MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 23 West Virginia University men's soccer team hosts St. Bonaventure for its home opener, Monday, Aug. 24. Kickoff from Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium is set for 6 p.m.
Nick Farrell and Adam Zundell have the call of Monday's contest on ESPN+. The game also can be heard on 91.7 FM (WWVU) in Morgantown, and live stats are available at WVUsports.com.

The Mountaineers opened the 2026 season on the road at Charlotte, falling to the 49ers, 3-0. The Mountaineers are coming off 13-5-3 season and their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance. In the Sun Belt Preseason Coaches Poll, WVU was picked to win the league, the first time the Mountaineers are preseason favorites since 2022.
Senior Pablo Pozos was named the 2026 Sun Belt Preseason Offensive Player of the Year after tallying 11 goals and three assists in his first season with the Mountaineers. Junior midfielders Isaac Scheer and Nacho Martinez joined Pozos on the Preseason All-Conference Team.
Overall, the Mountaineers return 15 players from last year's squad while adding 15 newcomers. Six players join WVU out of the transfer portal while there are nine first-year college players suiting up for the Gold and Blue.
St. Bonaventure is led by second-year head coach Mick Giordano, who is 4-9-3 during his time with SBU. The Bonnies won their season opener against Niagara, 2-0, on Thursday.
In the preseason coaches poll, St. Bonaventure was picked 12th. Jack Steel and Kyle Macfarlane each scored in the win over Niagara while Winston Jory made two saves in the shutout.
