WVU Cross Country sweeps weekend meets; other athletics updates
October 12, 2026
Throughout October, the WVU Athletics composite schedule is packed with action across plenty of sports. This past weekend, Olympic sports including WVU Tennis, Cross Country, and Volleyball competed. Overall, tennis picked up some wins, cross country was the top finisher in its meets, and volleyball faced a top opponent in the nation....
No. 16 WVU Women’s Soccer made Senior Day a good one, picking up a 2-1 win over Utah Sunday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Abbey Olexa got the Mountaineers on the board in the first half before Maya Leoni added another goal after the break. Utah made things interesting with a goal in the 64th minute, but WVU held on for its fourth straight win.
It feels like a lifetime ago, but many WVU fans were asking; 'who can beat this team?' Three weeks later, fans are likely wondering; 'who can this team beat?' If the Mountaineers' defense doesn't get at least a smidge better, I believe the answer to the latter question is... no one.
