The West Virginia University women’s soccer team continues to build momentum, delivering a dominant 3–0 win over the Army Black Knights. The victory not only extends the Mountaineers’ winning streak to three games but also highlights the squad’s balance of veteran leadership and emerging young talent.

From the opening whistle, WVU controlled the tempo of the match. The Mountaineers’ midfield pressed high, creating opportunities and forcing Army into defensive mistakes. The breakthrough came when senior forward Maddie Levy found the back of the net, setting the tone with the opening goal. Her composure in front of goal and ability to capitalize on early pressure gave the Mountaineers a confidence boost that carried through the rest of the game.

The second goal of the night came courtesy of Taylor White, who etched her name further into WVU’s history books by scoring her 20th career goal. White’s finish was a reminder of her consistency and reliability, a hallmark of her time with the Mountaineers. Her milestone underscores the importance of experience on this roster, providing stability as younger players adapt to the demands of college-level competition.

The third and final goal belonged to freshman Kailyn Effah, who made her mark by scoring her first collegiate goal. The strike was more than just a number on the scoreboard—it symbolized the depth and promising future of this Mountaineer team. For Effah, the moment was one of celebration and a glimpse of the contributions she can make in the years ahead.

Defensively, WVU was equally impressive. The backline stayed organized, limiting Army’s attacking opportunities and allowing goalkeeper Kayza Massey to record another clean sheet. Discipline and communication ensured that Army never gained a foothold in the match, while WVU’s relentless pressing prevented any late-game momentum shifts.

Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown praised the performance, noting how pleased she was with the blend of experience and youth stepping up in critical moments. “We’re seeing leadership from our veterans and energy from our freshmen—it’s the perfect balance,” Izzo-Brown said.

With this victory, the Mountaineers strengthen their record and continue to climb in confidence as they prepare for tougher opponents ahead. The mix of milestone moments and fresh beginnings makes this win particularly significant, and fans can feel the excitement growing as the season unfolds.
