Fans Celebrate UC Soccer Championship

The University of Charleston’s NCAA Division II championship-winning men’s soccer team made an appearance at the Charleston Town Center Mall to meet with fans on Sunday. Players met with fans, signed autographs and took photos in center court. T-shirts and mini soccer balls were also given away. The Golden Eagles beat California State University 2-0 for the title in Pittsburgh on Dec. 14 for their second national championship. The University of Charleston’s men’s soccer team has reached the championship twice in the last three years. Also last week, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) passed a resolution celebrating the team.
