In action for the first time in the 2018 season, the Penn State women’s soccer team defended Jeffrey Field admirably on Friday night.

The Nittany Lions, ranked fourth in the country, saw off a tough West Virginia team, ranked No. 9, to pick up a 1-0 victory.

The two teams were scoreless for much of the contest, with the Mountaineers getting the better of the opportunities but failing to produce an end product.

In the 80th minute, sophomore Shea Moyer fired a shot from the top-right part of the 18-yard box across the goal to give the Nittany Lions the lead as well as the win.
