(Citynet Statewide Sportsline interview with Nikki Izzo-Brown)
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — 25 years into her tenure as the only head coach in the history of the WVU women’s soccer program, Nikki Izzo-Brown is preparing for a season that will not end in the NCAA Tournament in the fall. The Mountaineers have reached the NCAA’s in every season since 2000.
The NCAA announced on Thursday that all fall sport championships (excluding FBS football) will not take place in the fall and may be taken off the 2020-2021 calendar entirely due to the pandemic.
Traditionally, Division I soccer teams play an 18-match regular season schedule in the fall prior to conference and NCAA tournaments.
