UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The No. 11 West Virginia women’s soccer team could not overcome a three-goal halftime deficit as it fell to No. 3 Stanford, 3-1, on Sunday at Jeffrey Field.
“I said before the game that Stanford will capitalize on your mistakes,” WVU coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said after the game. “You have to give them all the credit, they capitalized when we made mistakes and, unfortunately, we ran out of time at the end.”
Stanford jumped on the board early as the Cardinal took advantage of a WVU turnover deep inside of its own zone and Carly Malatskey placed a shot into the right side of the net to give the Cardinal a 1-0 lead.
