The two teams played an evenly matched contest through the first 45 minutes, with WVU registering the lone shot on-goal in the first half, but the Mountaineers lost momentum in the second half and the host team took advantage, scoring on all three of its shots.
“I think today was a good environment to be challenged by the top level of play in Spain,” Mountaineer associate head coach Lisa Stoia said. “We saw a quality opponent, and they did a good job of capitalizing on our mistakes. Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish our chances today. We did a good job of possessing, and we were able to generate a few opportunities, but at the end of the day, you have to finish your chances and we could not.
