‘A State of Minds’ exceeds goal by jacob bojesson city editor @jbojesson
The largest fundraising effort in West Virginia University’s history, the State of Minds campaign, has been extended through December 2017, with a new goal of reaching $1 billion. The campaign was publicly launched in June 2012, with the goal of raising $750 million by the end of 2015. In June, a year before the deadline, the Foundation announced it had ex-
ceeded its original goal by $22 million. Foundation representatives, donors and friends attended the announcement at the Blaney House, home to WVU’s President Gordon Gee, where Foundation officials said they want to build on their momentum and raise the bar even higher. “This new goal puts West Virginia University in a relatively small group of public colleges and universities across the country with fundraising goals of more than $1 billion,” said Bob

Prior to the football game Saturday, West Virginia University officially launched the “See Something, Say Something” campaign. WVU is the first organization in the state to become involved with the initiative, which serves to prevent acts of terrorism. The campaign was first used by New York’s Metropolitan Department of Transportation Authority, which licensed the use of its slogan for anti-terrorism efforts. With the help of a partnership with West Virginia Homeland Security, WVU’s campaign originally started as a way to increase safety and security on the PRT.

“We improve safety by getting people engaged,” said University Police Chief Bob Roberts. Roberts has served with the University Police for the last 29 years and served as chief for 24. “We want to make sure that people are aware and alert in the case that anything ever happens,” he said. Roberts said a valuable counterpart to the primary goal of student safety is the “LiveSafe” app and initiative that was put in place by the Student Government Association last year. “LiveSafe basically serves the same purpose for general non-terrorism crime, where ‘See Something, Say Something’ is more directed

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health hosted its fifth annual Try-It event from 3-7 p.m. at Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park Friday. Try-It promoted fitness and wellness by providing free sporting equipment, yoga and dance lessons, nutritious food and information about healthy living. Students were able to participate in activities such as canoeing, cycling, kayaking and yoga. When
students completed two activities they received wristbands, drawstring bags and T-shirts. Students were able to use their West Virginia University ID to sign up and rent the equipment for free from the WVU Outdoor Rec Center. The ORC, located in the Student Recreation Center, rents various outdoor equipment to students at a low cost. Logan Daugherty, a freshman biomedical engineering student, took advantage of the opportunity to bike along the Monongahela River. “I was interested in seeing their se-

Ibekwe also ran the education center and introduced students to WELLWVU’s themes, including drinkWELL, loveWELL, chillWELL, breatheWELL, eatWELL, sleepWELL, moveWELL, playWELL and GreenDot. These themes are incorporated into WELLWVU’s monthly calendar and are stressed one by one throughout the year with posters around campus. “We concentrate on a monthly basis because the more often students see a message in a compact pe-
riod of time, the more likely they are to make a behavior change,” said Shannon Foster, WELLWVU’s health education specialist. “We talk to students, we make it interactive, and we show them our apps such as WellGo Calendar and chillPACK. We make everything easy to access to start students off right for the year.” Foster said she believes students should thrive, not simply survive in college. She said the way to do so is by going to the students and talking to them. “[Our office] sees ourselves leading a culture for well-being,” Foster said. “We create this environment for students to make a healthy choice.” Since 2010, Try-It has been held on Saturdays, according to WELLWVU Office of Wellness and Promotion Administrator and Event Coordinator, Jeri Miller. “It’s grown every year. This year we decided to have it on a Friday evening to bring out more students,” Miller said. Students can visit the WELLWVU Office of Wellness and Health Promotion and the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services in the Health and Education building.

MPD combats High Street riot Thursday A minor riot broke out Thursday night after 10 individuals were engaged in a fight at the corner of Fayette and High Street according to a press release from the Morgantown Police Department. At 11:34 p.m. MPD responded to a call for assistance from the Morgantown Fire Marshall’s Office, the release said. Fire Marshalls were confronted with a battery in progress and were forced to use pepper spray in order to break up the fight. An employee of the Cellar Night Club, located at 376 High Street, allegedly assaulted the Fire Marshall during the
confrontation. An unknown individual activated the fire alarm at the nightclub, forcing an evacuation of the property. As the crowd grew in size, blocking both High and Fayette Street, more people joined the riot, and officers ordered the crowd to disperse four times without any success and were forced to deploy pepper spray. Officers were able to disburse the crowd quickly without any major injuries or arrests, the release said. — jcb

