New administration wants to change SGA, improve productivity

BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR While campaigning to become the next Student Government Association administration, the Focus ticket ran on restructuring SGA so that it works for all students.

Enough students found their message compelling, earning the Focus ticket the presidency, vice presidency and a clean sweep by their senate candidates.

Kate Dye, a junior chemistry student from Clarksburg, and Madi Matheny, a sophomore studying international studies and environmental geoscience from Parkersburg, became the first all-female pair to take the role as SGA president and vice president.

Travis Rawson, a junior studying im-

munology and medical microbiology from Ravenswood, was elected as a senator and was recently elected as president pro tempore, or the highest ranking senator.

The three sat down with the DA for an interview Friday to discuss what issues the new administration will be working toward in the 2019-20 school year.

Restructuring SGA One of the first changes the administration made was simply reducing the number of executive committees by creating just five broad focus areas: safety, community engagement, inclusion, health and student experience.

“In the past, SGA has actually had an executive position for about 40 different things, every campus issue you could think of,” Dye said.

They said the smaller committee structure will increase productivity and

accountability.

The administration also plans to hold informal meetings separate from the weekly formal meetings on Wednesday, focused on these five areas and getting students working together.

“If we can break into these committees and actually get people collaborating, then we’re having more of a team atmosphere and getting things done,” Matheny said.

Dye said the current way executive committees report is not very productive and that they take away from meeting time.

There will also be two chiefs of staffs, one for managing internal affairs and one for managing external affairs. Dye said they made this decision to improve management issues in SGA and increase participation on campus.

A year in review: Former SGA president and vice president discuss their term

BY DOUGLAS SOULE EDITORINCHIEF Isaac Obioma and Abbi Yachini have stepped out of their roles as Student Government Association president and vice president, and they now prepare to take a step toward the graduation podium to accept their diplomas.

While both Obioma and Yachini plan to return to WVU, they acknowledge their time in SGA is over.

“I feel like I did my time, and I had my time,” Yachini said. “I did what I wanted to do, and I think it’s just time to pass on the baton.”

They said they’re willing to provide guidance and advice to future administrations.

Obioma said he’ll be interning at Thunder 11, a New York PR firm,

over the summer. Once summer is over, he’ll either extend his internship or work in Morgantown for a year before getting a masters in business administration at WVU. Yachini said she’ll begin graduate school at WVU in the fall, where she’ll be in the higher education administration program.

Obioma said watching the new president, Kate Dye, get sworn in lifted a weight from his shoulders.

“Generally, people have a harder time walking away if they didn’t accomplish what they wanted to accomplish,” Obioma said. “And I think that’s why [Abbi and I] feel pretty at peace about walking away.”

The former president and vice president pair said they’re optimistic about the future of SGA.

War relics of Sec. of Defense Louis Johnson Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson may not be well known today, but he and fellow lawyer Philip Steptoe founded one of the nation’s leading law firms, Steptoe & Johnson, in 1914. Soon after the founding, Johnson, a native of Virginia and a UVA graduate, took a leave from the firm to serve his country in World War I. He was sent to the Western Front in May 1918 where he participated in battles including the major Meuse-Argonne offensive where he wore the gas mask and dog tags, above. The inefficiency and incompetency of the Army coupled with the heroism of the troops had a lasting effect on Johnson.

After the war he played a key role in establishing the American Legion and served as its national commander in 1932-33. It was in that role that he was introduced to President Franklin Roosevelt who later appointed him Assistant Secretary of War. In between practicing law in Clarksburg, W.Va. and later Washington, D.C., Johnson also served in public roles including U.S. Representative to India and as

chair of the Finance Committee for Harry Truman’s presidential campaign. Truman named Johnson Secretary of Defense in 1949. Johnson supported Truman’s push to unify the military branches, action that set him at odds with military officials and cabinet members including Secretary of State Dean Acheson. When the Korean War broke out and the Soviet Union’s development of atomic capabilities became known, Johnson was blamed for the U.S. military’s lack of preparedness. Johnson resigned in 1950 and returned to building his law firm.

