MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Amandine Pierre-Louis scored in the 56th minute and No. 6 West Virginia used stifling defense to beat No. 8 Clemson 1-0 on Friday night before the fourth-largest home crowd in program history.
“Wins like tonight’s are huge for confidence,” said Mountaineers coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “We beat a great team in Clemson.
“It was huge. The crowd was huge. They responded, and it was incredible.”
A crowd of 2,019 turned out for the home opener at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, where West Virginia (2-0-1) extended its unbeaten streak to 26.
Locked in a scoreless match 10 minutes into the second half, Pierre-Louis made the play of the night.