Continued from page 1 The Maniac Madness tailgates will be held at this time every Friday before West Virginia home football games. “Since this is the first one ever, we spent about three weeks of solid planning and it was definitely more difficult because we were having to work with the transition between this and career services,” said Jackie Riggleman, the special events coordinator for the Maniacs. “Career services were wonderful to work with and they helped to make it really smooth.” Riggleman said a lot went into staffing the event and securing food and prizes. “We had to get a lot of volunteers. We had to reach

out into the community for giveaways,” she said. “We are mainly staffed with volunteers from our board. We have spent a lot of time and effort on this, this year.” Despite high temperatures on Friday, hundreds of students lined up around most of the Mountainlair Plaza to receive their membership T-shirt. Riggleman said the line shocked her as she was helping organize the day. “It has gone better than I ever dreamed honestly. The line for the students to get their T-shirts is just absolutely incredible,” she said. “We never thought it would be this massive, but we are very pleased.” Riggleman said she looks forward to future Madness events, which will be differ-
ent each week. Quincy Wilson, the assistant of football operations at the University, said he thought the event was a great way for students to get involved and show support for athletics at the University. “I think this is just great that all of the students come out to support not just football but all sports,” Wilson said. “They are a huge part of our success and I am just really happy to see everyone out here today.” Wilson said he had some advice for students thinking of coming out to the next Maniac Madness event – bring a friend.

at terrorism,” said Roberts. The campaign will include posters and public announcements on campus, as well as promotions on several social media networks. Roberts stressed that even though there is nothing that would call for concern regarding terrorism, the purpose of the University bringing the campaign
to Morgantown is to be a step ahead. “This is just one more tool for us to help ensure the safety of everyone on campus – students, faculty, staff and visiting fans – that is our top priority,” Roberts said. “We’re participating not because we have any reason to believe that the campus is in any way a target, but we want to take every precaution to ensure that the unthinkable does not happen.” The campaign will ask anyone who sees anything suspicious to say some-
thing by calling the tollfree line 866-WVWATCH (866-989-2824) which is monitored by the West Virginia Intelligence Fusion Center, a partnership comprised of federal, local and state law enforcement public safety agencies. In the effort to insure safety, the campaign will also feature UPD’s bombsniffing dogs, Bella and Ginger. Those who call this number can remain anonymous if they wish.
WVU Foundation President and CEO. “We pledge that we will be very good stewards of these investments that you’ve made and will continue to make. We take that responsibility very seriously.” Roth, who joined the Foundation in January, mentioned WVU President Gee’s vision for the future of the University as a key to continued success for the campaign. Gee, who has a history of successful fundraising campaigns at other institutions, believes he can capitalize on his experience to help meet the new goal. “I’ve been a university president a long time and I’ve been through a lot of these campaigns,” he said. “The one thing that I bring is the fact that I know what
is possible, and I know this is possible.” Gee stressed the fact that donations are not gifts, but rather investments. “We have to have people believe that they are investing and not that they’re giving,” Gee said. “I think that that is both our opportunity and our challenge.” Savannah Lusk, a WVU freshman from Wyoming County and a recipient of one of the 524 WVU Foundation Scholarships, brought the crowd to tears when she gave a speech about how the WVU Foundation has given her opportunities that she otherwise wouldn’t have had. “I just want to tell the donors out there that this scholarship, to me, and I know to everybody else, is a chance,” Lusk said. “If I
wouldn’t have gotten this scholarship, I wouldn’t be standing here right now. When you’re donating you’re not just giving to a scholarship – you’re investing your time and your money in people like me, who without something like this, would have never gotten a chance, and I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that chance.” The WVU Foundation was founded in 1954 to secure, hold and administer funds and properties given by individuals, corporations and philanthropic foundations in support of WVU.

Warden said she felt it was a great way to spread spirit and one of the reasons she signed up to be a Maniac. “I am in love with the Mountaineers.

