WAY OF LIFE.



WINNING AND WORKING HARD ARE IMPORTANT TO THE WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM. BUT BECOMING SUCCESSFUL AND POSITIVE ROLE MODELS ON AND OFF THE FIELD IS JUST AS SIGNIFICANT TO THEM. THE

MOUNTAINEERS HAVE RAISED MORE THAN

$150,000

OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS FOR MORGANTOWN’S

BETTY PUSKAR BREAST CARE FOUNDATION AND THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER.



CHELSEY CORROTO (2008-11) “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 a 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.”

CATHY ABEL (2003-06) “I chose to play soccer at WVU because of my aspiration to be a part of one of the most competitive programs in the country. Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and her staff built an infant program into a top 10 power.”


MAURA CIRILLI (2001-04) “Led by Nikki Izzo-Brown and her coaching staff, the fierce competition, team training, and grueling conditioning sessions on top of academic responsibility…they prepared us not only for matches, but for life after graduation.”

CHRISSIE ABBOTT (2000-03) “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.”


LAURA FINLEY (2000-03) “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.”

RENA (LIPPA) LINDSAY (1996-98) “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.”


NIKKI (GARZON) GOODENOW (1997-98) “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.”

CAROLINE SZWED (2009-13) “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.”

The Mountaineers enter the program’s 25th season three years removed from the team’s best-ever season in 2016, as the squad made its first NCAA College Cup appearance and finished as the NCAA National Runner-Up. WVU has appeared in each of the last 19 NCAA Tournaments, the country’s fifthlongest streak. To date, Izzo-Brown has led the Mountaineers to an impressive 352-119-55 overall record and a 14644-23 conference mark that includes 10 regular-season titles and seven tournament championships, including the 2018 Big 12 Soccer Championship title. Dating back to its days in the Big East Conference, West Virginia has won at least one conference title in eight of the last 10 seasons. The Mountaineers won the conference regular-season title in each of their first five years as members of the Big 12, 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 2012 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-10 opponent in 14 of the last 15 seasons. 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.

WVU ranked as high as No. 11 during the course of the season. Playing with a big group of promising up-and-comers infused with several key veterans, two Mountaineers – Jordan Brewster and Rylee Foster – were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team at season’s end, while freshmen Enzi Broussard and Nicole Payne landed on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. Additionally, Brewster and Foster were named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Second Team, while Foster also appeared on the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List for the second consecutive season. In the classroom, nine players were named to the 2019 Academic All-Big 12 Team, including six on the first team.

The Mountaineers returned to the top of the Big 12 Conference in 2018, winning their ninth league title with a 3-0 victory over No. 9 Baylor in the Big 12 Championship final on Nov. 4, at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri. WVU found itself in an unfamiliar position at the onset of the season, despite entering the campaign ranked No. 9 nationally, as the squad went 0-1-3 through its first three matches. With Izzo-Brown’s guidance, the Mountaineers finished their regular-season slate at 4-1 before opening conference play with a pair of 2-0 road wins at No. 22 Texas Tech and at No. 21 TCU. WVU would go on to also defeat No. 13 Texas, 2-1, and re-enter the national rankings at No. 16 following five weeks away before concluding the Big 12 campaign at 7-2. The Mountaineers earned a No. 2 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament, their 19th consecutive appearance, the fifth-longest active streak. WVU bowed out in the second round following a 2-2 draw (5-6 PKs) to Wake Forest. WVU spent eight weeks ranked in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and finished the season at No. 14. Additionally, the Mountaineer backline posted 12 shutouts and allowed 12 opponents goals for a 0.541 goals-against average (GAA), the 11th-best mark nationally. Senior defender Bianca St. Georges was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, extending WVU’s streak to seven seasons with a Mountaineer claiming the honor. A conference-best eight Mountaineers claimed All-Big 12 honors, including first-team recognitions for St. Georges, goalkeeper Rylee Foster, forward Sh’Nia Gordon and defender Easther Mayi Kith. Gordon was named the Big 12 Championship Most