He died in 1966. The Veteran’s Administration Medical Center in Clarksburg was named in his honor.

African Night at WVU celebrates culture, heritage

BY QUEST BABCOCK STAFF WRITER The WVU African Student Association hosted African Night Saturday in the Mountainlair ballrooms in collaboration with the International Student Organization.

The event began with speeches from ASA President Dianne Techwei and ASA Advisor Tamba M’bayo. These speeches were followed by a music and dance ensemble.

The ensemble was presented by Michael Vercelli’s African drum and dance class.

The class performed Fume Fume, a music from Ghana.

“It’s fun to dance and connect the moves to the rhythm on the drums,” said Wesley Greer, a senior jazz student who performed Fume Fume.

Various African dishes were

SGA, cont. from p.1 “Our productivity has to go up, for sure,” Dye said. “You can’t be having events and changing policy and doing things on campus if the org’s not running inside.”

Dye said when you look at other Big 12 schools and their SGA administrations, they are larger, but function at a much higher level. She said the key to creating a more successful SGA here at WVU will be adding more voices to the process, but still keeping everyone in line.

“If you’re going to have a student government for a student body of 30,000 students, it has to be big. It needs to include as many students as possible; however, the more students that you get involved with, the less you’re able to manage the org, so that’s where we think management comes into play,” she said.

Dye said changing the culture of SGA was what they campaigned on, and now they have the resources and power to do so.

Changes on campus and new events A main priority for the Focus ticket and specifically Rawson

provided for dinner including puff puff, egg roll, fried rice and peri peri chicken livers.

“I just love the African culture,” said Daija Jackson, a freshman studying marketing.

While guests ate, several groups performed. Zainab Kabbia delivered a poem, a group performed a traditional Ethiopian dance, Eileen Eschobar sang and Nadia Techwei danced.

Damilola Fasinu, a design and merchandising graduate student, unveiled her clothing brand, Gbajumo Fashion, during a fashion show at the event.

Around 150 to 200 people attended the event. African nations represented by students included Ghana, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and South

was increasing mental health awareness on campus. First, they said the administration wants to improve access to therapists on campus.

Dye said the Carruth Center is heavily utilized by students, which has created scheduling and appointment issues. She said the Carruth Center is understaffed, and SGA is looking at reaching out to WVU Medicine and their professionals in order to have more available therapists for students.

Rawson campaigned on putting mental health days on the syllabi across campus. He said he has suffered from depression for the last four years, which sometimes affects his studies.

He said when people suffer from mental health issues, the last thing you feel like doing is going to class that day.

He added that because the idea of mental health days sound new and bold, he’s reached out to professors for their input.

“I sent out this mass email to 200-some professors, and this email essentially said, ‘Here’s the idea, what do you guys think about it, do you have any suggestions?” he said. “I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback, and I’m happy that probably a

Abednego Abdi, a sophomore studying education from Ethiopia, said he eventually wants “to go back to Ethiopia and to give back to the

community.” Abdi also spoke about the culture shock he faced when he began attending WVU and that events similar to this one can help students like him adjust.

Hosted by the African Student Association, African Night has become an annual event for University students.

fourth of the professors actually responded.”

He said while some other professors were not that receptive, especially the older professors, he’s been able to hold extended conversations with some to sharpen up the potential policy. He said he’s also meeting with the faculty of the biology department soon to discuss the possibility of implementing it in the future.

“Mental health is a priority because it plagues a lot of students,” Rawson said. “This is a new generation of students, and I feel like mental health, as each year goes on, is getting more destigmatized.”

“For courses to not have any make up policies for missed attendance points, I don’t think that’s fair,” he added.

Dye said every month, the administration wants to have a specific student issue to focus on.

She said August will likely be focused on sexual assault prevention due to its prevalence during this period of time.

“When you get back to the school year, that’s [when] the most cases and reports happen, during those first couple weeks,” Dye said.

