Saturday competition in Richmond, Virginia, is WVU’s first of six spring matches and the only one away from home.
The Mountaineers’ spring roster is headlined by six incoming seniors who played a key role in 2016 as juniors. The list includes defenders Steven James and Louis Thomas and midfielder Joey Piatczyc, who were named team captains in 2017.
WVU is coming off an 8-7-1 season in 2016. The Mountaineers set a program record with seven consecutive shutouts, and coach Marlon LeBlanc won his 100th match at WVU, becoming only the second coach in team history to break the century mark.
