Mountaineers bound for Virginia seeking spot in NCAA Elite Eight

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If the favored teams advance in NCAA second round games in Charlottesville, Virginia, West Virginia will have a second opportunity to avenge a regular season defeat.

The Mountaineers (11-7-2) will face Central Connecticut State at UVA’s Klockner Stadium Friday at 4pm. The host Cavaliers will face Washington State immediately following. The winners will meet in an NCAA Sweet 16 matchup Sunday at 5pm.

West Virginia has already knocked off one of the teams to defeat them in the regular season. The Mountaineers blanked No. 25 Georgetown 2-0 in Washington, D.C. last Saturday in the opening round.
