MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Lately, one word is tossed around more than others at Dreamswork Field.
Special.
Though she is quick to point out that she has never favored one squad more than another throughout her 20-year coaching span at West Virginia University, coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is not afraid to qualify the 2015 Mountaineers as a “special” team. In fact, she believes that because of the immense success her women’s soccer program has achieved in just 20 short years, this year’s squad has an even greater right to the “special” tag.
“This team competes not only against last year’s team, in terms of achievements and wins, but also against all the teams before it,” explained Izzo-Brown.
