The West Virginia U. women’s soccer team dropped its second and final exhibition 2-0 to Wake Forest U. Saturday.

After a scoreless first half, the Demon Deacons scored twice in the second half. Wake Forest forward Katie Stengel scored on a through ball up the middle of the WVU defense. Midfielder Bianca D’Agostino added a second goal off a penalty kick.

“Today was another step in preparing this team for the start of the season,” said coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a release. “We again saw some areas where we need to improve before Friday’s season opener.”

The Mountaineers open the 2010 season at home on Friday, Aug. 20, against Penn State at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
