“She calls herself Aunt Nikki because she really is a mother-figure to us. I feel comfortable talking to her about anything and everything. She is very open and understanding. I wouldn’t trade my four years playing for her for anything in the world. I’m a better person because of Nikki Izzo-Brown.”
“During my years at West Virginia University, I came to realize what many before me have understood – WVU is the best collegiate experience in the country. They maximized my talent as a soccer player and prepared me to succeed in the real world upon graduation. I have made lifelong friendships that form the basis for most of what makes the `Mountaineer Experience’ so valuable and rewarding.”
“From the moment I stepped on campus, it felt like home. The university embraces all that is WVU, from academics to athletics. The soccer team was beginning to build a tradition of strength, integrity and pride, and I knew everything Coach Izzo-Brown reflected on her players was the type of player I wanted to be.”

“Being a student-athlete at West Virginia was one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made. Through hard work and goal setting, we surpassed expectations and always believed in one another. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and will always cherish my time wearing the Old Gold and Blue.”
“As a member of the inaugural team, I look back and treasure the challenges I faced and the amazing opportunities throughout my four years. Not only was I able to capitalize on my skills at a high level of competition, I also learned a lot about myself from the leadership of coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. Overall, my experience is one I refer back to frequently in my everyday life as I continue on as a physical educator and soccer coach.”
“WVU women’s soccer is a program built on hard work, commitment and passion. It also is a program that exemplifies the true meaning of a family, from the staff down to the fans.”

NIKKI IZZO-BROWN HEAD COACH
ENTERING HER 31ST season as the only coach in Mountaineer women’s soccer history, Nikki Izzo-Brown has built a one-time infant program into one of the nation’s elite teams. In 30 seasons, Izzo-Brown has coached 45 players who went on to play professionally, 26 different players to 61 total All-America honors, 18 different players to 31 total Academic and Scholar All-America accolades, 24 conference players of the year and 23 Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy candidates. She also coached the 2016 Hermann Trophy award winner, the 2016 espnW National Player of the Year, a pair of Olympic Gold and Bronze Medalists and FIFA Women’s World Cup participants, as well as a FIFA Women’s World Cup Best Young Player honoree. The 2016 season remains the team’s best-ever campaign, as the squad made its first NCAA College Cup appearance and finished as the NCAA National Runner-Up. WVU has appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the last 25 seasons, including a 21-year streak from 2000-20. To date, Izzo-Brown has led the Mountaineers to an impressive 416-146-80 overall record and a 181-55-36 conference mark that includes 10 regular-season titles and eight tournament championships, including most recently the 2022 Big 12 Soccer Championship title. The Mountaineers won the conference regular-season title in each of their first five years as members of the Big 12 (201216), and a title sweep in 2016 was the third time the squad earned both championships. Women’s soccer won the school’s first Big 12 championship in 2013 and was the only WVU program to win multiple Big East Tournament titles. Izzo-Brown’s teams have been a consistent force in the national rankings and reached new levels in 2016, as the program earned its first national No. 1 ranking. WVU spent eight weeks ranked No. 1 nationally and was never ranked lower than No. 7. Additionally, WVU has defeated at least one top 25 opponent in 17 of the last 20 seasons. WVUWomensSoccer
In addition to the success she has enjoyed with the Mountaineers, Izzo-Brown has several years of experience with U.S. Women’s National Teams, including serving as an assistant at the teams’ 2012 training camps with the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 squads. She also served as a scout for the 2017 U.S. U-20 squad. In 31 seasons as a head coach, Izzo-Brown has 30 winning seasons and has led WVU to 28 seasons with 10 wins or more. Additionally, she has earned 13 combined conference and regional coach of the year awards since 2000. 2025 SEASON
West Virginia put together an impressive resume in 2025, posting a 14-3-4 overall record and completing an unbeaten, 8-0-3 campaign in Big 12 Conference play to earn the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. WVU received its second straight at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament and was selected as a First Round host and earned a national seed for the first time since 2022, advancing to the Second Round in its 24th overall appearance in the national tournament. WVU’s 14 wins marked its most in a season since 2018, while its conference record marked its third Big 12 campaign and second consecutive with eight wins. The squad also secured an unbeaten Big 12 record for the fifth time since joining the conference in 2012 and first since 2016. West Virginia’s unbeaten league campaign was part of a 15-match unbeaten streak that stretched from Aug. 28Oct. 30 and included 12 wins and three ties. Five Mountaineers were selected to the 2025 All-Big 12 Teams, led by Taylor White on the First Team. Nyema Ingleton, Maddie Levy and White also were recognized on the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Team, before White went on to be named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Third Team, becoming WVU’s first All-American since 2022. At season’s end, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native joined the pro ranks and became Izzo-Brown’s 45th professional player after signing a contract with Racing Louisville FC in the NWSL.
@WVUWomensSoccer
2023-24 SEASONS
Izzo-Brown continued to guide the Mountaineers to success in 2023 and 2024, highlighted by West Virginia’s first NCAA Tournament at-large bid since 2020-21 and the program surpassing 400 all-time victories in 2024. The Mountaineers finished the 2024 campaign with a 12-5-3 overall record and an 8-2-1 mark in Big 12 play, placing third in the conference standings and earning the program’s 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance. WVU also posted a nine-match unbeaten streak from Sept. 1-Oct. 4, including a 5-0-1 start to league play, its best conference start since 2016. In 2023, the Mountaineers made history offensively, setting a program single-game record with nine goals in a 9-0 victory over St. Francis (Pa.). WVU also totaled 23 points in the match, the program’s highest total since 2015, while the defense recorded nine shutouts during the season. The two seasons also showcased the continued success of WVU players at the professional level. Seven Mountaineers signed professional contracts following the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, including Kayza Massey (Stade de Reims), Maya McCutcheon (NC Courage), Maddie Moreau (Bay FC), Julianne Vallerand (Spokane Zephyr FC), Jaydah Bedoya (Carolina Ascent FC), Dilary Heredia-Beltran (Tigres Feminil) and Annika Leslie (Halifax Tides). Academically, the Mountaineers continued to excel in the classroom, combining for 24 Fall Academic All-Big 12 selections and 10 Academic All-District honors from the College Sports Communicators across the two seasons. 2022 SEASON
After a nearly four-year stretch without a trophy, Izzo-Brown’s Mountaineers ended their drought as the 2022 Big 12 Conference Tournament champions. WVU claimed its 10th league title and 18th conference championship all-time with a 1-0, double overtime win over TCU in the Big 12 Championship final on Nov. 6, in Round Rock, Texas. West Virginia worked its way through a tough nonconference slate with just a 3-3-3 record,