They also want to hold

monthly town hall-style meetings, which are geared toward specific issues.

Dye said among other things, her administration is looking at the logistics of holding their weekly meetings on other campuses, handing out reflectors for students to place on their backpacks in hopes to improve pedestrian safety and increasing the amount of surveys emailed to students throughout the year to hear what issues students are concerned about.

To increase student participation in SGA, Dye said her administration hopes to hold multiple festival-like, campus-wide events. Two that she had in mind, she said, are a festival celebrating identity and a festival showcasing what students are working on that they are passionate about: arts, research, etc.

Election changes Starting next year, students will be able to vote in SGA elections online.

Matheny said the Obioma-Yachini administration were able to amend the SGA constitution to allow online voting in hopes to increase turnout and participation.

“The concern had to do with wording in our Constitution

about whether or not it was allowed or not, but we did change that so that next year we will definitely be able to have online voting,” Matheny said.

The amount of days of active campaigning will also increase to seven days, up from five days, starting next year.

They also said that the elections code has been tweaked in order to allow prospective candidates to speak about their platforms more freely before the designated active campaigning period.

The DA published an article last semester asking two pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates general questions about their platform, and a few days later they were charged with violating the election code by the elections committee.

Matheny said that the old elections process was frustrating for both SGA and for the student body.

That tweet On March 25 of last year, Rawson tweeted, “I never like to generalize a group of people but I think it’s safe to say that most Republicans are extremely idiotic, gullible, close-minded, ignorant, and sometimes evil people.”

The tweet received attention

before the election, and after the election, the Connect ticket reposted the screenshot of it after Rawson was elected as president pro tempore.

Rawson said this tweet was posted in the month following the Parkland shooting, and he was upset at the current state of our country.

“I know in the preface of the tweet it says, ‘I don’t want to generalize people,’ because I really wasn’t, I should have worded it better because I really wasn’t directing it to the group of Republicans, and matter of fact, at the time of the tweet, I was a registered Republican, my whole family are Republicans,” he said.

He said he doesn’t want this one incident to define his purpose in SGA, and that he’s working for all students, and that he invites any student who is upset by the tweet to talk to him about it.

“If I could go back I would definitely not tweet it,” he said, “because I’m not working just for certain types of students, I’m working for all students here.”

Matheny said at the end of the day, they are all students, and sometimes they make mistakes.

Review, cont. from p.1 “There’s a very, very young SGA right now, in terms of [the] Assembly, and I think that’s a good thing; it’s definitely going to give a fresh perspective,” Yachini said.

Obioma said critics throughout his year in office made him tougher.

“I think when I came into this, I was very concerned about what people thought of me, and I would let that affect how I interacted with people, how I did things, ” Obioma said.

“I’ve learned to look people in the eyes and challenge people,” he said. “And I think it’s made me better.”

Yachini said dealing with criticism strengthened her backbone, and both her and Obioma said the job had increased their patience.

When asked what was one of his most rewarding experiences as president, Obioma said that moment came several months ago, at a vigil for Leah Berhanu held a year after her death. Berhanu was a 21-year-old WVU civil engineering student who was struck and killed by a car on Feb. 1, 2018.

Obioma said Berhanu’s family members thanked him for the work he and SGA did to address pedestrian safety in

“In the moment, I didn’t know how to respond,” Obioma said. “That was a moment that just felt very pure, just really awesome, and it really gave me a lot of energy to keep going through the rest of the semester.”

Obioma said another proud moment came when people thanked him for his work to create a welcoming SGA environment.

Yachini said she was glad to see the diverse and welcoming environment and that she expects that environment to continue.

She said while she couldn’t point to a specific rewarding moment, “Seeing our administration, in every way, our Assembly, our executives, our interns, grow into exceptional leaders over the year was really incredible.”

“We just got to watch it happen,” Yachini said.

“It’s been an incredible honor,” Yachini said. “[I’m] so grateful [of all the support] we’ve received, and I’m even grateful for the criticism we’ve received, because it only made us stronger.”

