WHEELING, W. Va (Oct. 30)- The Wheeling University Women's Soccer team hit the road for their final road trip of the 2021 season to Davis & Elkins. They return to Wheeling with an improved record after shutting out the Senators 3-0.
Wheeling's offense started the game strong, putting a marker on the scoreboard within 10 minutes of the opening kick.
