Students have big plans for summer break BY ALI BARRETT NEWS EDITOR Starting May 4, Mountaineers will be headed off in all directions to pursue their summer vacations, jobs and internships and other fun plans. We talked to several students about their plans for the summer. Here is what they said: Ilse Turner, a junior international studies and political science student from Virginia Beach, Va., said, “I got a really amazing opportunity; I got accepted to study at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan this summer,” Turner said. Turner will be spending a month in Japan to study the Japanese language, culture and political science. “When I’m not in Japan, I run a summer camp for adults and children with physical and intellectual disabilities,” Turner said.
The camp is called Camp Horizon and is in Norfolk, Va. Aurora Beth Harper, a senior criminology student from Ivanhoe, Va.said she planned to go back to her hometown to work at a historical mansion, called Fort Chiswell Mansion. “I’m [also] going to the beach three or four times,” Harper said. She also plans to go to New York for a week. Ally Supple, a freshman journalism student from Barberton, Ohio, said, “I’m going back home for the summer and working at a local restaurant that I worked at before I came to college,” Supple said. Supple said she had two big plans: Going to a Logic concert and traveling to Myrtle Beach with her boyfriend’s family. Supple said she’d never gone to Myrtle Beach before, so she was “really excited.” Jocee Chapman, a junior geology student
“I got a really amazing opportunity; I got accepted to study at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan this summer.” - Ilse Turner, junior international studies student from Elkview, W.Va., said, “I might be going to the beach with my boyfriend and probably camping a few times with my family,” said Chapman. “My family usually goes to this place in Burnsville, like you take a camper there and everything, but we recently sold our camper,” Chapman said. Because of this, Chapman said her family is considering a stay in a Greenbrier cabin. Chapman said she also plans to work at Wendy’s this summer. Bryon Querrey, a senior marketing student from
Ripley, W.Va., said had to take a class over the summer, but was also hoping to get a job. “I had an internship over the spring, and they offered me a job at the beginning of summer,” Querrey said. He work involved marketing campaigns and video work for Morgantown businesses. “I think it’s cool making something that people will enjoy,” Querrey said. Querrey said he may be going on vacation, but his main goal was making money.

People celebrate 4/20 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
4/20 no impact on crime among students at WVU BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Despite 4/20’s promotion of “blazing it”, WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts said there was no notable increase in marijuana-related crime. On April 20, UPD dealt with only two reports of the smell of marijuana. These two reports came from Bennett Tower and Seneca Hall, according to the WVU
crime log. These reports were unfounded. Asked about whether there were extra patrols on April 20 to find marijuana activity, Roberts said, “That’s not a thing that we see as an issue,” Roberts said. “It’s an issue, but not not a major issue,” Roberts said. “It’s not a violent crime and you typically don’t have a victim in those kinds of issues to deal with.” Roberts said that possession of marijuana in small amounts was a misdemeanor crime that was dealt with like alcohol [pos-
“It’s not a violent crime and you typically don’t have a victim in those kinds of issues to deal with.” - Bob Roberts, Police Chief session]: With a citation. “That could change if it’s a large amount or if you have paraphernalia that makes us think you’re selling it,” roberts said. In this case, one may face more serious legal consequences. Roberts said students should
be careful about who they buy marijuana from. “I think from a safety standpoint, you just need to know what you’re buying and the dangers of getting some kind of mixture that has chemicals in it that may really cause harm to you,” Roberts said.
DID YOU KNOW?
“Drug sales or intent to sell within one thousand feet of a school is a violation of federal law, as well as state law. Every year, we make a number of arrests in the residence halls for drug possession and occasionally for distributing. Most offenses involve the use of marijuana. The smoking of marijuana in the residence hall is easily detected and is reported. This may result in your being arrested and removed from your housing. Why take the risk?” - police.wvu.edu