She said she would cherish her year as vice president forever.

“The lessons I learned definitely changed me as a person,” she said.

Magic found at WVU’s Almost Heaven Quidditch Tournament

BY RACHEL JOHNSON

All about Quidditch:

ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR Quidditch teams from all around the area gathered at the Recreation Center fields on Saturday to participate in WVU’s Almost Heaven Quidditch Tournament. All proceeds from the tournament went to benefit Fairness West Virginia.

Groups from Pennsylvania and Ohio participated in Saturday’s tournament. Groups were divided up and put on teams with players from other schools. The atmosphere was casual and allowed people from different teams to intermingle.

Corey Williams, a junior criminology and international studies student from Lexington Park, Maryland, is president of the WVU quidditch team.

Williams said he became interested in quidditch because he was a fan of “Harry Potter” and wanted to find a way to stay active in college.

He said the people are his favorite part of the sport.

“We’re just here to have a good time and raise some money,” Williams said.

One aspect of quidditch that sets it apart from other sports is that players run

• Quidditch is a mixed gender contact sport • It consists of a unique mix of elements from rugby, dodgeball and tag • Each team is made up of seven athletes • Players have brooms between their legs at all times

Quidditch players from different universities that participated in the tournament. around holding broomsticks between their legs.

Williams said while riding a broomstick feels odd at first, he gets so concentrated on the game that he forgets the broomstick is there.

Haley Wilken, a junior majoring in recreation parks and tourism resources from Philadelphia, plays as a chaser and as a snitch. She said she enjoys playing quidditch because it allows her to be rough with people and be a nerd.

“It looked really fun and I’m really into ‘Harry Potter,’” Wilken said.

Wilken said she hoped the tournament would strengthen the quidditch community.

While quidditch season is done for this semester, anyone interested in joining next semester can get information on practice times from the WVU Quidditch Facebook page or email wvuquidditch@gmail.com.

• Each team consists of one seeker, one keeper, three beaters and two chasers • Balls used are a quaffle, bludger and a snitch • The object is for the chasers to score goals worth 10 points with the quaffle while the beaters try to knock people out with bludgers.

• The snitch is released after 18 minutes of gameplay at which point the seekers attempt to catch the snitch and end the game INFORMATION VIA OFFICIAL U.S. RULES OF QUIDDITCH

Math competition adds up the competitive heat

BY HANNAH MORGAN STAFF WRITER Scribbling frantically at the blackboard, young math elites from all over the state took turns solving complex math problems in front of a crowd while a two-minute timer ticked away.

Math competitors, both college and high school students, met in Armstrong Hall Thursday evening to compete in the final round of WVU’s 6th annual Integration Bee. Sixteen students were chosen in a written qualifier round that took place in March.

“There are two things I enjoy the most — good attendance and the finals where the competitors face off in pairs trying to solve integrals at the blackboard,” said Dr.

Charis Tsikkou, an associate math professor for WVU. The room where the competition took place was packed with competitors, supporters and onlookers. The math problems were projected onto a blackboard, waiting to be solved by one of the two students at the board. If neither of them solved it within the allotted time, another problem was given. Once the problem was solved, the quickest competitor stayed for the next round, safe from elimination.

“Participants seem to actually enjoy a math activity, and they are willing to spend 40 minutes at the qualifier and at least two hours at the finals to solve integrals, pushing their limits while standing in front of a crowd,” Tsikkou said.

- Dr. Charis Tsikkou, associate math professor tition is math major Matthew Richardson, 20, of Morgantown. He eliminated his competitors and took home a $100 bookstore gift card.

“It felt good to win, there are some very smart people at this competition,” Richardson said. “I’m just hoping I’ll be able to buy at least one textbook with the $100 bookstore

gift card that I got from it.”

Richardson explained how the Bee was fun, despite being a math competition.

“The best part about it is definitely the atmosphere of the whole thing. It’s very friendly and relaxed,” Richardson said. “If you get stuck, you can take tips from the people in the audience.”

