MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It was more of a nail-biter than most years, but the West Virginia women’s soccer team kept its postseason streak alive with a 20th consecutive invitation to the NCAA tournament.
The tournament field was unveiled Monday afternoon. The Mountaineers (10-7-2) open the tourney at Georgetown (13-4-3) on Saturday. WVU earned an at-large berth in this year’s field.
West Virginia is 21-19-2 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and has won four straight opening-round matches.
“The NCAA selection committee always has a tough job to do,” coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “I’m certainly glad that the committee saw the value in our RPI to give us an at-large bid.