With more than 1,000 recycle bins on WVU Morgantown campuses, the University gathered 1,455 tons of recyclable items in 2017, according to the WVU Office of Sustainability. This was down from 2016’s 1,644 tons, but, according to the Office of Sustainability, these numbers are expected to stabilize. Also, in 2017, the office reports that WVU gathered 3,281 tons of landfill waste. In recent years, WVU upgraded to single-stream recycling, a method in which all recyclables are mixed in the containers and later sorted at the facilities. “Recycling has been on campus in some shape or form since the 1970s,” said Traci Knabenshue, director of the Office of Sustainability. “The modern recycling program as we see it today became much more robust starting around 2004.” Since the implementation of single-stream recycling, WVU has seen a 60 percent increase in recycling tonnage, according to the Office of Sustainability’s website.
According to the Office of Sustainability, WVU’s recyclable materials are picked up five times a week by Republic Services and taken to the local Mountaineer Transfer Station in Westover. From there, the materials are taken to Greenstar Materials Recovery Facility outside of Pittsburgh. The facility sorts, bales and sells the materials to wholesalers that turn the materials into other products. According to the Office of Sustainability, WVU has coordinated efforts with Monongalia County and the City of Morgantown to run off-campus drop-off stations in the Monongalia county area. Recyclables can be dropped off the first four Saturdays of every month from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Walmart onGrafton Road or they can be taken to the Westover Recycling Center Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Common recyclables include paper, plastics, glass and cardboard. Additional bins are located on campus for uncommon recyclables such as metal, ink cartridges, batteries and electronics.

Philly Pretzel Factory prepares for National Pretzel Day BY JULIA HILLMAN ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR Thursday, April 26, is National Pretzel day, and the Philly Pretzel Factory is ready to celebrate. Kendon Spering and her mother opened Philly Pretzel Factory at Suncrest Town Center in late March. Ever since opening, the shop has been a popular destination for people to get hot, mouth-watering pretzels.
The shop offers everything from classic pretzels to specialities like their pretzel dog and pepperoni pretzel melt. The pretzels here aren’t like an average soft pretzel, though. “They’re fresh and hot of the oven,” Spering said. “They are literally cooked to perfection.” Being from New Jersey, one would not guess off the bat that Spering would have gone into making Philly-style pretzels. Her love for the delicious treats comes from eating them her entire life.
Most people would not consider opening a shop for a Philadelphia-style food in a city that is hours away from the origin. Spering attended West Virginia University and loved Morgantown so much that she just could not leave. “I really want to help the economy and create some roots here,” Spering said. While the shop offers a plethora of different kinds of pretzels, the Philly Cheesesteak has been their top seller since opening.
“Philly is known for their cheesesteaks and pretzels, so the combination is mind blowing,” Spering said. Spering didn’t just learn how to twist a pretzel overnight. For some the process of learning how to twist takes weeks. “Unlike other soft pretzels, ours are shaped like an infinity sign so it takes a while to get that motion down,” Spering said. On Thursday, the shop will be giving the first 150 people

The Wrecks soak up the sun, and talk aboutthe past, present and future BY JULIA HILLMAN ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR After back-to-back tours, releasing an EP and traveling from coast-to-coast and back a few times, The Wrecks found their way to Mainstage on a nice spring-like Sunday on April 22. The band is currently opening for the Maine on their “Fry your Brain with the Maine” tour. The band has been on a non-stop touring cycle for about a year now, as they opened for All Time Low last summer and went straight to their first headlining tour after that. After taking some time off for the holidays, they came back swinging and opened for New Politics on their massive North American tour and are

