MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following a program-record four-goal performance in the No. 5/12 Mountaineers’ 8-0 win against Villanova on Sept. 6, sophomore forward Michaela Abam has been named the WVU Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by University Apartments.
Abam is the first Mountaineer in the program’s 20-year history to score four goals in a single game. The Houston native finished with eight points against the Wildcats, also a program record. She now shows a team-best five goals and ranks second on the team with 10 points.
The Mountaineers’ eight-goal performance matched the program’s single-game record, first hit in 2006 and again in 2008.