MOUNTAINEER IDOL RETURNS
15 contestants competed in the first elimination round, 13 will continue to week 2 by nicole curtin A&E Writer @DailyAthenaeum
Mountaineer Idol kicked off its first elimination round Friday night in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. Fifteen West Virginia University students performed songs from their music idols. The hope was to impress the judges enough to be selected to continue to the next round. Before each performance, a short introduction video for each contestant was played. Those chosen to continue were Hannah Mansson, Elizabeth Keim, Amber Gonzalez, Hannah Harless, Joseph Leytrick,
Sadiyyah Owens, Patrick Garcia, Alexa Gonzalez, Tyler Long, Jessie Ford, Megan Sydnor and Tyler Shaffer. Brandon LeRoy, originally eliminated from the competition, will continue on thanks to the judges’ save. Molly Callaghan, the lead intern for Mountaineer Idol, said in an email that the judges’ save is only used once in the competition. Four guest judges, along with head judge Shirley Robinson, judged the event Friday. Robinson is an administrative assistant at WVU. Kevin Hamric, communications specialist for WVU Healthcare, Chris
Nyden, the Student Government Association President at WVU, and Wey Lin, representing Campus MovieFest, joined Robinson. The show began as contestants sang songs from their idols. These included Sam Smith’s “I’m Not the Only One,” sang by Hannah Mansson, Christina Aguilera’s “Hurt,” sang by Jessica Ford, John Legend’s “Ordinary People,” sang by Caleb Beckner and Lady Gaga’s “You and I,” sang by Alexa Gonzalez. This is Patrick Garcia’s third time competing. He performed “Stay With Me” while accompanying himself with acoustic guitar.
“It’s exciting to be back. I love being on stage, and tonight I just had to shake off some rust I guess,” Garcia said. Garcia competed in Mountaineer Idol in 2011 and 2012, taking a break from competing in 2013. Alexa Gonzalez is also a returning competitor. She competed in the 2012 competition. “Once I got on stage I got pretty comfortable,” she said. “We have a really good top-15 and now top (13). The competition is pretty stiff. I like it, though.” SGA sponsored the first elimination round. One of the evening’s co-hosts, Spenser Wempe, was also a former SGA Board of

Governors member. “I think it was awesome,” Nyden said. “It was a bit difficult at first because you don’t know the talent of every single person, but everyone did a really good job. ‘A Change is Gonna Come’ is one of my favorite songs, so I was happy to see Tyler (Shaffer) actually feel the song.” Judges gave each contestant points for their voice, stage presence, song selection and overall performance. “I really am a fan of music and all kinds of music,”
said WVU President Gordon Gee, who attended the event. “I love to listen. I heard about it and I wanted to come out and cheer people on. More importantly, I’m just amazed at the talent that we have here. I think it’s a great thing for us to do this here.” The next round of Mountaineer Idol will be at 8 p.m. Friday in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. Contestants will perform songs from the 1980s. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu
Three galleries open at Monongalia Arts Center Caitlin Worrell correspondent @Dailyathenaeum
Art enthusiasts gathered Friday evening at the Monongalia Arts Center for the opening of three galleries. Sharon Goodman, Barbara Beer and John Pearson will showcase their work in the MAC galleries through September. Goodman, a Morgantown resident with an eye for striking color, has her newest untitled series of work displayed in the Benedum Gallery for visitors to see. Because her style is abstract, it requires deep thought and imagination to dissect the meaning of her pieces. Her work reflects the hues and feelings of summer. Goodman utilizes rich purples and bright golds to achieve this. These add a highlight that captures the emotional essence of the work. One of the most interesting pieces in the exhibit, “Icons,” features a series of small canvases positioned together. These canvases are noticeably d i f f e re n t from the others with a gold texture add-on, almost resembling a foil applique. This adds depth to the piece and offers a visual escape from Goodman’s traditional oil on canvas

Pearson’s exhibit, ‘The World Through My Eyes,’ will be on display at the Monongalia Arts Center until the end of September. vases with paint, oil, resin and jewels to depict fairytale-like images. Like Goodman, Beer’s exhibit, “Grounds of Mercy,” is abstract. The paintings are large and showcase a liberal use of color to achieve a vibrant emotion. I’ve never seen an artist use colored glass stones on canvas like Beer did. This emphasizes her work with a lasting glimmer for onlookers.

