BUCKHANNON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Wesleyan (1-1-0) women’s soccer team utilized two first half goals and kept a clean sheet against Davis & Elkins (0-2-0) in a 2-0 victory at Ross Field on Sunday (March 14).
“It feels good to get back into the win column,” head coach Richard Owens said. “We worked hard and deserved this win today.”