Pizzas keeping warm at Blue Tomato, one of the food choices in the Mountainlair.

The problem with Blue Tomato

BY RYAN MAIDEN FOOD WRITER Following the selection of Sodexo, a French food services and facilities management company, to run WVU Dining Services at the beginning of 2018, the Mountainlair has been home to new restaurants such as Blue Tomato, Burgershop and Tres Habaneros. Has the lair been improved by their presence?

Since the new inclusions opened, it has become a trope amongst WVU students to harp on how terrible they are. Whether the discussion is about where to eat or where not to eat, the average student will choose something they know well over tahe dice-roll that they perceive Burgershop or Blue Tomato as.

As I talked to Heather Cochran, Sodexo retail manager for the Mountainlair, she explained the conundrum that the restaurants face.

“Well nobody likes change.

People become familiar with the chain brands and they know what they like there, so I would say that 50% of the kids say ‘Yah, let’s try something new and see how it is.’

And the other 50% sayy ‘No, no changes. I’m goingg to stick with what I know.’”

Reactions like ike this can’t xacerbated by help but be exacerbated the Chick-fil-a that separates the two establishments. ishments. y, and Come on any week day, perhaps even the weekends, nds, and you’ll find first-hand d evidence by the noticeable 300-person line for Chik and the ten-person line for either Blue Tomato or Burgershop.

Situations like these lend

themselves to explanations like Cochran’s.

One may ask then, what is being done by the University to increase interest in these fringe establishments?

A alot actually.

“We’re remaking ourselves every day.” Cochran said. “Just rolling out the new menu at the pizza shop, we realized that the students were missing the pastas and stromboli that they used to have at Sbarro, and we reacted to that and brought them back along with the pizza which we had been serving.”

Though the food can n be hit or miss, with my own favorite addition ition being Blue Tomato’s mato’s pepperoni stromboli, romboli, the new restaurants estaurants deed conare indeed tly changing stantly and nd adapting their menus and ingredients to reach new students. As I came to understand, the reason for choosing smaller establishments was to facilitate a dialogue between the student body and the food that is available to them. em.

OPINION Staff Shorts are tidbit writings by our editorial board. They’re mostly meant to be light-hearted, but we sometimes touch on more serious, important topics. They aim to express the many student voices of the University.

Shout out to WELLWVU Last month, the DA published a Staff Short titled “Don’t mix crosswalks and sex.”

The Staff Short argued that a sign that promoted sex positivity beside a crosswalk created a distraction for drivers who should be keeping their eyes on the crosswalk and close-by pedestrians. While sex positivity is a great thing, “sex” will draw stares at the exact time drivers should be at their most attentive.

The sign was created by WELLWVU. Within days, WELLWVU changed the sign and pointed it toward the pedestrians crossing the street, not the drivers preparing to drive over a crosswalk.

We appreciate WELLWVU’s quick action!

Don’t let your phone hold up traffic You shouldn’t be on your phone at all when you’re driving – even while waiting on a traffic light to turn green.

When you are, it leads to the inevitable attention lapse where you miss the red switch to green, and you hold up traffic for several seconds before you get beeped at from behind.

Since this happens with such frequency, those several seconds combine to amount to a good bit of time.

In Morgantown, where traffic gets backed up at the drop of a pin, those several seconds per traffic light create an additional annoyance for drivers likely already running late

Put it down and drive. I shouldn’t have to beep at you when the light turns green.

If you can buy alcohol, you shouldn’t be allowed at a high school prom Graduating from high school and then going back one year later to prom with your significant other is one thing, but being a 21 year old and going to a high school prom is just weird.

You could go to a bar, instead. You could go to dinner with your of-age girlfriend or friends, instead. Most high schools prevent 21 year olds from going to prom, for good reason. For those that dont: Why? People in their 20s should not be hanging out with 16, 17 or 18 year olds in a high school gym on those weekends in April. And what’s even worse, never should the 21 year old crashing a high school prom go to an after-party to hang out with people who can neither legally consume alcohol nor vote.