Outstanding Offensive Player, and Mayi Kith was named the Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Defensive Player. At season’s end, St. Georges and Foster, WVU’s 11th and 12th Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy candidates, were named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Second and Third Teams, respectively. Foster’s honor was the first for a WVU netminder. St. Georges also was named to the Senior CLASS Award All-America First Team and won the Google Cloud Academic All-America of the Year Award for Division I women’s soccer, the second Mountaineer since 2013 to earn the nation’s highest academic honor. She also was named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America First Team, while Mayi Kith landed on the third team. Four Mountaineer seniors signed professional contracts following their time at WVU. St. Georges and midfielder Grace Cutler were drafted No. 20 and No. 22 at the 2019 NWSL College Draft, while Mayi Kith signed with Montpellier HSC and Gordon signed with FC Metz.

2017 SEASON Following the most successful season in program history, Izzo-Brown and the Mountaineers entered the 2017 campaign ranked No. 1 in the United Soccer Coaches Preseason Poll, WVU’s first-ever preseason No. 1 ranking. The 2017 season also marked the first time in program history the Mountaineers beat the nation’s top team in Morgantown, as WVU defeated No. 1 Penn State, 2-1, on Sept. 2, at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. With the victory, the Mountaineers improved to 2-2 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams. Midway through the season, the Mountaineers’ strength of schedule was rightfully ranked No. 1 nationally, as WVU faced at least one ranked opponent in each of the first six weeks of the campaign, a program first. WVU finished with multiple wins (2) against top-10 teams in back-to-back years for the first time in 22 years. The Mountaineers ranked within the top 10 of the United Soccer Coaches Poll each week in 2017 and within the top 5 for four weeks. WVU ended the year ranked No. 10. WVU finished at 16-4-3 and 7-1-1 in the Big 12 Conference. The Mountaineers earned a No. 2 regional seed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament and advanced to the third round for the third consecutive season. WVU’s backline posted 13 shutouts and ranked No. 20 nationally with a 0.565 shutout percentage.

Along with Pierre-Louis, she also was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Second Team. Abam was the fifth Mountaineer in four years to be named a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award before landing on the Senior CLASS Award All-America Second Team. St. Georges led the way in the classroom, as she was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team, as well as the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America Second Team. Midfielder Alli Magaletta was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team, marking the third straight season the Mountaineers earned Academic All-America accolades. Izzo-Brown’s 22nd season as the Mountaineers’ head coach concluded with another first, as Abam and Pierre-Louis were drafted No. 4 and No. 6 overall, respectively, by Sky Blue FC at the

2018 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) College Draft, marking the first time in program history two Mountaineers were drafted in the same year.

2015-16 SEASONS – A PROGRAM TURNS 20 AND REACHES NEW HEIGHTS Izzo-Brown led the Mountaineers to the NCAA College Cup for the first time in 2016. After defeating North Carolina, 1-0, in the semifinal, WVU fell, 3-1, to USC in the final to finish as the NCAA National Runner-Up. The tournament appearance was the team’s 17th straight and first as a regional No. 1 seed. WVU’s run to the NCAA College Cup final included a 3-0-1 mark in tournament matches at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, including 1-0 wins over No. 5 Duke in the quarterfinal and Ohio State in a thrilling overtime match in the second round. Simply put, the 2016 Mountaineer squad was special. In addition to reaching the national final, WVU swept the Big 12 Conference titles, winning its fifth straight regular-season crown and third postseason title. The Mountaineers reached as high as No. 1 in the national polls, a position they held for eight weeks, and set program records for wins (23) and shutouts (18).

Unbelievably, WVU did all this by utilizing 10 different starting lineups. Regardless of personnel, WVU claimed wins over four top10 teams, its best single-season output. The Mountaineers finished with a 23-2-2 record and an 8-0 mark in the Big 12 Conference, the squad’s fourth undefeated season in five years. The team’s two defeats matched the program’s season low. Led by senior center back Kadeisha Buchanan, the program’s first MAC Hermann Trophy winner, the Honda Sport Award winner for soccer and the espnW National Player of the Year, the Mountaineer defense shut out 18 opponents, tops in the NCAA, and allowed just 12 opponent goals, none to a Big 12 opponent, posting the conference’s first-ever shut-out season. WVU finished the season ranked No. 5 nationally in shutout percentage (.667) and No. 8 in goalsagainst average (.432). The Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year for a record-setting fifth straight season, Izzo-Brown coached three NSCAA All-Americans, a program high. Buchanan, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive year, earned her third straight first-team award and fourth career honor, becoming the first Mountaineer to earn All-America status in each season at WVU. Senior midfielder Ashley Lawrence, a Hermann Trophy semifinalist for the second straight season, was named to the first team for the

