MORGANTOWN, W.Va.— The Seton Hall women’s soccer team fell to #21 West Virginia, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The loss puts Seton Hall’s record at 6-4-2 and 2-3 in the BIG EAST while West Virginia improves to 6-3-3 and 3-1-1 in the BIG EAST. Junior co-captain Katie Herr (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) scored the lone goal for the Pirates.

The Pirates got off to a quick start, scoring the first goal of the game 14 minutes into play. After a pass through the middle from sophomore Ashley Reinecke (Toms River, N.J.), Herr put it into the back of the net to put the Pirates up 1-0. The Mountaineers tied it up three minutes later with a goal by Natalie Cocchi. The remainder of the half was a battle of the midfield, until with 27 seconds remaining, West Virginia would take the lead with off a goal by Ashley Banks.
