The men’s soccer team officially reports to Morgantown on Wednesday, Aug. 8, to start preparing for the 2012 season.

The day will consist of various meetings with members from different parts of the athletic department, as well as a dinner catered by Oliverio’s in the Jerry West Room of the Coliseum.
