Hello, Mountaineer Nation!
 
If you are not already aware, it is a BIG weekend in Morgantown!
 
Your No. 1-ranked and top-seeded West Virginia University women’s soccer team plays host to the 2016 NCAA Tournament Second and Third Rounds at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium today and Sunday.
 
We open play tonight against Ohio State at 6 p.m. We know we are in for a battle. The Mountaineers and the Buckeyes are familiar foes, and we play each other tough every time we meet.

For these reasons, we need a BIG crowd behind us! A win tonight would push us into the NCAA Tournament Third Round for the second straight season and the fifth time in program history.
 
The NCAA Tournament is a long journey that culminates what has already been a highly successful season for your Mountaineers. We’ve been nationally ranked No. 1 in all three major polls for the last six straight weeks. We’ve posted a program-record 20 wins. We’ve swept the Big 12 Conference titles for the third time in five seasons. We’ve held opponents to just eight goals in 22 matches and posted a program-record 15 shutouts. We’ve scored goals in ways fans only thought possible on video games. We’ve accomplished so much, but the ultimate goal still remains – to punch our tickets to San Jose for the 2016 College Cup.
 
Help us get there, fans! Come out tonight and be the difference! You’ve done a great job all season, helping us set six top-10 attendance marks. In fact, more than 18,000 fans have seen a game LIVE at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this year, and we rank No. 5 nationally in accumulate attendance (18,241) and No. 7 in average attendance (1,658). You’re why “Morgantown Magic” surrounds this program. You can get your tickets before the game at WVUGAME.com or at the stadium ticket booth.
 
Most importantly – come out and support this great group of soccer players who proudly wear the Flying WV each week. This is a special group, and they play each week with pride and enthusiasm for our University.
 
As I always say…come early, stay late and cheer loudly for your No. 1-ranked Mountaineers! Kick vs. Ohio State is at 6 p.m.
 
See you tonight! And – Let’s Go Mountaineers!
