MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Last week, members of the West Virginia University women’s soccer team, led by coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, joined WVU President Gordon Gee and additional WVU staff members in Welch, West Virginia, for a community-declared “West Virginia Day,” and a free youth soccer clinic.
Invited by the McDowell County 4-H Soccer League and WVU Extension Agent Donald Reed, the Mountaineers brought soccer to Welch on June 8, teaching young athletes the fundamentals of the game, while also promoting hard work and a healthy lifestyle.
Rising junior forward Hannah Abraham was one of the Mountaineer student-athletes to make the trek south.