leading many to question its position moving into league play. However, the Mountaineers only lost one match in conference competition, finishing with a 4-1-4 mark in the league. WVU entered the Big 12 Tournament as the No. 4 seed, defeating No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 1 Texas and No. 2 TCU in the final to earn the title and the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. WVU earned a No. 7 seed heading into the national tournament and made its 22nd appearance all time. A pair of records were broken at season’s end, as WVU’s star “super seniors” Lauren Segalla and Jordan Brewster etched their names in the top of the record books. Segalla became the new program leader in career games played, finishing her time in Gold and Blue with 104 career appearances. Brewster finished her career with 101 starts, breaking the program record in the category. West Virginia’s defense excelled once again, recording 10 shutouts, including two in the Big 12 Championship. Goalkeeper Kayza Massey posted 77 saves and was named Big 12 Co-Goalkeeper of the Year — the first WVU netminder to earn a conference player of the year award. Massey and Jordan Brewster earned All-Big 12 First Team and All-Region honors, with Brewster collecting her third straight All-America nod. Gabrielle Robinson, AJ Rodriguez, and Dilary Heredia-Beltran were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. Professionally, Brewster signed with Kristianstads DFF (Sweden) and Robinson was drafted No. 15 overall by the Kansas City Current, brining Izzo-Brown’s total number of professional players to 33. Academically, six Mountaineers earned Academic All-District honors, with Brewster named an Academic All-American and Big 12 Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year. 2020-21 SEASONS
The 2020 season was one of the most unique in program history due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but West Virginia and coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, maintained national prominence. The Mountaineers finished 10-3-1 overall and 7-2 in Big 12 play, earning the No. 5 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and extending their streak to 21 consecutive appearances. WVU reached as high as No. 4 in the national rankings and continued its strong record against top-10 teams. Defender Jordan Brewster was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and earned
50
All-America and all-region honors, while also appearing on the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List. A pair of teammates joined her on the All-Big 12 and All-Region First Teams.

