Duquesne, West Virginia women's soccer teams paired up in NCAA's first round

The Duquesne women's soccer team, appearing in the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history, will travel to Morgantown, W.Va., to face No. 6 West Virginia in the tournament's first round on Friday at 6 p.m., the NCAA announced Monday.

The Dukes (12-9-1) defeated Fordham on Sunday to claim their first-ever Atlantic 10 championship, earning them an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The win finished off a late-season run in which they went 5-1-1.

The Mountaineers (16-2-1) are the No. 2 seed in the region and are coming off a 1-0 loss to Texas Tech in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament, the team's first loss in more than two months.
