"We’re looking forward to our program getting another opportunity to be on national television,” men’s coach Marlon LeBlanc says. “We’ve been fortunate enough to be on television the past five years, and this year we’re looking forward to showcasing our program and the University to the country."
“This is an exciting opportunity for us to showcase Mountaineer soccer throughout the country,” women’s coach Nikki Izzo-Brown says. “I know many fans, friends and families will be very excited to watch and cheer on the team.”