Izzo-Brown guided West Virginia to unprecedented success in 2015 and 2016, highlighted by the program’s first NCAA College Cup appearance and national runner-up finish in 2016. The Mountaineers defeated North Carolina, 1-0, in the national semifinal before falling to USC in the championship match, concluding a historic 23-2-2 season that included program records for wins (23) and shutouts (18). WVU also swept the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles in 2016, earned its fifth straight conference crown and spent eight weeks ranked No. 1 nationally. The Mountaineers also went undefeated in conference play and did not allow a single Big 12 goal during the season, defeating four top 10 opponents before earning the program’s first NCAA Tournament No. 1 regional seed. West Virginia advanced to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in 2015 before reaching its first national final match in 2016, combining for a 42-5-3 record over the two seasons. In 2015, WVU finished 19-3-1, reached as high as No. 2 nationally and set a then-program record with 61 goals scored while allowing a program-low 11 goals.

12 Freshman of the Year. WVU also produced three NSCAA All-Americans in 2016. The Mountaineers also excelled academically during the two-year stretch, as Carly Black, Bianca St. Georges, Amanda Hill and Kailey Utley earned Academic All-America and Scholar All-America honors. The program’s success extended beyond the collegiate level, as Buchanan and Lawrence signed professional contracts in France following the 2016 season with Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively. 2012-14 SEASONS
During WVU’s first three seasons in the Big 12 Conference from 2012-14, Izzo-Brown established the Mountaineers as the league’s premier program, leading WVU to five conference titles, including three straight regular-season championships, while earning three consecutive Big 12 Coach of the Year honors. The Mountaineers went unbeaten in Big 12 play twice during that span and combined for a 49-6-8 record from 2012-14, advancing to the NCAA Tournament each season. In 2014, WVU posted a program-record 19-match unbeaten streak and finished 16-2-4 with 12 shutouts and a No. 15 national ranking. WVU also earned numerous conference accolades during the stretch, including Big 12 Player of the Year honors from Frances Silva, Kadeisha Buchanan and Bry McCarthy. Buchanan became one of the nation’s top defenders, earning back-to-back Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors and All-America recognition. In the program’s inaugural Big 12 season in 2012, WVU captured the regular-season title with a 7-0-1 conference record and earned a signature 1-0 victory over No. 1 Stanford, snapping the Cardinal’s 64-match regular-season unbeaten streak. 2010-11 SEASONS
The 2010-11 seasons marked the end of an era as the Mountaineers won back-to-back Big East Championships before departing for membership in the Big 12 Conference. It also marked the third conference title in a five-season span. West Virginia finished the 2011 season with a 17-5-0 record, and a 10-1-0 mark in league play, to win its division for the fifth time. The 10 wins marked a school record, making WVU one of only four Big East schools to ever win 10 league contests in a season.

The Mountaineers finished the season ranked No. 9 by Soccer America and won 15 of their last 17 matches to close the season.
displayed a stingy defense that shut out 13 opponents over the course of the season, including eight Big East foes.
The 2010 season was a record-breaking one as the team won its second Big East Championship while advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16. WVU had its then-school record 14-match win streak end in the NCAA Tournament against College Cup participant Boston College, giving the Mountaineers a final record of 18-5-1.
2000-04 SEASONS
WVU’s 1-0 win over fifth-ranked Virginia matched the then-highest-ranked opponent defeated in school history, and the team’s 3-0 shutout against Georgetown marked the program’s 200th win. West Virginia’s defense set the then-single-season record for shutouts at 14, while goalkeeper Kerri Butler also broke the school record for career shutouts, finishing with 44. 2005-09 SEASONS
From 2005-09, the program reached new heights with consecutive NCAA appearances in every season and won its first Big East Championship. Izzo-Brown was named NSCAA/adidas and Soccer Buzz Mid-Atlantic Regional Coach of the Year in 2007 as WVU was ranked every week throughout the season and tied a then-school record for wins (18). The 2007 squad advanced to the program’s first NCAA Elite Eight while establishing an attendance record with more than 3,000 fans for the NCAA Elite Eight contest against USC. Three players earned All-America status and six were named All-Big East. Forward Ashley Banks added to Izzo-Brown’s collection of major award winners as the 2007 Big East Offensive Player of the Year and a Hermann Trophy semifinalist. WVU won Big East division titles in three straight seasons (2006-08) and at least one Mountaineer earned All-America honors from 2006-09. Carolyn Blank added the title of Big East Midfielder of the Year to her resume in 2008, a team that tied the then-school record for fewest losses in a season with just three defeats. Twelve seasons ago, Izzo-Brown took her high-powered offense to the 2006 NCAA Tournament as WVU scored a then-schoolrecord 55 goals in 21 games. Forward Deana Everrett had a breakout sophomore season to earn All-America Third Team honors from Soccer Buzz. The 2006 Mountaineers also

