MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – With the WVU Nike Classic presented by Jersey’s Subs slated to begin this Friday, West Virginia officials are planning several promotional days this fall for the No. 10 Mountaineer men’s soccer team.
The season opener against Binghamton on Friday, Sept. 2 at 7:30 p.m., will kickoff the 50th anniversary celebration as WVU men’s soccer alumni come back on campus for a reunion. As part of the celebration, the team will wear replica jerseys of the 1966 Mountaineer men’s soccer squad that went 13-2 and were the Southern Conference champions. There will also be a firework display after the National Anthem and the game has been designated as “Poster Night” with free schedule posters featuring Nick Claudio, Zack Claudio and Yale Tiley available for fans.
On Sunday, Sept. 4 at 5 p.m., the Mountaineer men will finish the WVU Nike Classic presented by Jersey’s Subs with a match against Old Dominion. Admission will be free courtesy of United Bank.
The first of three “Dollar Days” will occur on Friday, Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. when the Mountaineers take on Richmond.
