West Virginia Mountaineers men's soccer
The West Virginia Mountaineers men's soccer team is the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I soccer team of West Virginia University (WVU).[2] Since the 2012 season, the team has been an affiliate member of the Mid-American Conference because the school's primary conference, the Big 12 Conference, does not sponsor men's soccer.[3]
