MORGANTOWN, WV – The No. 16 West Virginia University (WVU) Men’s Soccer team secured a decisive 4-0 victory over La Salle University on Monday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, with senior forward Marcus Caldeira leading the charge. Caldeira netted his 30th and 31st career goals for WVU, including an impressive free-kick goal in the eighth minute.

“It felt amazing,” Caldeira said after the game, admitting he was aware he was approaching the milestone.

Head Coach Dan Stratford praised Caldeira’s performance and overall enthusiasm. “Marcus just looks like he’s enjoying himself,” Stratford commented, noting the player’s simplified approach to the game.

WVU’s success also stemmed from a renewed focus on set pieces. Stratford revealed the team dedicated time to improving this aspect of their game after their previous match. The team’s attention to detail was a marked improvement over Thursday’s performance, with better control of space and attention to detail, according to Stratford.

Looking ahead, WVU Men’s Soccer travels to FirstEnergy Stadium in Akron, Ohio, to take on the University of Akron Zips at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
