MORGANTOWN, W.V. — Due to inclement weather, the University of Kentucky men?s soccer team had its exhibition match with West Virginia University suspended. The game was suspended early in the second half of play with the Mountaineers up 1-0.
Mountaineer senior Dan Stratford scored the lone goal of the match off of a give-and-go from teammate Andy Wright. Stratford fed the ball to Wright who made a run up the right sideline. Wright found Stratford inside the box who netted a hard left shot.
WVU controlled the tempo in the first half, registering four shots on goal and five corner kicks in just 45 minutes. UK did not record a shot on goal.
The match concludes the exhibition season for the Wildcats, who tied its first exhibition of the season 1-1 with Dayton on Monday. Kentucky kicks off its season with the annual UK Invitational, welcoming Cornell on August 31.
Last season, UK ran up 14 wins and netted a school-record tying 44 goals. The Wildcats ended its season with a program-best No. 13 national ranking and a second-place finish in the rugged Conference-USA.