second straight season, while Abam, the co-Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, was named to the second team. Buchanan and Lawrence also were named to the Senior CLASS Award AllAmerica First and Second Teams, respectively. Senior defender Carly Black and St. Georges collected CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, with Black named to the second team and St. Georges landing on the third team. Additionally, six Mountaineers collected a conference-best seven All-Big 12 honors. At season’s end, Buchanan and Lawrence inked professional contracts in France, with Buchanan signing with Olympique Lyonnais and Lawrence signing with Paris Saint-Germain. Izzo-Brown made sure the Mountaineers’ 20th season in 2015 was a year to remember, as she led WVU back to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals, the squad’s second appearance and first since 2007. In addition to their run through the NCAA Tournament, the Mountaineers also captured their fourth straight Big 12 Conference regularseason title with a 6-0-1 mark.

The Mountaineers finished the season at 19-3-1. WVU was ranked in the top 10 of the NSCAA Poll the last 15 weeks of the season and peaked at No. 2, a position the squad held for two weeks. The Mountaineers finished the year ranked No. 7.

Senior midfielder Amanda Hill pushed WVU’s AllAmerica count to three, as she was named to the Senior CLASS All-America Second Team. Hill also was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team, and classmate Kailey Utley landed on the NSCAA Scholar All-America Third Team.

Led by Izzo-Brown, the WVU defense posted 15 shutouts, the third-best mark in the NCAA, and allowed just 11 goals and 44 corner kicks all year. WVU ended the season ranked No. 5 nationally in goals-against average (0.471) and shutout percentage (0.652). The 11 goals allowed were the fewest in program history. The Mountaineer offense also was spectacular, setting a program record with 61 goals.

Buchanan secured her third straight Big 12 Defender of the Year honor, and St. Georges was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year. Additionally, 10 of the 11 WVU starters earned a combined 11 All-Big 12 honors, a league-best mark and a program record.

2012-14 SEASONS In their first three seasons as members of the Big 12 Conference, the Mountaineers staked their claim as the team to beat, winning five conference titles, including three straight regularseason crowns, and six player of the year awards. Izzo-Brown led the Mountaineers to two Big 12 Conference titles in 2014, as WVU successfully defended its regular-season and championship titles. The Mountaineers ended the season on a 19-match unbeaten streak, a program record, and went unbeaten in Big 12 play for the second time in three seasons. WVU advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 15th straight season and earned a 16-2-4 record. The squad finished the year ranked No. 15 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire College Rankings. The Mountaineer defense posted 12 shutouts, including five in Big 12 regular-season play, with four coming on the road. The four conference road shutouts marked the first time in program history WVU denied each conference opponent a goal in its home arena. Izzo-Brown earned her third straight Big 12 Coach of the Year honor, while Buchanan scored her second consecutive Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honor and Abam was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.

