MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University men’s soccer team jumped two spots up to No. 19 in the weekly Soccer America poll and remained at No. 20 in this week’s National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas poll.
The Mountaineers went 1-1 last weekend as the team defeated then-No. 1 Connecticut in front of a home crowd of 1,773. Sophomore Jason Bristol scored his first game-winning goal in his first collegiate start against the Huskies. Freshman goalkeeper Zach Johnson earned his eighth shutout against UConn. WVU fell to Navy 1-0 on Oct. 16, on a goal scored by the Midshipmen with just five minutes left in the match.
For his efforts, Bristol was named to the Soccer America Men’s Team of the Week, announced today. The honor is his second of the week as he was named BIG EAST Defender of the Week yesterday.
WVU will travel to Marquette on Wednesday, Oct. 24, for a mid-week BIG EAST match up at 8 p.m.. The Mountaineers will then travel to Seton Hall to face the Pirates on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 3 p.m.