Led by All-Americans Chrissie Abbott and Lisa Stoia, the 2003 Mountaineers made history, going 17-4-2 to give West Virginia its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. The senior-led squad logged nine straight wins at one point during the season and had its first-ever Hermann Trophy nominee in Abbott, who graduated as WVU’s all-time leader in goals scored, points and shots, while Stoia established the school’s then-all-time assist record. Izzo-Brown directed West Virginia to an 18-31 record, at the time the most wins in school history, and the program’s first Big East division title in 2002. The Mountaineers also received their third consecutive invitation to the NCAA Tournament after putting together an 18-match unbeaten streak. Abbott was the Big East Offensive Player of the Year and a first team All-American, while Stoia earned Big East Midfielder of the Year honors. Izzo-Brown was the Big East and regional coach of the year. A youthful Mountaineer squad played to a fifth straight 15-win season in 2004 and saw Izzo-Brown’s fourth All-America develop as forward Laura Kane earned the nod from the NSCAA after an eight goal, nine assist senior season. West Virginia was nationally ranked for the first time in 2000, a regional coach of the year season for Izzo-Brown’s first-ever NCAA Tournament team. Four team members landed spots on Big East all-conference teams, including Big East Offensive Player of the Year Katie Barnes and co-Big East Rookie of the Year Stoia. In that season, Barnes became WVU’s first All-American. THE EARLY YEARS
Izzo-Brown accepted perhaps her greatest challenge on Aug. 3, 1995, when then-WVU Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong named her the first head coach of West Virginia’s women’s soccer program. In WVU’s inaugural season, Izzo-Brown led a young team to an amazing 10-7-2 record and a 4-4-1 Big East mark. WVU finished fifth in the conference, surprising Big East coaches, whose preseason prediction picked the fledgling Mountaineers to finish last. Soccer Buzz ranked West Virginia as the eighth-best

“new program” in the nation. Additionally, Izzo-Brown’s first season at WVU produced a Big East All-Rookie Team member in defender Stacey Sollmann. Only two years later, West Virginia made its first Big East Tournament with a team that won 11 matches in 1998. Stacey Adams was the program’s first Big East Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year winner, and Sollmann earned second team all-region accolades. Izzo-Brown led the Mountaineers to an 11-6-2 record in 1997, and two years later, they finished 9-9-1. With trust, hard work and sacrifice, the foundation had been laid for a breakout season in 2000. ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Izzo-Brown places a strong emphasis on academic excellence, with her teams consistently posting some of the highest GPAs on campus. WVU women’s soccer earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards four times in nine years for ranking in the top 10% nationally in Academic Progress Rate (APR), which measures eligibility, retention and graduation success. The Mountaineers also are annual recipients of the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award, while Bianca St. Georges earned 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America Team Member of the Year honors to highlight the program’s success in the classroom. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Izzo-Brown has established WVU as a pipeline to the professional and international levels,
with more than 40 Mountaineers going on to play professionally. In 2018, Michaela Abam and Amandine Pierre-Louis became the first pair of Mountaineers selected in the same NWSL Draft, going No. 4 and No. 6 overall to Sky Blue FC. At the international level, numerous Mountaineers have represented their national teams, including Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence, who helped Canada win Bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics and Gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics while competing in multiple FIFA Women’s World Cups and the 2024 Paris Olympics.

