MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (September 4, 2016) – Pressed to find a second goal with only 20 minutes remaining in regulation, the No. 4-ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team’s attack answered the challenge, as Hannah Abraham’s header in the 77th minute pushed the Mountaineers to a 2-1 victory over No. 19 Ohio State tonight in front of 1,763 fans at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
The win came before the fifth-largest crowd at DDSS in WVU women’s soccer history and pushed the Mountaineers’ (5-0-1) home unbeaten streak to 29. WVU handed OSU (5-1) its first defeat of the 2016 season, and the team is now 2-0-1 against ranked opponents and 2-0-1 against teams from the Big Ten Conference.
