MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Freshmen Addison Clark and Issy Sibleynd Issy Sibley scored their first career goals and No. 17 West Virginia finally claimed its first win of the season, 3-0 over Xavier in women’s soccer Thursday night.
Sophomore Lois Joel also broke through for a milestone goal in the final 8 minutes as the Mountaineers (1-1-3) more than doubled their season scoring output in front of 1,402 fans. The defense showed its muscle, too, denying the Musketeers (1-4) a shot on-goal.
“We’ve been grinding, and it’s just so nice to see the hard work pay off,” Mountaineers coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said.