2019 quarterback competition: A battle of four

BY JARED SERRE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL New head coach Neal Brown will face one of his toughest first-year challenges as he tries to find the right quarterback to lead the West Virginia football team.

After two-year starter Will Grier departed for the NFL and Austin Kendall transferred to WVU from Oklahoma, the Mountaineers are facing a genuine quarterback battle for the first time since 2013.

Outside of Grier, the Mountaineers have not lost any other players at the quarterback position from last season.

In losing Grier, redshirt junior Jack Allison is the only quarterback currently on the roster that has previously started a game in the gold and blue.

THE CANDIDATES Austin Kendall, redshirt junior Kendall comes from the University of Oklahoma as a transfer. He is able to play immediately and has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Rated a four-star recruit by ESPN, Kendall stepped on to campus at Oklahoma after graduating from high school in 2016.

Kendall, who was a Sooner for three seasons, was redshirted during his second

season. In his two seasons eligible to see time on the field, he was buried on the depth chart behind Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray.

Although he only started one game during his Oklahoma tenure, Kendall saw playing time in four games, completing 28 of his 39 pass attempts. He threw for 265 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Jack Allison, redshirt junior The 2019 season will be Allison’s third season in Morgantown after sitting out due to transfer rules in 2017 and serving as Grier’s backup in 2018.

Like Kendall, Allison was also a four-star rated recruit

by ESPN for the class of 2016.

He initially enrolled at the University of Miami, where he was redshirted in his only season with the Hurricanes.

Despite seeing limited game action since coming to WVU, Allison is by far the most experienced of any quarterback on the roster.

During the 2018 season, Allison played in seven games and started the Camping World Bowl against Syracuse.

In his career, Allison has completed 23 passes over 45 attempts, totaling 352 yards. He has connected for one touchdown and two interceptions.

Trey Lowe, redshirt freshman A Tennessee native, Lowe

primarily spent the 2018 season as the third-stringer on the depth chart behind Grier and Allison. However, he did manage to see some time in the Camping World Bowl.

Lowe, a four-star recruit by ESPN, also plays on WVU’s baseball team as an outfielder.

Trent Jackson, redshirt freshman Jackson has never seen playing time for the Mountaineers. Jackson was named Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year.

COACHES’ THOUGHTS “Right now, we have the reps spread out,” offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Matt Moore said on April 2. “There are three guys that are even there, and until Coach Brown makes that decision on who the guy is going to be, and he gets 90 percent of the reps, we're probably not going to be at that position to where we want to be.”

“The good thing about, for instance, with [redshirt junior] Austin [Kendall] and [redshirt junior] Jack [Allison], they're both catching on to the concepts really, really well,” quarterbacks coach Sean Reagan said on April 2. “Now, being able to do it on paper and on the board is one thing. We just have to carry that on to the field and be consistent at executing it in a live, 11-on-11 situation.“

Strowd impressive in 4-2 series-clinching victory over Oklahoma State Sunday

BY QUINN BURKITT STAFF WRITER

BASEBALL The West Virginia baseball team picked up its second series victory of the season on Sunday afternoon, beating Oklahoma State by 4-2.

In what was a pitchers’ duel on both sides, West Virginia (19-12, 4-5 Big 12) righthander Kade Strowd notched a career-high 10 strikeouts to go along with two earned runs and four hits allowed through 7 1/3 innings of work.

Oklahoma State (1911, 6-3) right-hander Brett Standlee was only able to record one out in the first in-

ning before the Mountaineers jumped on the board.

Following a Brandon White walk, Darius Hill doubled down the right field line to drive in White for the 1-0 Mountaineer advantage.

Oklahoma State responded quickly and doubled its lead over West Virginia as Colin Simpson smashed a two-run home run to center field to give the Cowboys the 2-1 advantage in the bottom half of the first.

The two-run rocket in the first inning would be the only runs that the Cowboys would scratch across the plate as they could only muster up four hits on the day.

