Women's Soccer Hits The Road To Face West Virginia

OPENING PITCH

Saint Francis University women's soccer hits the road and heads to Morgantown W. Va., to take on West Virginia in their first away game of the 2023 regular season. The Red Flash will look to bounce back from their 3-1 loss to Youngstown State in their season opener. Raine Korpics scored the first goal of the season for Saint Francis in the contest. The series between the two sides began on Sep. 18, 1996 with a 2-0 Mountaineer win in Loretto.  

This will be the fifth consecutive matchup between Saint Francis and West Virginia to be played in Morgantown. The only time the two sides have not played in West Virginia was their 1996 game.  

THE WORD ON WEST VIRGINIA

The Mountaineers will also enter this matchup with an 0-1 record after dropping their season opener against #4 Duke 2-0 on the road. West Virginia posted eight shots in the contest, three of those being on target. 

The reigning Big 12 champions were picked to finish fourth in the preseason Big 12 poll. The Mountaineers are coming off a season where they made the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and will be looking to replicate that success this season. 

LAST TIME WE MET
The last time Saint Francis and West Virginia played in a regular season matchup was on Aug. 28, 2022 in a game that the Mountaineers won 3-0. Sarah McConnon made seven saves for the Red Flash. 

UP NEXT
The Red Flash will head north to Niagara Falls, N.Y. for a matchup against the Niagara Purple Eagles on Thursday, Aug. 24. Kick off will be at 7:00 p.m. at Niagara Field.