LISA STOIA
SENIOR ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH
WITH TWO DECADES of coaching experience to her name, Lisa Stoia begins her 20th season with the Mountaineer women’s soccer program at her alma mater. An integral piece in the emergence of the Mountaineers’ presence on the national stage, Stoia has helped guide WVU to multiple Big 12 and Big East titles, as well as 14 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament from 2007-20 and the 2016 NCAA College Cup Final. With Stoia’s help, West Virginia finished 2025 with a 14-3-4 record and an unbeaten 8-0-3 mark in Big 12 play, earning the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. WVU advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament, marking its 24th overall appearance in the national tournament. The Mountaineers also put together a 15-match unbeaten streak during the season that culminated with an unbeaten, 8-0-3 record in Big 12 Conference play. Stoia guided the WVU offense to another successful year in 2025, as three different Mountaineers scored six or more goals for the first time since 2018. At season’s end, five Mountaineers earned All-Big 12 honors, led by Taylor White on the First Team. White then went on to be recognized as a United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-American before signing a professional contract with Racing Louisville FC in the NWSL. In 2024, the Mountaineers made their 23rd appearance in the NCAA Tournament in program history. Finishing 12-5-3 overall, Stoia and the Mountaineers surpassed 400 program victories in 2024. The squad also posted a nine-match unbeaten streak to cap nonconference action and open Big 12 play with a 5-0-1 start, its best since 2016. Five Mountaineers were named to the 2024 All-Big 12 Teams, while a pair were recognized on the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Team.

The Mountaineers made a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, secured a Big 12 Tournament title in 2022 and consistently stood among the nation’s top programs, ranking as high as No. 4 in 2020. Defensively dominant, the team logged numerous shutouts, led by standout goalkeeper Kayza Massey and defender Jordan Brewster—both of whom earned multiple All-Big 12 and All-America honors. Under Stoia’s leadership, WVU earned national accolades and saw a surge in players turning pro. Five seniors from the 2023 class joined professional ranks, including Massey (Stade de Reims), Maya McCutcheon (NC Courage) and Maddie Moreau (Bay FC), while others entered the USL Super League. Brewster also went pro in 2022, along with classmate Gabrielle Robinson who was selected 15th overall in the NWSL Draft. Offensively, the Mountaineers made history in 2023 with a record-setting 9-0 win over St. Francis (Pa.). Academically, WVU produced numerous Academic All-District and All-Big 12 selections each year, with Brewster earning Academic All-America and Big 12 Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year honors.

Stoia gained national coaching experience in May 2018, as she assisted with the United States’ U-19 Women’s National Team Training Camp, working with the midfielders while also aiding with the planning of camp sessions and game schematics and holding daily video sessions. In addition to her on-field coaching assistance, Stoia also heads up the team’s travel throughout the season, as well as the team’s gear and its Nike Elite allotment. She also manages the Mountaineers’ on-campus visitations, recruiting and scouting efforts. In 2017, Stoia, who was elevated to senior associate head coach prior to the season, helped the Mountaineer attack generate 40 goals and 38 assists en route to a 16-4-3 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament Third Round, the team’s third consecutive trip.

Following the 2017 campaign, Abam and defender Amandine Pierre-Louis were drafted No. 4 and No. 6 overall by Sky Blue FC at the 2018 NWSL College Draft. A program goal that began even before she put on a Mountaineer uniform, Stoia helped WVU advance to its first-ever NCAA College Cup in 2016, where the team finished a program-best No. 2 nationally.

West Virginia put together a 14-3-4 overall record, as well as an undefeated, 8-0-3 mark in Big 12 play, marking its first unbeaten conference campaign since 2016. The unbeaten mark was good for a second-place finish in the final league standings, marking WVU’s best conference finish since 2020-21.

In his first season in 2023, WVU finished Big 12 play second in the conference in shutouts. Beltran guided star goalkeeper Kayza Massey to another spectacular season, as she collected eight shutouts in her final season with the Mountaineers. She logged 59 saves to finish her career with 207 career stops, good for No. 5 all-time in program history. At season’s end, Massey signed a professional contract with Stade de Reims in France. In addition to Massey, Maya McCutcheon, Maddie Moreau, Julianna Vallerand and Jaydah Bedoya also joined the pro ranks following the 2023 season. The group moved WVU’s alltime count of professional players to 40. Prior to arriving in Morgantown, Beltran served as an assistant coach at Liberty for two seasons, also working with the goalkeepers. While at Liberty, the Flames earned back-toback ASUN Regular-Season Championships and went from an RPI of 135 to 48. He also coached 13 all-conference selections, four all-region honorees and one scholar-athlete of the year. With the goalkeepers, Beltran coached the 2022 ASUN Goalkeeper of the Year, Ainsley Leja, who earned the nod in just her sophomore season. Leja started all 21 games for the Flames in 2022, tallying a 0.62 goalsagainst average, 56 saves and a 0.812 save percentage. Before his time at Liberty, Beltran spent three years at the University of Incarnate Word, where his primary duties were recruiting coordinator and working with the goalkeepers.

