MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU Director of Athletics Shane Lyons announced the 2021 women’s soccer spring schedule Wednesday.
The Mountaineers, who finished 7-2 during their conference-only fall slate, return to action with five total contests, including four regular-season matches and three fixtures in Morgantown, leading up to this spring’s NCAA tournament. Last fall, the NCAA approved moving fall championships to spring 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
West Virginia unofficially opens the spring campaign on Sunday, Feb. 28, when the Mountaineers play host to Akron in exhibition play. From there, the squad travels to Saint Joseph’s for its spring regular-season opener on Sunday, March 7.
WVU returns home to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium for a pair of regular-season matches against ACC foes. On Saturday, March 27, West Virginia takes on Duke, before battling Virginia at home on Saturday, April 3. The spring schedule concludes a week later when the Mountaineers make the return trip to take on the Cavaliers on Saturday, April 10, in Charlottesville, Va.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 health and safety protocols and the current uncertainty on percentage of capacity for home games this spring, information on stadium capacity and ticket availability will be released at a later date.