tour with All Time Low helped us out so much. Everything changed for us after that, and we are so thankful for everyone who attended that tour, those who still support us and
of course All Time Low.” The Maine tour has been a little different for the Wrecks as it has hit a lot of cities, like Morgantown, that the band doesn’t always get the chance to play. For them, though, the experience has been nothing short of humbling. “We’re hoping that by playing these twenty or so cities on this tour that were growing the family a bit out on the road and that we can come back out on a headlining tour and play bigger rooms and sell out bigger shows,” said Nick Anderson, the frontman for the Wrecks. While these shows may have been mostly in cities that the band has never been to before, the band has seen quite a few familiar faces on this tour.
For some of the people in line for the Morgantown show, this was their 20th time seeing the band in just the last year. “Having a fanbase like ours is kind of everything you want as a band. It feels good that there’s a community around what our band does and were all just growing this thing together,” Anderson said. After wrapping up this tour, the band will spend the summer playing festivals, doing a few headlining shows and working on their upcoming album. “We’re definitely not ever taking time off,” Anderson said. While the band has made no promises, fans can expect to hear a single or two off the new album later this fall.
National Pretzel Day is bigger than anything that they have done before. The shop opens at 10 a.m. Thursday, so make sure to get there early to try and get this special card.

OPINION
#SaveStudentNewsrooms: the importance of student media BY KAMERON DUNCAN OPINION EDITOR It’s often said that college campuses are places where ideas can be shared and discussed in many different ways. After all, how many places offer the combination of thousands of individuals with many different viewpoints and life experiences? Colleges and universities offer students the opportunity to learn with one another, but perhaps more importantly they offer students the opportunity to learn from one another. Someone who grew up in a large, sprawling city can gain a completely different perspective on the same issue or issues from someone who lived in a more rural location during their formative years. The sharing of ideas, viewpoints and opinions can also extend to what college students consume, and a large part of that is student media. Student newspapers, radio stations and other outlets are ways for the campus as a whole to gain different perspectives. For example, if a student newspaper can allow those from diverse backgrounds and situations to write for them, they can show how various areas of that campus see those issues. Someone who grew up in a state and attends a public university within that state will likely see an issue differently from someone who is from a completely different country altogether. The relevance of student media has recently come up in the news and on social media with the emergence of

Washington Square News fashion blog editor Amanda Burkett checks images on her camera while working on deadline at the independent, student-run newspaper in New York. the #SaveStudentNewsrooms hashtag. The hashtag was created by students at the University of Florida, namely those who operate the independent newspaper The Florida Alligator. Their activism was spawned by Southern Methodist University’s decision to re-affiliate with the university in an online-only capacity, according to ABC News. Budget cuts and decreases in funding have severely af-
fected college newspapers in recent years, somewhat coinciding with the emergence of both social media and an increasing reliance on technology for news. The College Media Association conducted a survey last year and found some alarming statistics to support this trend. The CMA found that 30 percent of its members were forced to reduce the amount of papers they printed in an effort to save money, and
around 20 percent reported an expected loss of between 10-20 percent of their advertising revenue. The situation that college newspapers in particular face is somewhat bleak, but that in no way means that they should be given up on or cast aside. Many of our great writers, editors and others who work in media honed their craft at their college paper. They were able to make connections and friendships that lasted
long beyond their time in the newsroom. Losing the college newsroom would mean losing a bridge to potential employment and important networking opportunities for media majors across the country. This could prove to be extremely catastrophic at a time when media is undergoing a very drastic change. To reiterate, student media is important for a number of reasons, but perhaps

more than anything else it is an outlet for students to have their voices heard on campus, as well as for them to report on what matters to the student body as a whole. No one knows college campuses better and more intricately than the students who live on them, and depriving them of the opportunity to chronicle their college journeys due to funding deemed more appropriate elsewhere would be a massive oversight.

