MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (April 17, 2015) [/B]- The West Virginia University women's soccer team closes out its home spring slate against Saint Francis (Pa.) on Sunday, April 19, at 3:30 p.m., at Dick Dlesk Soccer Season.
Sunday's match is the Mountaineers' third straight in Morgantown. WVU returns to competition following a 1-0 loss to Maryland on April 12.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how this team responds after last Sunday's outing against Maryland," said Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. "This is our last match at Dick Dlesk Stadium this spring, and I encourage everyone to come out one last time and cheer us on."
Junior goalkeeper Hannah Steadman played all 90 minutes in net for WVU last Sunday. She and redshirt-freshman Michelle Newhouse have split time in goal throughout the spring.
Freshman Heather Kaleiohi is the lone Mountaineer to score a goal this spring, as she netted the game winner in WVU's 1-0 defeat of Pitt on April 3. The squad opened the season with a 4-0 loss at the Western New York Flash of the National Women's Soccer League on March 14.