Celebrities and family gather to remember Joan Rivers NEW YORK (AP) — Howard Stern delivered the eulogy, Broadway singer-actress Audra McDonald sang “Smile” and bagpipers played “New York, New York” at Joan Rivers’ funeral Sunday, a starstudded send-off that - like the late comedian herself brought together the worlds of Hollywood, theater, fashion and media. At a funeral befitting a superstar, the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus sang Broadway hits including “Hey Big Spender” before six-time Tony Award-winner McDonald sang her tribute to Rivers, a champion of theater for decades. Tributes and reminiscences were delivered by TV anchor Deborah Norville, close friend Margie Stern, columnist Cindy Adams and Rivers’ daughter, Melissa, who spoke about how she respected her mother, who died Thursday at 81, and appreciated everyone’s support. Hugh Jackman sang “Quiet Please, There’s a Lady On Stage” at the end of the memorial, and bagpipers from the New York City Police Department played on the streets as mourners filed out of Temple EmanuEl, many dabbing their eyes. “She would love this. We’ve all said this so many times: The one person who would really think this is the
greatest thing ever is the lady who it’s all about, and she’s not here,” said Norville afterward, amid the throngs of well-wishers and sound of bagpipes. A legion of notables turned out to remember Rivers: comedians Kathy Griffin, Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg; E! network “Fashion Police” colleague and friend Kelly Osbourne; Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick; and celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz. Theater stars Bernadette Peters, Alan Cumming and Tommy Tune were there. Record producer Clive Davis was, too. Fashion designers Carolina Herrera, Dennis Basso and Michael Kors were in attendance. Stars from TV such as Barbara Walters, Geraldo Rivera, Diane Sawyer, Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb and Andy Cohen. Late night band leader Paul Shaffer. And moguls Barry Diller, Donald Trump and Steve Forbes. “It was uplifting. We were celebrating her life,” Basso said. Mourners had lined up outside the Fifth Avenue synagogue and waited for their names to be checked against a list before entering. A crowd of media stood watch behind barriers, and fans from as far away as Australia and England lined the streets.
Actress Susan Claassen, who met Rivers in London in 2008 when both had onewoman shows, came from Tucson, Arizona, to honor her friend. “I always like to say that in a world of knockoffs, Joan was an original,” she said. The comedian detailed in her 2012 book “I Hate Everyone ... Starting With Me” that she hoped for “a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action” and “Hollywood all the way.” Instead of a rabbi talking, Rivers asked for “Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents” and “a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyonce’s.” Indeed, her wishes were so important they were printed in the funeral program. The funeral program also included a page with three classic Rivers’ lines printed out: “Can we talk?” `’Who are you wearing?” and “Be-
Joan Rivers’ daughter, Melissa, and her grandson, Cooper, at the Frank Campbell funeral home. cause I’m a funny person.” Rivers was a trailblazer for all comics, but especially for women. The raspy-voiced blonde with the brash New York accent was a TV talk show host, stage, film and TV actress, fashion critic, and she sold a line of jewelry.

‘A State of Minds’ to brighten WVU A State of Minds: The Campaign for West Virginia’s University recently announced its plan to extend fundraising through December 2017, in an effort to reach $1 billion. More than a year early, the campaign reached its goal of $750 million with tremendous contributions from West Virginia University alumni and friends. The money raised will be used to support all types of devoted students with scholarships and fellowships, along with funding to many successful WVU programs, professorships, research efforts and efforts to improve the
economy, health and overall quality of life in West Virginia. The fundraising for the campaign specifically outlines WVU’s 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future. And we believe this campaign, in union with the plan will only serve to benefit the University and the students here.

