“The experience and knowledge gained from our

international competitions have been instrumental

in our development as a team and for our program.

We were forced to adapt to many different styles and

speeds of play. It was a tremendous soccer experience

for everyone in our program. One of our goals was

to learn more about our team and we accomplished

just that.”

– coach Nikki Izzo-Brown

“I chose to play soccer at WVU because of my aspiration to be a part of one of the most competitive programs in the country. Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and her staff built an infant program into a top 10 power. The coaching staff’s charisma, tireless work ethic and captivating motivational speeches, combined with their demand for excellence, have generated widespread notoriety for their program among the college soccer scene and Mountaineer fans alike. My experiences as a West Virginia women’s soccer player has instilled in me the desire to succeed and be a leader in all of my life endeavors.” -Cathy Abel (2003-06)

“Making the decision to attend WVU was the easiest choice I’ve ever had to make. From the moment I stepped on campus, it felt like home. The university embraces all that is WVU, from academics to athletics. The soccer team was beginning to build a tradition of strength, integrity and pride, and I knew everything Coach Izzo-Brown reflected on her players was

the type of player I wanted to be. Not only does the WVU program instill the values of a strong soccer player, it also builds the foundation to a successful future outside of the collegiate athletics. To look back at my WVU career and know I played at the highest level I could is the most gratifying feeling a player could ever wish for. I miss my days at WVU, and will forever cherish the memories of the being a member of the women’s soccer program.”-Laura Finley (2000-03)

“You will learn more lessons in four years at WVU than you will learn for many years to come. These lessons learned cannot be taught in any classroom, but can only be experienced as a player in the women’s soccer program. I learned how to overcome weaknesses, both mentally and physically. As a co-captain who only started one game and scored only one goal (it was an awesome goal), I learned how to be an effective leader and influence those around me through hard work. Nikki Izzo-Brown is the glue of this program and she will cheer for you through the

best of times, but she’ll cheer even louder through the bad times. I cannot thank her enough for encouraging me and sticking with me throughout my Mountaineer career.” -Shawna Toth (1999-2002)

“My experience playing women’s soccer at West Virginia University was one that is very memorable and inspiring. As a member of the inaugural team, I look back and treasure the challenges I faced and the amazing opportunities throughout my four years. Not only was I able to capitalize on my skills at a high level of competition, I also learned a lot about myself from the leadership of coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. Overall, my experience is one I refer back to frequently in my everyday life as I continue on as a physical educator and soccer coach. I

am absolutely proud to be a Mountaineer.” -Rena (Lippa) Lindsay (1996-98)

“My career at West Virginia University was something far more than I had expected. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to play right away as a freshman and help be a part of something special for years to come. The coaching staff during my career played a large part in the success

I was able to achieve. The life lessons that were taught through the game of soccer, both on and off the field, will forever be the foundation that made me the player I was, and the person I am today.”-Katie Barnes (1998-2001)

Teams Izzo-Brown Has Beaten As WVU Head Coach


Family... The first aspect of my philosophy is family. I want to create an atmosphere at West Virginia where the ladies can come to me at any time about any problem they may be having. I ask the same of my assistant coaches. I ask that they work hard and do whatever is necessary to create a positive, family environment for our student-athletes.


Coaching Philosophy...

My approach, my philosophy, is that

you do everything right. If you’re

going to be the best soccer player,

the best friend, the best student or

the best daughter you can be, you

have to do it right. Whatever you do,

it has to be done with

100 percent commitment,

sacrifice and pride.

Motivation...

I’m always making sure that the

athlete is maximizing her potential.

I want to make certain that she

becomes the best player, the best

student and the best person we

both know she is capable of

becoming.


Dedication... Any student-athlete who commitsherself to West Virginia soccer, I commit myself to her. She gets 100 percent of my commitment. I’m going to be working hard for her, making sure that she has the best experience of her life while she is here because that is what college is all about.

Hard Work...

I firmly believe that when respect,

hard work and sacrifice are a

foundation, there will always be

success down the road. I tell my

girls that if they have a positive

attitude, respect each other and

work hard toward our team

goal, we’ll be successful.

FAVORITES

Favorite food ... anything edibleFavortie musician ... Young Jeezy, Bob MarleyFavorite movie ... FridayFavorite car ... White Knight Favorite athlete ... Brandon Barklage

FILL-INS

I would never be caught ...admitting my close friendship with Chelsey Corroto and Nicolette DeLaurentis.

My greatest on-field moment was ... beating Penn State at home to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

One coach Izzo-Brown saying I’ll never forget is ...“It is all mental.”

My pregame rituals include ...making fun of Blake Miller for coming to the locker room with her hair down, listening to rap with Trina, aka Mallory Smith, and discussing Morgan Betscher’s plan of attack on the game.

I chose WVU because ...of the tradition of hard work and building character.

QUOTE I ADMIRE