Super Meat Boy is a high-intensity, stressful game that may help you keep your mind off of finals when you’re needing a break from studying.
How to stay sane during finals with video games Finals week of college is notorious for its tendency to be among the most hair-pulling, panic attack-inducing and momentary lapse in sanity producing experiences in a student’s life. It’s one of the few times where public meltdowns are not only accepted but expected. Spend a couple hours in the WVU library and you’re likely to see at least one poor soul crying into a pile of organic chemistry books. The stress of the situation makes at least one thing clear; if you don’t find a way to unwind, you’re going to go absolutely bonkers. Escapism is a great tool for getting away from those seemingly incomprehensive study guides for a while. Some people read, others watch movies, but I’ve found nothing works better than a video game. Unlike films or novels, video games demand your absolute attention. It’s pretty easy to let your mind venture to your troubles while flipping
your own attacks back. It’s the perfect game for when your brains to fried from studying to actually think, but you still need a way to unwind.

Playing Sims during finals week may give students some feeling of control, even if it isn’t of their own life. through pages of a book, or half-heartedly watching the latest “Die Hard” movie on cable. Video games, which require hand eye coordination and continuous input to progress, are much harder to zone out too. So if you’re finding yourself overwhelmed this finals week, here are some go to games to help take your mind off things (at least for a little
while. Please don’t flunk your physics exam because you spent the whole night before playing Halo). Devil May Cry Known as a “hack and slash” game, Devil May Cry has you doing just that; hacking and slashing. Starring the demon hunter Dante players, armed with a massive sword, duel revolvers, and a litany of
spells, are tasked with taking on the armies of hell. With huge ways of demons, zombies and other ghoulies in between you and victory, it’s up to the player to furiously mash the attack button and slaughter every evil being in your path. Hack and slash games are pretty mindless fun; most gameplay consists of dodging attacks and throwing
Super Meat Boy While a few years old at this point, Super Meat Boy remains one of the most insanely difficult games on the market. A platformer where players take the role of an anthropomorphic chunk of meat, Meat Boy is not for the weak hearted. As you jump from wall to wall, dodging giant rotating saws, lasers and every obstacle in between you can expect to die. A LOT. Aggravating as it might sound, the repetition that is inherent with Meat Boy style games can be a great tool to help brush away problems. The difficulty sucks you in, blocking out the real-world issues that might be plaguing you. Don’t play this one if you have a temper though; neither your studies nor your
stress level will be improved by throwing your laptop out a window. The Sims I’ve talked about The Sims before in a previous column, but as far as stress relief goes I can’t stress this series enough. While college can make you feel like your life is out of your hands, The Sims gives you the luxury of complete control. You want your fictional family to become astronauts? You can be at the press of a button, with no need for Olympic levels of athleticism or a Mensa IQ. A lot of time life can be pretty nuts, and having clean, simple fun to turn too can be a great sense of calm in the storm. So step back and take a breath. Like all things finales week will come to pass. And then you can play Sims the whole darn summer if you want too.

Looking at West Virginia’s unique weekend rotation alongside 22 strikeouts and seven walks. Although Mazey did not announce last Sunday’s starter, when Zarbisky got the call, leading up to the weekend, it is hard to see the uber talented Zarbnisky losing his spot in the rotation.
BY CHRIS JACKSON MANAGING EDITOR West Virginia’s weekend rotation has constantly been in flux recently. With injuries to two starters — Conner Dotson and Michael Grove, who went a combined 6-4 last season and compiled ERA’s of 5.53 and 2.87 — that already created a tricky situation for WVU head coach Randy Mazey. Who would fill in? Who would be the ace and start Friday’s? Who would start Saturday’s and Sunday’s? On paper, the logical choice appeared to be sophomore Alek Manoah for the Friday slot. He has received nothing but high praise since he signed his National Letter of Intent to become a Mountaineer, and for good reason. A look at Alek Manoah: Manoah was an Under Armour All_American at South Dade Senior High School in Florida, tabbed as the No. 11 recruit in the state and the No. 82 nationally by Perfect Game. “Alek is two-way guy from Miami that has the chance to be one of the best players to ever play at West Virginia as both a pitcher and a hitter,” Mazey said after Manoah’s signing. “He has tremendous arm strength and a great feel for pitching but is also a tremendous hitter with tremendous power.” During his freshman season, Manoah showed those flashes Mazey hinted at. He finished with a 3.07 ERA as he started 10 games en route to an Big 12 All-Freshman Team selection. Perfect decision for the Friday start, right? But Manoah’s numbers have dipped. He’s in a “sophomore slump,” something typically referred to when professional athletes that are in their second season after shining as rookies. He has a 5.30 ERA to go alongside 25 walks, 37 strikeouts and a 2-5 record. In addition to those numbers, he has lasted more than 4.2 innings just once. His last start: April 6 versus UNLV, when he surrendered four hits, five runs (one earned), two walks, three strikeouts and threw only 43 pitches. Since then, Manoah has come out of the bullpen and has not started each of the past two Friday’s. Two of those appearances have been dicey, allowing two earned runs in two innings against Oklahoma State on April 14

