Women’s Soccer To Face No. 12 West Virginia Thursday In Exhibition
8/11/2021 1:07:00 PM | Women's Soccer
RALEIGH – NC State women's soccer will get a chance at one last tune up before its season opener next week, as it will meet with No. 12 West Virginia Thursday at Thompson Field on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., for an exhibition.
Kickoff is set for 2 p.m., and admission is free. There will be no live stream or stats for the match.
SERIES HISTORY
NC State and West Virginia have never met each other in the preseason or regular season.
LAST TIME OUT
The Wolfpack hosted Coastal Carolina on Saturday and earned a 3-1 victory behind a total team effort, as 22 of its 26 players managed to see playing time on the field.
All three of its goals were scored in the first half, as Jenna Butler headed in an early goal while Annika Wohner scored a pair of goals within a two-minute span halfway through the period.
2021 FALL ROSTER
This year's roster is comprised of 26 players. Just 14 of them have at least one semester of collegiate experience, as head coach Tim Santoro and his staff brought in a strong freshman class this fall. Three of those players were early enrollees in the spring and unable to play in NCAA competition, while the nine others just recently arrived in Raleigh for their first semester.
2021 FALL SLATE
The Wolfpack has an exciting and challenging schedule ahead of it, as eight teams on its slate were featured in the United Soccer Coaches 2021 Preseason Poll. All eight programs are ranked inside the top 17.
2021 SPRING RECAP
After missing the 2020 season due to an indirect impact of COVID-19, the Wolfpack went 5-3-1 in its 2021 spring slate.
The squad started its schedule with a 4-0-1 ledger, then suffered three consecutive losses to nationally ranked ACC and SEC programs, which were all by a one-goal margin, but closed out its schedule on a high note with a 3-1 comeback win over conference foe Boston College.
UP NEXT
NC State will open its season August 19 at No. 11 Georgetown. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. at Shaw Field in Washington, D.C.
HOME OPENER
After starting its season on the road for three consecutive matches, the Pack will open its home slate August 29 when it welcomes No. 17 South Carolina to Dail Soccer Stadium at 1 p.m. NC State is scheduled to play seven total matches in Raleigh this year.
Kickoff is set for 2 p.m., and admission is free. There will be no live stream or stats for the match.
