The No. 5/8 West Virginia University women’s soccer team lays out its clearly-defined list of goals each preseason. Certain goals carry over from season to season - go undefeated at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, win two conference titles and qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
Additional goals are centered on the team’s potential. Three weeks into the season, and the 2015 Mountaineers appear to be a balanced group. Sitting at its second-best ranking in the program’s 20-year history, WVU (5-1) has tallied 18 goals in five wins, averaging 8.83 points and 3.00 goals per game, the NCAA’s ninth- and 12th-best averages.