The other two appearances were impressive, by not allowing a run in one inning against Canisius and not allowing a run in three innings versus Marshall. Maybe Manoah is better off as a reliever for the mo-
ment. Sometimes pitchers are meant more to be relievers than starters, and becoming a reliable reliever would not hurt his professional baseball aspirations. Manoah has shown plenty of promise, as evidenced by his high school rankings and notable freshman campaign at WVU. He throws hard — 94-95 miles per hour — and has a large frame at 6-foot-6
and 260 pounds, which are both traits MLB scouts love and things that are an advantage to him when facing opponents at this level. Who are the weekend mainstays? R i g ht n ow , s o p h o more Kade Strowd and junior Braden Zarbnisky appear to be the penciled-in weekend starters.
Strowd started nine games this season and was the routine guy for Saturday’s. He boasts a 4-3 record with 46 strikeouts and 26 balls, while opponents are hitting .235 off him. The last two starts have been solid for Strowd, allowing a combined three runs and striking out 17 in 10.2 innings on the mound. The latest against Kansas State last Saturday was especially impressive. There were seven walks, though, a problem Mazey and Strowd both cited following the win. But Strowd tossed a shutout in 5.2 innings, conceding two hits and recording seven strikeouts. “It’s hard for a hitter to get comfortable against him because you never know when the strike is coming,” Mazey said. “He does a good job of being effectively wild.” Zarbnisky — a Preseason All-American — has been the guy on Sunday in two of the four Big 12 series. His latest outing saw him last just 53 pitches and four innings in a 7-4 loss to Kansas State, but that does not take away from his overall successes this year. Zarbnisky is 2-2 with a 3.76 ERA — the second-best ERA among WVU players that started at least four games —
Who takes Manoah’s spot to join the weekend rotation? With Manoah not starting the past two Friday’s, Mazey saw up-and-down performances in that position. Senior Shane Ennis started April 13 against Oklahoma State and did not last long. He went three innings and threw 78 pitches as the Cowboys scored four earned runs, notched three hits and drew four walks. It was evident that Ennis, who was making his first start since 2015, was fatigued as the evening wore on. His 78 pitches far surpassed his previous season-high of 49, and by the time he hit pitch No. 50, his command suffered. Mazey went to senior B.J. Myers last Friday versus Kansas State, and that judgment yielded some positive results and could lead to more weekend starts down the road. Myers tossed a season-high 107 pitches in six innings, giving up five hits, three earned runs and five balks, striking out six. One player that proved his worth and potentially earned his way into the weekend mix is sophomore Isaiah Kearns. Although Tuesday’s effort in the 13-10 win over Marshall was rough, his other performances have certainly helped his push towards a potential weekend start, if Mazey does choose to go that way in the not-too-distant future. Here are the final lines from Kearns’ two midweek outings before the Marshall contest Tuesday: •April 18 vs. Canisius: 4.0 innings, 5 hits, 2 earned runs, 1 walk, 8 strikeouts, 76 pitches •April 11 vs. Pitt: 5.0 innings, 2 hits, 0 earned runs, 3 walks, 8 strikeouts, season-high 89 pitches Mazey and the Mountaineers have options to fill out the weekend rotation. This dilemma likely would not have arose — or would have had a smaller chance of it occurring — if not for the injuries to Dotson and Grove. Now, it’s time to see who Mazey goes to during the final month of the regular season.

