MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women’s soccer team opened its 2015 preseason camp today at Dreamswork Field, and for many of the student-athletes and coaches, the morning training session served as a friendly, albeit grueling, welcome mixer.
In addition to the 16 returning student-athletes from a 2014 team that won its third straight Big 12 Conference regular-season title and second consecutive Big 12 Championship crown, 12 newcomers also took the field for their first official Mountaineer fall practice.
That’s quite a few names for coach Nikki Izzo-Brown to learn, but she welcomes the addition of the three transfers and nine freshmen.