The 2026 season marks a milestone year for the West Virginia University women’s soccer program as it celebrates the 30-year anniversary of the team’s inaugural campaign in 1996. Over the last three decades, WVU has grown into one of the nation’s premier programs, capturing multiple conference championships, making consistent NCAA Tournament appearances and producing a tradition of excellence under the program’s first and only head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. West Virginia’s 30th year officially kicks off at home on Thursday, Aug. 13, when the Mountaineers welcome Dayton to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The 2026 nonconference slate features three opponents who competed in the 2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Tournament last fall and includes home contests against rivals Penn State and Marshall. The Mountaineers are set to open Big 12 play at home for the first time since 2021, as they will host five conference matches in Morgantown this season. Coming off another strong campaign in 2025, West Virginia enters the fall with expectations once again centered around competing for a Big 12 Championship and advancing deep into the NCAA Tournament. The Mountaineers are coming off back-to-back seasons with eight wins in league play and are looking to resume their place at the top of the conference in 2026. West Virginia returns eight starters off the 2025 roster, as well as 16 letterwinners. Abbey Olexa returns as the top goal scorer from last season, while WVU returns three of its four defensive starters on the back line from 2025. Furthermore, Bailey Herfurth returns for her final season between the posts for the Mountaineers. This experience, combined with an upperclassmen-heavy roster, sets the stage for an exciting campaign as the Mountaineers aim to leave their mark on the national stage.

The North Canton, Ohio, native finished her impressive career at West Virginia as only the second Mountaineer all-time to earn All-America honors in three consecutive seasons after she was named a United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-American in 2021 and 2022. Leading the Mountaineers in one of the program’s most unprecedented seasons amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Brewster helped WVU earn a 10-3-1 record in 2020-21 and the program’s 21st consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Brewster and the team returned to a bit of normalcy following the pandemic in 2021, and she helped lead WVU to a 10-5-5 mark, playing all 1,922 total minutes of game action. She helped the defense record 11 shutouts, including nine in the regular season, the most since 2017. An already impressive career was capped in the best way in 2022, as Brewster helped guide the Mountaineers to their fifth Big 12 Conference Tournament title. Not only was Brewster credited with the game-winning goal in the championship game, but she also helped the defense record a pair of shutouts on the way to the program’s 18th conference crown. On the year, Brewster and the Mountaineers compiled an 11-5-7 overall record and made their 22nd NCAA Tournament appearance all time. Brewster started 22 matches and played 1,944 minutes in her final campaign in Gold and Blue. In five seasons with WVU, Brewster started a program-record 101 matches and amassed 9,249 career minutes. An anchor for the WVU back line, Brewster has helped the squad tally 43 clean sheets. She also served as a co-captain during the 2020-21, 2021 and 2022 campaigns. A three-time All-Big 12 First Team member and two-time All-Big 12 Second Team honoree, Brewster also was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2020. She is a three-time honoree on the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List and is a four-time member of the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region First Team. Brewster also was honored on TopDrawerSoccer.com’s Best XI Second Team in 2020-21 and was named a candidate for the 2021 Women's Soccer Senior CLASS Award.

A natural leader both on and off the pitch, Brewster also showed success in the classroom, earning CSC Academic All-America Second Team recognition in 2022, CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team honors in 2020-21 and a United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America First Team nod in 2021 and 2022.
Taylor WHITE 2025 United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-American Taylor White capped one of the most productive careers in recent West Virginia women’s soccer history in 2025, leading the Mountaineers to an unbeaten Big 12 regular season and an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native’s storied career ended with her first United Soccer Coaches All-America honors, earning a spot on the Third Team. The honor came after she led the Mountaineers in 2025 with a career-best 10 goals and 10 assists as a senior, becoming one of the nation’s most dynamic attacking players. A four-year contributor for the Mountaineers, White appeared in 80 career matches and finished with 26 goals, 17 assists, 69 points and 4,164 minutes played. She earned All-Big 12 recognition in backto-back seasons, including First Team honors in 2025 and Second Team accolades in 2024. Known for her pace, creativity and ability to create scoring chances, White registered four game-winning goals during her senior campaign and tied for fourth in program history with 10 assists in a single season. White played a major role in WVU’s offensive success throughout her career, highlighted by multiple two-goal performances and several matches where she contributed to every Mountaineer goal. She posted three braces in 2025, the most for a WVU player in a single season since 2012. Additionally, White’s All-America recognition marked the first for a West Virginia forward since 2017. Following her standout collegiate career, White signed her first professional contract with Racing Louisville FC of the NWSL in January 2026, becoming the 45th professional player in WVU women’s soccer history.

