According to Chard, he now has won 16 state championships in his athletic career. He’s won the titles in kayaking, football, cyclocross, canoeing, volleyball and snowshoe racing.

Women’s soccer ties no. 12 West Virginia

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — The Wright State women’s soccer team kicked off its 2015 exhibition schedule with a 2-2 tie Sunday at no. 12-ranked West Virginia.

The Raiders led at halftime 1-0 on a 15-foot header by sophomore Ellie Ganz’s goal, from a Stevee Hazel cross. The Mountaineeers tied the game early in the second half, but WSU went back up 2-1 with 13 minutes to go.

Wright State’s second goal came from an Aaliyah Patten break away goal off a Bryce Hueber pass. West Virginia tied the game with about eight minutes remaining with a world-class shot from within the box.

“It’s early and you can only take so much from an exhibition at this stage,” WSU head coach Patrick Ferguson said. “However, I was very pleased with the effort and grit today from all of our players. We were able to get 25 players into the game. We also did a very good job of applying what we’ve been working on in training.”

The Raiders will continue exhibition play at noon Tuesday at Ohio University, and will host Eastern Kentucky at 6 p.m. next Sunday. The regular season will open Aug. 21 at Louisville.