Standlee was dominant on the day while allowing only four hits and one earned run,

as well as whiffing five batters through six innings of work.

It took seven innings for West Virginia to post any runs on the board again until a Paul McIntosh single into left field plated Hill for the 2-2 knotted score in the top of the eighth inning.

The run was credited to Oklahoma State right-hander Peyton Battenfield, who allowed the earned run as well as two hits through only 1 1/3 innings.

One pitching change and three batters later, OSU’s Logan Gragg walked TJ Lake with the bases loaded to bring home Phillip Dull and give WVU a 3-2 lead over the Pokes.

The ninth inning saw Hill put the game away for West

West Virginia drops contest to No. 14 Kansas

Virginia with a single to right field which scored White and sent the Mountaineers home with the 4-2 series clinching victory.

Right-hander Sam Kessler closed the game out for the Mountaineers on the mound with a dominant 1 1/3 innings of shutout pitching in the midst of striking out three Cowboys, holding the team hitless.

The Mountaineers will travel to the D.C. metro area to take on the Maryland Terrapins in a mid-week matchup Wednesday at 4 p.m.

TENNIS The WVU tennis team lost at No. 14 Kansas on Sunday, 6-1.

In the doubles matches, WVU’s Sofia Duran and Anastasia Bovolskaia were defeated

by KU’s Janet Koch and Nina Khmelnitckaia 0-6. In the second matchup, Mountaineers Paula Goetz and Nicole Roc lost to Jayhawks Anastasia Rychagova and Sonia Smagina, 2-6, resulting in Kansas jumping out to a 1-0 lead.

In the singles portion, the Mountaineers (10-9, 0-7 Big 12) were no match for the Jayhawks (15-4, 6-2).

In the first matchup, Chris-

tina Jordan fell to Janet Koch 3-6, 2-6. Duran lost to Ploburg Plipuech 1-6, 3-6 in the second.

Goetz lost to Sonia Smagina in a close 3-6, 6-7 matchup in the third. Bovolskaia fought hard against Khmelnitckaia 2-6, 6-3, 9-11.

The Mountaineers’ lone point of the weekend came in the fifth matchup when Roc battled Maria Toran Ribes, taking the game to three sets in an eventual 6-7, 7-6, 10-4 victory.

In the final match of the afternoon, Giovanna Caputo was defeated by the Jayhawks’ Malkia Ngounoue, 3-6.

The loss concludes the Mountaineers’ final roadtrip of the season, also dropping a 7-0 match to Kansas State on Friday. West Virginia will look to get back on track at home against Baylor on Friday.

The Mountaineers finish behind UNC Greensboro and Ohio State at the Irish Creek Collegiate.

WVU finishes sixth at Irish Creek Collegiate GOLF

BY CHARLES MONTGOMERY STAFF WRITER The Mountaineers finished in sixth place in Kannapolis, North Carolina, in the Cabarrus County Irish Creek Collegiate over the weekend.

Matthew Sharpstene led West Virginia, finishing in the top 10 for the third time this season. Sharpstene finished with a 54-hole total of 209.

Etienne Papineau and Phillip Matlari finished tied for 28th place at one-over par. Max Sear had three birdies in the third round to highlight his tournament as he finished in 34th place.

UNC Greensboro won the tournament, finishing 18 under par, while Ohio State finished second and Kansas fin-

ished third.

“We didn’t have our best stuff this week, yet we got some solid rounds today,” WVU head coach Sean Covich said. “[Sharpstene] continues to play at a high level. That kid will be special by the end of his career.

Philly and Pap played a lot of good golf this week, and I’m proud of them. Max is so close to putting it together.

I have a feeling he’ll peak at the right time for us,” Covich said.

West Virginia wraps up the season next week at Penn State in the Rutherford Collegiate on April 13 and 14. This will be an excellent tune-up for the Mountaineers as they will participate in the Big 12 Championship on April 2628 in White Sulphur Springs.