WVU PRESIDENT
MICHAEL T. BENSON
Michael T. Benson, a veteran higher education administrator, became the 27th president of West Virginia University on July 15, 2025. He brings three decades of academic and administrative experience in higher education to his role leading West Virginia’s flagship, land-grant, R1 institution into a new era.
WVU is Benson’s fifth presidency. Prior to his arrival at Coastal Carolina in 2021, Benson led Snow College, Southern Utah University, and Eastern Kentucky University. During his tenure at Coastal Carolina, Benson secured a $10 million gift, the largest in the school’s history. He worked closely with community partners and policymakers to advance initiatives there, including the successful renewal of a local option penny sales tax to support public and higher education through the year 2039, the only tax of its kind in all of South Carolina. In 2024, under his leadership, Coastal Carolina enrolled its largest number of students ever - 11,225 - while also setting a record retention rate. As the 14th president of Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, he helped raise more private money for the institution during his tenure than had been secured in the previous 115 years of the college’s history combined. Appointed at age 36, Benson was the youngest college president in the history of the Utah System of Higher Education. Benson has also held faculty appointments at the University of Utah, the University of Notre Dame, and Johns Hopkins University, and has taught at each institution where he served as president, including Coastal Carolina where he was a professor of history. His scholarly work has focused on the development of the research university and its impact on society. Benson’s book, “Daniel Coit Gilman and the Birth of the American Research University,” was released by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2022. He was a visiting professor in the Department of the History of Science and Technology at Johns Hopkins in 2020. Benson’s biography of Gilman was named to the list of Best Higher

