The West Virginia Mountaineers are the intercollegiate women's soccer team representing West Virginia University. The Mountaineers compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) as members of the Big 12 Conference. The first team was fielded in 1996. WVU plays its home games at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia.
The women's soccer team at WVU has been coached by Nikki Izzo-Brown since the team launched in 1996.
West Virginia has qualified for the NCAA Tournament each of the last 16 seasons, making the quarterfinal round twice (2007 and 2015).
Since joining the Big 12 Conference, West Virginia women's soccer has won five straight outright regular-season championships, becoming the first program in league history to do so. The Mountaineers are also the first team in the Big 12 to finish three seasons with an unbeaten league record. In 2016, the Mountaineers became the second program in Big 12 history to finish league play with an unbeaten and untied league record (Nebraska accomplished that feat twice, finishing 9-0-0 in 1996 and 10-0-0 in 1999).
WVU has posted a 35-1-3 record in regular-season league contests. The Mountaineers are 18-0-1 at home against Big 12 foes and have not lost a league game there since October 2, 2009 vs. Notre Dame. West Virginia has a 6-2-1 record in the Big 12 tournament, winning back-to-back championships in 2013 and 2014.
The Mountaineers' five regular-season league titles ranks first among current Big 12 members and second all-time in the conference's history (Texas A&M had 7). West Virginia's eight combined (regular-season and tournament) championships is also first among current Big 12 members and tied for second best in Big 12 history (Texas A&M had 12 and Nebraska had 8).
