August 26, 2012
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Frances Silva’s goal in the 83rd minute propelled West Virginia past No. 1 ranked Stanford, 1-0, Sunday afternoon at Jeffrey Field in game two of the Penn State Invitational. The win, the Mountaineers’ first over a nation’s top ranked team, snapped Stanford’s 64-match regular-season unbeaten streak.
“I’m so proud of this team,” said an emotional coach Nikki Izzo-Brown after the match. “It was a total team effort and they really stepped up, communicated well and believed in one another.
“We have so much respect for Stanford, and to be able to compete with them today was very encouraging. They get everyone’s best shot each time out, and fortunately, we were able to come away with a winning result.”
