ELON, N.C. - The West Virginia University men’s soccer team kicked off 2004 with a 2-1 scrimmage victory over Elon University, Saturday, March 6 in Elon, N.C.
The Phoenix took an early lead, but freshman Matt Ansty hooked up with 2003 leading goal scorer Jarrod Smith to tie the match in the 37th minute.
The match appeared to be heading to 1-1 tie with less than five minutes to play in regulation. Newcomer Ben Stevens ended all such thoughts in the 78th minute when he booted home a goal off of a Greg Mansell assist, giving the Mountaineers the win.
WVU returns home to the Mountaineer Soccer Complex for a scrimmage against the Pro Select League's Pittsburgh Riverhounds on March 24, at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
