WVU Sports roundup: Ranked volleyball win and strong showings across the board
November 09, 2026
WVU Athletics delivered a busy weekend of results across multiple sports, highlighted by a signature ranked victory on the volleyball court. The Mountaineers also closed the fall golf season with a strong performance in Hawaii, competed in the pool against a power conference foe, and opened dual wrestling with a dominate shutout....
WVU Football (5-4, 2-4) dropped an epic clash against No. 15 Texas Tech in a 53-48 shootout Saturday. It ended in heartbreaking fashion, with the Mountaineers unable to preserve the touchdown lead they took into the fourth quarter. What has unfolded on social media regarding WVU's top player between fans and the star's family is not helping in an already uphill battle of keeping him in Morgantown.
The No. 1-seeded Mountaineers used an early goal from Pablo Pozos and three second-half scores to pull away from the Eagles. Pozos finished with two goals, while Juan Alvarez and Sammie Walker added scores of their own. West Virginia controlled much of the match offensively, finishing with a 12-4 advantage in shots and a 5-1 edge in shots on goal. The Mountaineers also received a strong performance from goalkeeper Toby Mawer, who recorded one save to secure the shutout.
