MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women’s soccer team stayed in the eighth spot of the NSCAA/adidas coaches’ poll on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
The Mountaineers (14-2-3) had just one match this week against Louisville in the BIG EAST quarterfinals. The game went scoreless through regulation and overtime with WVU advancing 5-4 on penalty kicks. The Cardinals did move up three spots to No. 22 in this week’s poll, however, after the game was officially recorded as a tie with the Mountaineers.
WVU dropped one spot in the Soccer America poll to No. 9 and remained ranked 10th in Soccer Buzz’s weekly poll.
The Mountaineers have now been ranked in 61 consecutive Soccer Buzz polls, good for 10th all-time. They moved ahead of UConn and UVA who are tied for 11th all-time with school best runs of 60 consecutive polls.
West Virginia will face No. 20 Rutgers at the BIG EAST semifinals in Storrs, Conn., on Friday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPNU via tape delay at 11 p.m.
This season marks the seventh straight trip to the BIG EAST tournament for West Virginia and the Mountaineers are now 6-7-1 all-time in the BIG EAST tournament.
