Mountaineers Upset No. 7 Georgetown

AKRON, Ohio – A goal by sophomore midfielder Tucker Stephenson in the 81st minute lifted the West Virginia University men’s soccer team to a 1-0 upset victory over No. 7 Georgetown on a hot, sunny Sunday afternoon in Akron, Ohio.

Playing their second top-10 foe in three days to open the season, the Mountaineers (1-1-0) played right with the Hoyas (0-2-0) before finally breaking through with less than 10 minutes remaining. Stephenson notched his first goal of the season, with junior defender Louis Thomas and freshman defender Sebastian Garcia-Herreros recording assists.

The seventh-ranked Hoyas are the highest-ranked team West Virginia has beaten since taking down No.
