Washington, D.C., set for 4 p.m.
Still Hungry
Following a 2016 season, which saw the Mountaineers advance to the NCAA College Cup for the first time in program history, WVU returns to competition still hungry to achieve the squad’s ultimate goal – win a national championship.
