The Mountaineers compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) as members of the Big 12 Conference.

WVU plays its home games at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Since joining the Big 12 Conference, West Virginia women's soccer has won five straight outright regular-season championships, becoming the first program in league history to do so.

The Mountaineers' five regular-season league titles ranks first among current Big 12 members and second all-time in the conference's history (Texas A&M had 7).

The Mountaineers would restart that run following an early season loss to Virginia Tech, winning or drawing each of the next 16 games.

West Virginia posted an 8–1–1 record in non-conference play, opening the year with a 1–1 tie at defending national champion Penn State.
