No. 25 West Virginia shuts out UCF, earns 3-0 victory
October 21, 2026
No. 25 WVU Men's Soccer (8-2-4) kept up its strong run Wednesday, shutting out UCF behind two first-half goals from Pablo Pozos and a second-half strike from Civan de Jesus Ferreira. The Mountaineers took a 2-0 lead into halftime before adding another goal early in the second half to put the match away....
West Virginia's offense has shown it can make big plays, but the Mountaineers are still searching for consistency on the other side of the ball. Following WVU's game against Cincinnati, head coach Rich Rodriguez and defensive coordinator Zac Alley addressed the defensive struggles during Tuesday's press conferences. Both coaches acknowledged the unit needs to improve, with Alley describing the defense as "boom or bust."
Former WVU Men's Basketball Head Coach Bob Huggins is living with a progressive cognitive condition that has begun affecting his memory and daily life, his family announced Wednesday. The announcement came in a statement released Wednesday alongside the University of Cincinnati Athletics Department. Huggins is scheduled to be inducted into Cincinnati's James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame this weekend.