The Mountaineers secured seven straight victories in conference play in 2013 to earn their second straight Big 12 title with a 7-1 record. The team continued its stronghold on its conference opponents with three shut-out victories at the 2013 Big 12 Soccer Tournament en route to the Mountaineers’ first Big 12 Conference Championship title, also the first for any WVU team at a Big 12 Conference Championship. With the win, WVU earned the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, its 14th consecutive appearance. The Mountaineers advanced to the second round for the ninth time in program history, the first time since 2010, and finished the year at 16-4-3 and ranked No. 12 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire College Rankings and No. 8 in the TopDrawerSoccer.com Top 25 Rankings. WVU swept the conference awards, as Frances Silva was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and Buchanan was the Big 12 Defender and Newcomer of the Year; the Mountaineers became the first team to win the offensive and defensive awards in the same season. Additionally, Izzo-Brown earned her second straight Big 12 Coach of the Year honor, and six student-athletes scored eight All-Big 12 awards. The successful season ended with the trio scoring several major awards, including NSCAA/ Continental Tire All-America Second Team honors for Silva and Buchanan and NSCAA Central Region Coach of the Year accolades for IzzoBrown. Additionally, Silva, a Hermann Trophy semifinalist, was named an NSCAA College Scholar All-American and the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year. In its inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference in 2012, WVU won the regular-season championship with a 7-0-1 record. Seven student-athletes were named All-Big 12, including senior Bry McCarthy, who was chosen as the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. IzzoBrown was named the conference coach of the year. The 2012 Mountaineers scored an upset win over No. 1-ranked Stanford, 1-0, on Aug. 26 at the Penn State Invitational. The win snapped Stanford’s 64-match regular-season unbeaten streak. West Virginia defeated visiting Texas Tech, 3-2, on Sept. 21 to give women’s soccer, and WVU athletics, its first victory as members of the Big 12 Conference. To end their careers, McCarthy earned AllAmerica honors and midfielder Bri Rodriguez was named a NSCAA College Scholar AllAmerican.

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. 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. 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.

Twelve seasons ago, Izzo-Brown took her highpowered offense to the 2006 NCAA Tournament as WVU scored a then-school-record 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 displayed a stingy defense that shut out 13 opponents over the course of the season, including eight Big East foes.

2000-04 SEASONS 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 18-3-1 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 AllAmerican, 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 IzzoBrown’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 AllAmerican.

West Virginia’s defense set the then-singleseason 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.

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 Graduation is a must for Izzo-Brown-coached players, who are asked to challenge themselves academically while at WVU. Her teams consistently hold one of the program’s highest GPAs on campus with their serious commitment to academics. The women’s soccer team received public recognition in the spring of 2017 for the fourth time in nine years by the NCAA for its multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The team posted a multiyear APR in the top-10 percent of all squads in each sport. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance. Izzo-Brown has coached 25 Academic AllAmericans and 14 United Soccer Coaches/ NSCAA Scholar All-Americans. Additionally, the United Soccer Coaches honored her team in the fall of 2019 with its 18th consecutive NSCAA Team Academic Award for its work in the classroom. A program-record 13 Mountaineers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Soccer Team in 2018, while four freshmen landed on the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team.

Bianca St. Georges was named the 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America of the Year, giving WVU two honors in six seasons. She also was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team. Nine different WVU women’s soccer student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and the Mountaineers have collected nine awards in the last six seasons and 13 honors since 2001. With tremendous experience and knowledge of the game, Izzo-Brown has built a reputation for getting the most out of her student-athletes. The veteran coach maximizes the performance of her players by providing opportunities to process information in multiple ways in order to find success for each individual. Paving the way for the success of recent Mountaineers, Katie Barnes was the first women’s soccer player to be named an AllAmerican and captured two straight Big East Offensive Player of the Year awards. In all, IzzoBrown has guided 25 players to All-America status and 22 conference player of the year honors. Barnes was drafted with the first pick of the second round (ninth overall) of the 2002 Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) Draft by the Carolina Courage. Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence signed professional contracts in France in early 2017, with Buchanan playing for Olympique Lyonnais and Lawrence playing for Paris Saint-Germain. One year later, Michaela Abam and Amandine Pierre-Louis were drafted No. 4 and No. 6 overall by Sky Blue FC at the 2018 NWSL College Draft, marking the first time in program history two Mountaineers were drafted in the same season. In total, 80 percent of the 2017 senior class and 44 percent of the 2018 senior class signed professional contracts. Last season, Rylee Foster joined the professional ranks by signing with English club Liverpool FC. During the 2012 offseason, Izzo-Brown served as an assistant at U.S. Women’s National Team training camps with the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 squads. In the summer of 2011, she joined April Heinrichs, U.S. Soccer Technical Director, for a week of training with the U-20 team. She also spent time after the 2007 season as an assistant coach with the U-20 National Team under thenhead coach Jill Ellis. During her coaching tenure, more than 40 Mountaineers have participated in the national team scene, with Barnes being selected to the team that won the 2001 Nordic Cup. Former Mountaineer Vanessa Flores was a member of the Mexican Women’s National Team, and Buchanan and Lawrence competed for Canada at the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cups,

where Buchanan was named the Best Young Player in 2015. The duo also helped Canada claim Bronze at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic Games.

