MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU Men’s Soccer is set to meet rival Marshall University in the Sun Belt Conference Men’s Soccer semifinal on Wednesday.
WVU advanced to the Sun Belt Men’s Soccer semifinal on Sunday after winning its quarterfinal match against No. 7 seed Old Dominion.
Sophomore winger Isaac Scheer netted his first goal of the season, while junior forward Pablo Pozos tallied his team-leading 11th of the year for the Mountaineers. In the penalty shootout, graduate student center back Carlos Hernando, sophomore full back Oscar Emilio Trujillo Lizárraga, Pozos, freshman attacking midfielder Juan Alvarez, and Scheer all found the back of the net, as graduate student goalkeeper Marc Bonnaire made two crucial saves to secure the victory.
It was an evenly matched contest at 2-2 through 110 minutes, but WVU ultimately won on penalty kicks, 5-4.
West Virginia will now take on Marshall in the semifinal on Wednesday.
