This past fall, West Liberty University’s football team had a goal; do what no team at WLU has ever done before. The Topper football program went to the playoffs, and were Nationally ranked for the first time in school history.
The Mens Basketball program picked up right were they the Football program left off.
While setting a school record with 19 straight wins, the Topper hoops team is now 24-1, and ranked #12 in the Nation. With a win this Saturday at Wheeling Jesuit, the Toppers can become Conference (WVIAC) Champs.
Wheeling Jesuit comes into the game riding a 3 game win streak, hosting a 17-8 record. Like the Toppers, the Cardinals feature an explosive offensive team. The Cardinals are coming off a 88-64 win against Salem that featured 8 dunks in the final 9 minutes by Cardinal players.
West Liberty will travel to Wheeling Jesuits McDonough Center for a 4pm Tip Off.
