Necessarily great Secondary we’re sitting at 8-2 right now. In my eyes it’s just that simple.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Nov. 17, 2024) – The No. 10 West Virginia University men’s soccer team claimed the Sun Belt Championship title on Sunday, defeating No. 8 Marshall in penalty kicks. After playing to a 0-0 draw, the Mountaineers converted all six of their penalties while redshirt-senior goalkeeper made the final save to clinch the second trophy for WVU this season.



It is the first Sun Belt Championship title for the Mountaineers after winning their first regular-season title as well this year. It is also the first time that WVU has won both the regular season and tournament title in the same season as part of any conference in program history.



In the penalty shootout, graduate student Sergio Ors Navarro, senior Carlos Hernando, junior Marcus Caldeira, senior Dante Huckaby, and senior Frederik Jorgensen each made their attempts to keep pace with Marshall, who made their first five as well. In the sixth round, graduate student Dyon Dromers stepped up and buried his PK before Bonnaire made a diving save to his left for the win.



The Mountaineers controlled most of the game, outshooting Marshall, 16-8, with a 6-1 advantage in shots on goal. West Virginia also took 12 corners compared to just three for the Thundering Herd.



In the first half, it looked like WVU took the lead as Caldeira’s header ended up in the back of the net, but he was called offside. The Mountaineers had a few more shots on goal in the half, but the game remained scoreless into the break.



The Mountaineers had the only shot on goal in the second half, but it was saved as WVU entered extra time for the first time since 2021.



In extra time, West Virginia had multiple chances, first in the 97th minute as Ors Navarro’s shot went off the post. In the 106th minute, shots by graduate student Max Broughton and freshman Tristan Pusztahegyi were blocked by the Marshall back line.



West Virgina clinches an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament with the result. The NCAA Men’s Soccer Selection Show is Monday, Nov. 18, at 1 p.m. and is available to watch on NCAA.com.

Neal is set to dominate UCF next week, which will quiet the rising calls for his dismissal and restore a sense of stability, even if for a period of days.

The outcome of the Texas Tech game, as is often the case, will be the typical coin-flip.

This recurring cycle has been the catalyst for the apathy among the fanbase. You can never get too excited about winning, losses are embarrassing, and he then pulls a horseshoe out of his ass every single time the heat is on.

The weather looked beautiful. Why is everybody all mad? 😂

Seriously screw Kneel Brown.

Where can I find those hats that the coaches wore this weekend?

Blitz the QB. Baylor’s QB could have pick his nose. Roll the booger up in a ball and then look at it and then eat it and still have time to complete a pass. Koontz’s defense is just as bad as Lesley’s defense. Blitz the damn QB sometimes.

Is this the name that some has mentioned as possible head coach replacement. His record is not that good. Vernon is this the name being mentioned as the replacement if Brown gets fired.

Sorry if I missed it in another thread. Hope it's just a dislocation

WVU does not have the resources to compete in today's P4 College landscape in Football or Basketball. We will never experience the days of the Big East again.

They made Zach Frazier mad.

Who had that matchup on their bingo card?

You have always been insightful but feel like you have been told to zip it...

Football Big 12 title game for an invite to the playoffs AND a 20 win basketball regular season.

These are some good times. Soak it all in.

If I'm HCNB and being asked about defensive woes I come back with how woke E.G.G. forced MY GUY OUT. I'd say if you hadn't tampered in my business we wouldn't be here having this talk....just saying

Temple has fired Stan Drayton. He was 9-25 in three seasons.
