In an explosive season opener at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Thursday night, the No. 16 WVU men's soccer team surged to a 5-2 victory over Manhattan, scoring all five of its goals in the first 34 minutes of the match. The attack was led by transfer Pablo Pozos, who made a stunning debut with a first-half hat trick. He was complemented by Sun Belt Conference Preseason Player of the Year Marcus Caldeira, who contributed a goal and three assists, and a final tally from Ethan Dekel Daks that effectively sealed the win before halftime. Head coach Dan Stratford praised the performance, noting that a significant tactical change made late in the preseason paid off. The decisive first half allowed WVU to showcase its depth by utilizing numerous bench players ahead of their next home match against LaSalle on Monday.
