MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women’s soccer team opens preseason camp Wednesday morning, Aug. 6, at the WVU soccer practice field.
“I’m looking forward to a great preseason camp,” says Head Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “We are coming off a very productive spring season and I hope to carry that momentum into these workouts.”
The Mountaineers begin camp with on-field training twice a day, strength and conditioning workouts and film sessions. West Virginia will continue its preparation leading up to the regular season home opener against Towson on Friday, Aug. 22.
WVU will take part in one exhibition game, schedule for Saturday, Aug. 16, at Maryland.
The Mountaineers return seven starters this season as they looked to defend their BIG EAST regular season and tournament titles. Izzo-Brown begins her 13th season in charge of the Mountaineers and has led her teams to eight straight NCAA tournament appearances.
