West Virginia is returning 15 letterwinners, including midfielder Ray Gaddis, who is on the watch list for the Hermann Trophy and goalkeeper Zach Johnson, a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. Coach Marlon LeBlanc enters his fifth season with the Mountaineers.
Robert Morris will be playing their first exhibition of the season. The Colonials are looking to improve and build upon the 3-13-3 record they posted last season. Bill Denniston heads into his 10th season at the helm of the men's soccer program and holds a record of 62-83-27 overall while in charge of the Colonials.