PRIOR TO WVU As a player, Izzo-Brown attained All-America status at Rochester, where she was a four-year starter from 1989-92. During that span, IzzoBrown helped the Yellowjackets to a 58-10-9 record and four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. In 1991, as a junior, she led Rochester to a 16-4-2 mark and a spot in the NCAA championship game. During her career at Rochester, Izzo-Brown also earned All-East, all-region and all-league honors, while meriting Dean’s List recognition all four years. Following her senior campaign, she won the prestigious Merle Spurrier Award, which recognizes Rochester’s top female athlete based on leadership, academics and athletics. Izzo-Brown graduated from Rochester in the spring of 1993 with a degree in psychology. That fall, she was named assistant coach at West Virginia Wesleyan, where she continued her winning ways by helping the Bobcats to a 12-7 record. Izzo-Brown was elevated to head coach in 1994 and led Wesleyan to a 13-5 mark and a spot in the NAIA National Tournament. While coaching at the Buckhannon, West Virginia, school, Izzo-Brown earned her Master of Business Administration degree in 1994. In the fall of 2010, she was inducted into the University of Rochester Athletic Hall of Fame.

PERSONAL In addition to her duties at WVU, Izzo-Brown is certified as an advanced national level coach by the NSCAA, has her USSF “B” license and is a Region I senior staff Olympic Development member. She has served on several regional and national ranking committees for the NSCAA. She also is qualified internationally with Brazilian, KNVB and Czech Republic certification. In May 2010, Izzo-Brown was named to the West Virginia Executive Sports Hall of Fame. Later that fall, she was inducted into the University of Rochester Athletic Hall of Fame for her outstanding achievement in the sport of soccer. Eight summers ago, she was named a 2011 Frontier Field Walk of Fame inductee. In March 2018, Izzo-Brown was inducted as a meritorious member into the West Virginia Soccer Association Hall of Fame. She and her husband, Joe, have three daughters – Samantha, Gracie and Gabriella.

LISA

STOIA Senior Associate Head Coach

With more than 15 years of coaching experience to her name, Lisa Stoia begins her 14th season with the Mountaineer soccer program at her alma mater. An integral cog 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 13 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament and the 2016 NCAA College Cup Final. Under Stoia’s tutelage, West Virginia advanced to the NCAA Tournament Third Round for the four time in five years in 2019. The squad finished 12-8-2 on the year, including 5-3-1 inside the Big 12. The Mountaineers once again faced one of the toughest schedules in the country, taking on 10 teams that reached the NCAA Tournament.

14th Season Date of Birth: August 28 Hometown: Shirley, N.Y. Alma Mater: West Virginia University, B.S. 2005; Jacksonville, M.B.A. 2007 Coaching Career: Jacksonville, 2005-06; West Virginia, 2007-present Playing Career: (midfielder) West Virginia, 2000-03; Boston Renegades, 2005-06; St. Louis Athletica, 2009

Ranked as high as No. 11 in the national polls, Jordan Brewster and Rylee Foster earned All-Big 12 Second Team and United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Second Team honors, while a pair of freshmen – Enzi Broussard and Nicole Payne – were placed on the All-Big 12-Freshman Team. In 2018, Stoia aided the Mountaineers climb back to champion status, as WVU claimed the Big 12 Soccer Championship title in November with a 3-0 showing at the league tournament, capped by a 3-0 victory over No. 9 Baylor in the title match. The title was the team’s 17th conference championship and ninth in Big 12 play. WVU finished the season with a 15-4-4 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Nationally ranked seven weeks throughout the season, the Mountaineers peaked at No. 8 and finished the year at No. 14. The Mountaineer offense produced 46 goals and 35 assists in 2018, with midfielder Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel finishing second on the team with 14 points and third on the team with six goals. Midfielder Nadya Gill paced WVU with seven assists.

