With preseason nearly complete and two exhibition wins to its name, the No. 1-ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team can now turn its attention to its season opener, a 4 p.m. match at No. 5 Georgetown on Friday, Aug. 18, at Shaw Field, in Washington, D.C.
A matchup against two 2016 NCAA College Cup teams awaits eager Mountaineer fans who are ready to support WVU again following its most successful season in 21 years. Led by coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, the Mountaineers finished as the National Runner-Up last year. WVU also tallied a nation- and program-best 23 wins and 18 shutouts and swept the Big 12 Conference titles for the third time in four years.
