The Concord Women’s Soccer team’s hopes of winning the WVIAC regular season championship suffered a setback early in the 2009 campaign.
On September 23, playing just their third conference match of the season, the Mountain Lions dropped a 2-1 overtime decision at Davis & Elkins.
The result helped propel the Senators to a perfect 10-0 league record – and the #1 seed in the conference tournament – while Concord finished 7-3 and the #4 seed.
CU and D&E meet again, in the conference semi-finals, Friday, November 6 in Elkins. Kickoff is set for 5:00 pm EST.
The winner of Friday's match advances to the WVIAC final, at the home field of the highest remaining seed.
Concord is off a 2-0 victory over Alderson-Broaddus in a first-round match Monday afternoon.