SEASON NOTEBOOK

At last, the 2020 season is here. Following the most unique offseason in program history, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team finally returns to action for its 25th season of competition. The challenges ahead are certainly different than what the nine-time Big 12 champions are accustomed to, including a condensed, conference-only fall schedule, but the squad’s ultimate goal remains the same: Win the day. For the second consecutive season, the Mountaineers are youthful, with 17 of the team’s 25 players being freshmen or sophomores. However, there’s no shortage of talent in this group, which the squad hopes can carry it to more success.

“It’s like an onion – there are so many layers to this season,” WVU coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “I’m just so proud of us, first and foremost, for staying healthy. And then for us to maintain our focus and get ready for games has been great. Coaches always want to play, and we’re fortunate to have an opportunity to go out and compete. This team is really excited for that.” Here’s what you need to know heading into the new campaign. • This season marks the 25th year of WVU women’s soccer. The only coach in program history, Nikki Izzo-Brown has led the Mountaineers to a 352-119-55 mark. • WVU is coming off a 12-82 campaign last fall. The squad

reached the NCAA Tournament for the 20th consecutive season and advanced to the third round. • The Mountaineers welcome back 13 letterwinners off the 2019 squad, including eight starters. • WVU adds eight newcomers to the mix this season, including one transfer and two West Virginia natives. • Junior defender Jordan Brewster was named to the 2020 Preseason All-Big 12 Team. The North Canton, Ohio, native has twice been selected to the All-Big 12 Second Team. • Brewster is joined by redshirt junior forward Lauren Segalla and redshirt junior midfielder Grace Smith as 2020 team captains.

• Sophomore forward Enzi Broussard and sophomore defender Nicole Payne return to the mix this fall after earning All-Big 12 Freshman Team honors last season. • The Mountaineers were voted to finish fourth in the Preseason Big 12 Poll. • This year’s squad consists of one senior, two redshirt juniors, five juniors, one redshirt sophomore, nine sophomores and seven freshmen. • The Mountaineers hail for 11 different states and four countries. WVU features three players from Canada, Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, two from Connecticut, England and Texas and one from Alabama, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Spain and Virginia. • Junior forward Alina Stahl led the squad in goals in 2019, with eight. The total ranked No. 8 in the Big 12. She also paced the team with 18 total points (8G, 2A). • In all, WVU returns 10 players who scored at least once last season. • The Mountaineers are a staggering 67-11-8 all-time against its nine Big 12 opponents this fall. • WVU also returns nine players who played at least 1,000 minutes a year ago, led by sophomore defender Gabrielle Robinson (2,049). • Six players are back on this year’s roster who started 15 or more games in 2019. Brewster and Robinson started all 22 for the Gold and Blue last fall. • To ensure consistent health and safety protocols, the Big 12 limited women’s soccer matches to conference opponents only this fall. • Despite the cancelation of NCAA fall championships, the Division I Board of Directors will work toward hosting the events in the spring, if they can be conducted safely and in accordance with federal, state and local health guidelines.

SHANE LYONS In his sixth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletics program is crystal clear. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the dayto-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition, and it is working. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff. His success has brought national exposure to West Virginia as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. He chairs the all-important Football Oversight Committee and is also a member of the NCAA Council. Additionally, Lyons serves on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He served on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018. In the office, he devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. His Climbing Higher facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the student-athlete. It’s an aggressive, $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values - enhancing the student-athlete experience. The campaign is already making a difference with a complete renovation of football’s Milan Puskar Center and the future emergence of an Olympic Sports Performance Center. And, coming in 2021, Lyons will lead the celebration of the 50th birthday of the WVU Coliseum and oversee the installation of 14,000 new seats, a new videoboard, lighting and sound system for the venerable structure. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for sustained future success, building winning programs and growing WVU’s strong reputation across the country. He is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear-view mirror. In 2019, Lyons commissioned and announced an economic impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s proudly saw the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU, but also local schools and the entire community. The Mountaineers proudly hosted the 2020 Big 12 swimming and diving championships in that beautiful facility. Additionally, in the last two years, Lyons’ department has hosted the NCAA rifle national championships, the Big 12 golf championship and an NCAA baseball regional. In 2019 and again in 2020, WVU recorded its highest APR score ever and finished above the national average both
