The Bobcats have not met expectations this season. As of Sept. 12, Wesleyan is 0-3-2, sitting towards the bottom of the conference. However, midfielder
Matthew Bentley, returns to Wesleyan for his junior campaign. Bentley scored the winning goal in last year’s MEC Championship game to soar the University of Charleston perfect season.
New to the field this year is WLU men’s soccer team. After scrimmaging against several teams and clubs last season, West Liberty was officially added to the MEC conference for the 2018 season. As of Sept. 14,
Head Coach Thomas Olivier and the Hilltoppers are 1-3-0, and rank third-to-last
in the conference.
Goalkeeper
Florian Dupuis has made a strong defensive impact in his senior year for the Black and Gold. Dupuis made 10 saves in their 0-4 loss to Notre Dame College last Sunday. For the season, Dupuis has 19 saves with a .655 save percentage.
The men’s soccer team is still looking for their first road win as a program on the campus of West Liberty University and this match-up against the West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats isn’t going to be easy but if they are able to get their first road win, it could give them momentum moving forward.
Coverage for the West Liberty-Wesleyan game will begin at 7 p.m. on Sunday. Next Thursday, both WLU soccer teams will host Urbana in a doubleheader.
