1st-half flurry carries Mountaineers into NCAA round of 16

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — No. 4-ranked West Virginia became the highest-scoring and winningest team in school history by crushing Northwestern 4-0 on Friday night. And there’s a chance for more heading into the third round of the NCAA women’s soccer tournament.

Amanda Hill put the Mountaineers ahead in the 15th minute, Kadiesha Buchanan assisted on two subsequent goals and WVU dominated play with a 22-3 edge in shots.

The Mountaineers (18-2-1, 6-0-1) will play again Sunday at 1 p.m. against Loyola Marymount, who defeated Minnesota 1-0.

West Virginia’s 15 shutouts and 56 goals are both single-season records and the 18 victories match the benchmark achieved by the 2002, 2007 and 2010 squads.