Transfers give WVU women new-look lineup for 2019 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BY JOE SEVERINO SPORTS WRITER WVU women’s basketball coach Mike Carey will not struggle to find talent on his roster this summer, and he will have one of the country’s most intriguing lineups for 2019. Carey made a splash in early April after landing two former McDonald’s All-Americans, Bianca Cuevas-Moore and De’Janae Boykin, by way of transfer. Cuevas-Moore started at point guard for South Carolina when the Gamecocks won the National Championship in 2017. Carey won’t have trouble finding five players good enough to go in the lineup. After graduation, only forward Teana Muldrow and point guard Chania Ray’s spots need to be filled. What remains to be seen is how Carey will adjust the starting lineup. If healthy, Cuevas-Moore will probably have the starting point guard spot locked up this summer. However, WVU is loaded at the two-guard. The Mountaineers have Katrina Pardee, the starter from last season, former Big 12 Tournament MVP Tynice Martin return-

for playing time. Martin, who would’ve been WVU’s leading returning scorer had she been
healthy this season, will be in the starting lineup. Whether it’s at shooting guard or small forward will be up to Carey.
Boykin will be playing in the three or four spot for the Mountaineers alongside Naomi Davenport, who is re-
turning for her senior season. Kristina King started at the five for WVU last season, and will remain there unless 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman Krystaline McCune has a breakout season. But regardless of who starts and who doesn’t, one thing will be much different than last year; WVU will have depth. Last season, the Mountaineers relied significantly on the starting five and only received minor contributions from a couple bench players. But in 2018-2019, WVU will have the ability to go 10 or 11-deep into their bench. The Mountaineers will have the luxury of forwards Destiny Harden, Anja Martin and Theresa Ekhelar and guard Nia Staples contributing off the bench. Another major difference will be the health of the players. Tynice Martin, Cuevas-Moore and Anja Martin all missed last season due to injury and are expected to be ready to go by the beginning of fall. Here is a holistic look at WVU’s potential depth chart for next season: Guard: Cuevas-Moore, T. Martin, Pardee, Gondrezick, Rudd, Staples Forward: Davenport, Boykin, A. Martin, Harden Center: King, Ekhelar, McCune
Reed College of Media to bring new opportunities for sports journalists BY JOHN LOWE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Starting with the Fall 2018 semester, West Virginia University will offer a new degree program. The Sports and Adventure Media major is a blended program between the Reed College of Media and the College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences. The program will be the only one of its kind in the country. This program replaces the long standing tradition of aspiring sports reporters majoring in journalism and minoring in sports communication. “We have an expertise in media communications in the College of Media,”said Reed College of Media Dean Maryanne Reed. “We also teach sports journalism. But we felt that the students in this new major would need to have a grounding in the sports and adventure aspects of the discipline.” Emily Corio, a professor at

