MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The No. 4-ranked West Virginia women’s soccer team concludes the 2020 fall campaign by traveling to No. 3 TCU on Friday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, with the result determining the Big 12 regular-season champion.
“It’s exciting and it’s going to be an incredible soccer match,” WVU coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “It is what it is — two of the best in our conference competing. You couldn’t ask for a better matchup to end the season.”
The second-place Mountaineers trail TCU by one point in the conference standings heading into Friday’s fixture. The Horned Frogs have collected 22 points, while WVU has 21 points on the year.
WVU enters Friday’s matchup vying for its first regular-season conference crown since 2016. The Mountaineers won five straight Big 12 regular-season titles from 2012-16, and have won five consecutive matches heading into the contest.
WVU is 57-8-5 in its last 70 road matches since 2014. Additionally, the team has won 49 of its last 50 matches when scoring twice or more, including six times in 2020.
TCU is led by eighth-year coach Eric Bell, who holds a mark of 84-62-26 with the Horned Frogs. TCU is coming off a 1-0 win at Oklahoma last week, to remain unbeaten this season.
