HISTORIC SEASON

The #11 West Virginia men’s soccer team’s historic season came to an end on Saturday afternoon, as the Mountaineers suffered a heartbreaking loss at #3 Georgetown in a penalty shootout. WVU led 1-0 at halftime, thanks to a goal from senior forward Yoran Popovic in the 16th minute of the match, but the Hoyas were able to tie things up with a penalty kick goal in the 67th minute. The game remained tied through the remainder of regulation and two overtime periods.