WVU News reporter Joel Norman reports from the sideline of WVU’s wrestling match against South Dakota State. the Reed College of Media, has spearheaded the effort to add this major to the University’s curriculum. “We’ve gotten a lot of requests from students who are
interested in sports classes and a sports program,” Corio said. “We feel there is definitely student demand and students are interested in this.”
The degree program will consist of 31-37 credit hours of General Education credits, 21 external major credits (including economics, marketing and statistics), 19 College
of Media credits, 15 CPASS credits and 17 credits dealing with the student’s area of emphasis (sports of adventure). No minor will be required. In the Sports Area of Emphasis, students will take classes teaching media relations in the sports industry, producing live sports and a capstone focusing on sports video production. Outgoing senior Ryan Decker was one of many student leaders in sports media asked to contribute ideas to the Reed College of Media on the new major. “I think (the new major) give incoming students more of an ability to get hands on experience inside the classroom, whereas before you have to go outside the classroom to learn a lot of the things when it comes to covering sports at the collegiate level here at WVU,” Decker said. In the Adventure Area of Emphasis, students will have to take classes in travel writing, branded content and two classes emphasizing the ad-
venture skills that they would be covering. “For the Adventure media piece, West Virginia’s a great place to have a program on adventure sports media,” Corio said. “We have world class whitewater rafting, we have mountain biking, we have rock climbing that people drive from all over the East to actually come and rock climb here in Morgantown, out at Cooper’s Rock, so it’s a great place to offer a program like that.” S o p h o m o re student Noah Clune will switch to the Adventure Media major next semester after taking Corio’s class. “I grew up in kind of an adventure background, going camping,” Clune said. “I biked since I was a little kid. I fell in love with broadcasting and camera work when I was in high school. So combining those two things is really what drove me to join it and seek it out. I wouldn’t be satisfied with sitting in the newsroom every day, I’d rather be hanging off the side of a mountain.”

Flynn hire brings high expectations for WVU wrestling program WRESTLING
WVU looks to avenge earlier loss to TCU TENNIS
BY JULIA MELLETT SPORTS WRITER On April 18, West Virginia Director of Athletics Shane Lyons announced Tim Flynn as the ninth head coach of the WVU wrestling team. Lyons called the former Edinboro head coach “a home run hire.” At Edinboro, Flynn collected a 223-95-5 record through 21 seasons with the Fighting Scots. In those 21 seasons, Flynn produced three national champions and 38 All-Americans. In addition, Flynn became Edinboro’s alltime winningest coach and a member of its Hall of Fame. “I’m thrilled that both Cliff and Mitchell decided to join me here in Morgantown,” Flynn said. “It’s nice when you start a big project that you have people that you can trust as well as people that you believe in. That means a lot to me, and I think it is going to help our program tremendously.” In a conference as well known for wrestling talent as the Big 12 is, all 11 teams and affiliates need to be the best. At the 2018 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Cleveland, Ohio, last season, South Dakota State claimed 12th, Oklahoma State tied for 13th and Wyoming came in at No. 17. West Virginia ended the tournament at 30th with 11.5 points. Flynn’s Edinboro team ranked 36th with a cumulative seven points.
BY JAMES WHITLEY SPORTS WRITER The West Virginia University tennis team will face off against No. 8 TCU in the first round of the Big 12 Championship in Austin, Texas on Thursday. The Mountaineers (7-13, 1-8 Big 12) will take on the Horned Frogs (12-13, 2-7) after losing to TCU, 4-0, on April 22. WVU coach Miha Lisac said the team will apply what they learned from the last match. “It’s exciting that we are playing TCU again,” Lisac said. “It’s a unique situation where we will play them twice in a span of five days. It provides a great opportunity

WVU wrestler attempts to pin a South Dakota State wrestler. “I’m excited, this is a blessing for me,” Flynn said. “It came at a great time. West Virginia is a sleeping giant located in a great spot for wrestling as well as a great conference. I’m excited and ready to get started.” Flynn won’t begin his official coaching until the fall when the WVU wrestling team begins its 2018-19 sea-
son, but the WVU Athletic Department is already confident in his abilities. “I’d like to see [WVU’s program] top 20, top 15 perennially and then have those years like he’s had at Edinboro where we’re in the top five, and we’re shooting for a national championship,” Lyons said. Flynn will replace Sammie

The Mountaineers will enter the match having been shutout in their last five matches and are on a sixgame losing streak, with their last win coming against Marshall on March 31. Senior Lyn Yuen Choo and freshman Giovanna Caputo led WVU in singles play with eight wins apiece. The doubles pair of Choo and junior Paula Goetz pace the Mountaineers with nine wins in doubles action.
