WVU’s late goal against Baylor keeps undefeated season alive
September 18, 2026
The Mountaineers (5-0-2) nearly lost their first conference game of the season, but came through dramatically. After Baylor took a 1-0 lead in the late stages of the game, WVU answered with the equalizer in the final minute of the game. They travel to Boulder, Colorado, for the next game against Colorado on Thursday, September 24, at 9 p.m....
WVU Football (2-0) heads to Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, for Duke’s Mayo Classic Saturday. The Mountaineers are off to their best start since 2018. WVU is aiming to keep its perfect streak alive and sweep its non-conference slate for the first time since 2016. So far, WVU has defeated Coastal Carolina and UT Martin this season. It defeated Missouri, Youngstown State, and BYU (independent at the time) in 2016. While the Mountaineer faithful are hoping for the first 3-0 start since 2018, WVU faces its biggest challenge yet by way of No. 25 Virginia (2-0) in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What a wild few years it has been for WVU's Vice President and Director of Athletics, Wren Baker. Now approaching four years on the job, Baker is finally seeing something that hasn't always been easy to find around WVU Athletics — stability.