Education Books of 2023 by Forbes magazine.
Benson is also the author of “Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel,” and, with co-author Hal Boyd, published “College for the Commonwealth: A Case for Higher Education in American Democracy” with the University Press of Kentucky. Nationally, Benson serves on the Council of Presidents of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges. He also is the past board chair of Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership honor society and is the former chair of the NCAA Honors Committee. Benson is sought after for public speeches and appearances. He was a featured contributor to the Huffington Post for 5 years; has written articles for The Jerusalem Post, Lexington Herald-Leader, Louisville Courier Journal, The Kansas City Star, Deseret News, and The Salt Lake Tribune, among others; and appeared on ESPN’s The Paul Finebaum Show. Born in Utah and raised in Texas and Indiana, Benson has worked and studied abroad for nearly 7 years in Italy, England, and Israel. He graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in political science and double minors in English and history from Brigham Young University in 1990. He completed his doctorate in modern history from the University of Oxford (St. Antony’s College) in 1995, where he was a Rotary Foundation Scholar and recipient of the Oxford Graduate Overseas Fellowship. He also earned a master’s degree cum laude in nonprofit administration in 2011 from the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business, where he was the recipient of the prestigious Father Theodore Hesburgh
2026 Mountaineer Women's Soccer
Founder’s Award. Benson graduated with a Master of Liberal Arts from Johns Hopkins University in August 2021 and was elected to the Honor Society of the Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs. An accomplished athlete, President Benson played basketball at BYU and Oxford, and his best marathon time – 2 hours and 41 minutes – won his age division in the St. George (Utah) Marathon. He also finished among the top 25% of all runners in the 1984 Boston Marathon, one of only 19 teenagers from around the world to compete in the race. An avid traveler, he has visited all 50 states and five of the seven continents. He and his wife, Debi, are the parents of three children – Truman, Tatum, and Talmage. He also has two older children from a previous marriage. Emma is a TV reporter for KSL in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Samuel writes for Politico in Washington, D.C. Sam’s wife, Keylla, attends Georgetown Law School.
WVU VICE PRESIDENT/ DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
WREN BAKER @WRENBAKER
Wren Baker has reenergized WVU Athletics and positioned the department for long-term success in the ever-changing and challenging world of college athletics. The right man for the job at the right time perfectly exemplifies Wren Baker’s four years in Morgantown. Knowing that athletics is the front porch of the University, Baker has faced every challenge head on and never looked back, making sure WVU Athletics is ready for the future, while advancing the University’s core mission. Whether it is coaching searches and high-profile hires, facility master plans, revenue sharing, venue naming rights or a modern, business-like approach to Name, Image and Likeness, Baker has brought new thinking and confidence to WVU Athletics, and his reputation across the country is second-to-none. Under his leadership, West Virginia was one of the first departments in the country to develop an in-house, NIL-structured business with the creation of Gold & Blue Enterprises to benefit the student-athlete experience. He has also aggressively started to change the look of WVU’s two major athletic venues by adding premium seating to Hope Coliseum and igniting a massive press box project to Milan Puskar Stadium for 2028 to optimize space and add key luxury options.
The Baker Family: Reagan, Addisyn, Heather and Wren
WVU has also turned in record fundraising numbers in his four years as his forward thinking and strategic planning are geared to bringing future success and revenue stability to the state’s Land-Grant Institution. Baker was an instant hit with WVU fans. He embedded himself into the Morgantown community and traveled the state to learn about its culture, geography and history. He has met and listened to Mountaineer fans from all over the world and immersed himself on what it means to be a proud West Virginian. The results of his approach and work ethic speak volumes as the West Virginia Mountaineers continue to be a national brand, and Baker has become an adopted son of the state. Despite accomplishing so much in a brief period of time, Baker’s plate is still full. Continued revenue generation, building on past NIL success, expanding the in-house, full-service business agency for further student-athlete advancement and additional new fundraising opportunities are all on his radar. His endless energy never stops moving WVU forward.
Athletic success under Baker has brought major economic impact to the state and local economy. In 2026 alone, WVU played host to four NCAA tournament regionals, bringing guests to Morgantown from all over. The highly successful women’s basketball NCAA regional along with baseball’s regional and super regional play produced sellout crowds that were the talk of their respective sports. Baker is a high-energy leader, and Mountaineer success has been contagious in competition and in the classroom. Conference championships, NCAA appearances and two national championships in rifle have been followed by strong academic achievement for Mountaineer student-athletes, eclipsing previous department highs in GPA, Academic WVUWomensSoccer
Progress Rate and graduation success rate.
Baker was named WVU’s vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics on Nov. 30, 2022. He has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of $120 million, more than 250 employees and nearly 500 student-athletes, whose WVU experience has been amplified under Baker’s leadership. Baker is WVU’s 13th director of athletics and he came to Morgantown from the University of North Texas, where he had been the associate vice president and athletics director since 2016. With previous stops at Missouri, Memphis, Northwest Missouri and Rogers State, he brought more than 20 years of experience to WVU. At North Texas, seven Mean Green programs combined to win 17 conference or division championships during Baker’s tenure. UNT also reached new heights in the classroom
@WVUWomensSoccer
under Baker’s leadership, posting its top APR scores and four consecutive department Graduation Success Rate (GSR) records. Baker led record fundraising years at North Texas, and the overall top five largest gifts ever at UNT came under Baker’s leadership. Prior to North Texas, Baker was the deputy director of athletics at Missouri from 2015 to 2016, serving as the top advisor and chief of staff. Before Missouri, he spent time at Memphis from 2013-15 as deputy athletics director. From 2011-13, Baker was athletics director at NCAA Division II power Northwest Missouri State. From 2006-11, Baker served as the first athletics director at Rogers State in Claremore, Oklahoma, where he was also the school’s first men’s basketball coach. His team went 20-11 in his only season at the helm, and during his tenure, he developed a full-scale, competitive collegiate athletics program. In 2005, he was the principal and athletics director for Valliant Public Schools, and at age 26, was the youngest principal in Oklahoma history. Originally from Valliant, Oklahoma, Baker earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Southeastern Oklahoma State in 2001 where he was a member of the honors program. He went on to earn his master’s degree in education leadership from Oklahoma State in 2003. While at Oklahoma State, Baker was a graduate assistant and basketball operations assistant for the Cowboys’ men’s basketball program under legendary head coach Eddie Sutton. During his time with OSU, the Cowboys posted a 102-30 record, reaching four NCAA tournaments with trips to the 2004 Final Four and the 2005 Sweet 16. Baker and his wife, Heather, a Bokchito, Oklahoma, native, have two daughters, Addisyn and Reagan.
