MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Just days before the No. 11/15 West Virginia University women’s soccer 2015 home season opener at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, WVU officials have announced several exciting promotions for Mountaineer fans.
“There are so many excellent matches scheduled for Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this season, and I’m excited to play with that great home-field advantage we’ve grown accustomed to,” said Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “Fans not only have the chance to cheer for this 2015 team, but they also have an opportunity to celebrate the program’s 20th season with us all year long. There’s no question that we have the best fan base in the nation, and I hope these promotions add to their experience throughout the year.”
In celebration of the program’s 20th season, a special giveaway will be awarded to 20 fans at each home contest this year.