Just say yes to saying no: The escalator ride to success jake jarvis a&E editor @jakejarviswvu
“Overachiever” is a badge that many wear proudly. In high school, I couldn’t begin to count how many times I heard “Sorry, I’m an overachiever.” Ev e n I l i k e d t o think of myself as an overachiever. In high school, it was easy to go above and beyond your responsibilities, but college is an entirely different game. What once counted as going “above and beyond” now equates to doing the minimal to be successful. I won’t rehash all the responsibilities we have as students at West Virginia University, but here are a few: Internships, studying for the GRE, working, trying to maintain a social life, remembering to call mom (because you’re broke - let’s be honest) and actually trying to read your textbooks. When approached with a new opportunity, it’s incredibly hard for me to say no. Sometimes I know that I am unable to help with a student organization or with a friend’s homework, but I am frozen in my abil-
ity to say no. Why is it so hard to say no? For starters, we fear that by saying no we limit our potential. If a professor approached you and offered you an internship, most people would feel delighted. Opportunities like this make my mind immediately go into the realm of “what if.” It’s easy for us to see the positives of the “what if.” What if I would get published in a national journal? What if my professor asked me to work for him full-time? What if I could get paid for the internship? We usually leave out the negatives in our assessment of these situations. What if I can’t handle it? What if I lose sleep and can’t make it to class? Perhaps greater than the fear of not reaching our full potential is the fear that we’ve already reached it. We’re expected to grow emotionally and mentally as we age, and most of us do. I tend to overestimate how much I’ve grown in the past year. There will be times when you plateau in your abilities. Like athletes, sometimes we just reach
www.aceshowbiz.com
our breaking point and we’re giving the best we have. If this happens, acknowledge that you’re at your edge. Let your professors and employers know that you’re trying your best and that you hope it’s good enough. If it’s not? Oh well.
There’s a common theme here - more. We want more. We try more. We do more. Then we fail more. Don’t take this article to be one of the fluff pieces online telling you to balance your life. Instead, consider what I’ve presented as a way for you to
examine how much you expect from yourself. High expectations are great - they usually mean high rewards. So keep the high expectations, but instead, reframe your measure of success. I’m going to call myself a life satisfaction overacheiver. To do this, use in-
ternships, work and school as the steps to reach your success. The end goal, the top of the stairs, is going to bed with a smile. If you find yourself on the wrong staircase, there’s no shame in taking the escalator. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Nude picture leaks are nothing new. We all knew the girl in high school whose nudes made their rounds through many an iPhone. We’ve heard the horror stories of vindictive ex-boyfriends uploading compromising pictures of past lovers on the Internet. We’ve read the “Cosmopolitan,” “Seventeen” and numerous other magazine articles about girls whose lives were ruined from the repercussions of sending someone they trusted a very intimate picture of themselves only to have it lead to immense bullying, self-hate and, in extreme cases, suicide. But with the case of the most recent onslaught of non-consensual releases of celebrity nudes, with reputable names such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, our whole concept of “leaked nudes” is irrevocably changed. For one, these pictures were deliberately and maliciously hacked into via Apple’s iCloud service, a program that, at the time

of publishing, is still not confirmed as secure. The pictures were then leaked throughout the Internet, leading to many arguments regarding the often debated fine line of privacy and fame. So we are quick to empathize with these women, blaming each and every lustful male who looks up these images, every female who had a girl crush on J. Law whose curiosity got the best of them, as perpetuating this issue. Some even go so far as to say that those who deliberately search out these images are furthering the molestation of these women’s privacy rights, and to that there is some degree of truth. While these stars – or anyone, for that matter – did not deserve to have their photos posted throughout the Internet, it’s far-fetched to say that those who did seek out these pictures are in any way malicious. It is not the layperson’s fault that these pictures have, unfortunately, become a part of the public domain. Is it the most morally sound decision one can make? Absolutely not. But are these people “sexual molesters?”
No. No, they are not. These pictures have already been debuted on the Internet, these stars had their privacy rights violated from the moment iCloud got hacked. One can safely assume that, after reading this article, more people will probably look up the photos, as well. In a way, you could say I am perpetuating the disastrous repercussions of these pictures just by writing this article. If we’re looking to point the finger of blame at a sexual molester, let it point firmly at those who leaked these pictures. It is the hackers who should be held liable for this issue, not those who have received the pictures in a trickle-down effect. But even on a smaller scale we should be holding the Average Joe to a greater standard, the spiteful boy who sends images of his ex-girlfriend to his friends, or even the one who doesn’t respect his significant other enough to keep the pictures in any modicum of a secure place within the confines of his phone. But there is also the t h o u g h t c a m p t hat these celebrities simply
shouldn’t have taken the nudes in the first place. While many liken this to the idea of promoting abstinence-only sex education or even victim blaming (both viable debates in and of themselves), there is a way to be intelligent about sending and receiving these types of pictures. Perhaps this is the most obvious of the suggestions, but sending pictures only to those you absolutely and irrevocably trust with them should be your first step. Whatever you want done with those pictures should absolutely be your decision. Whether you send them on Snapchat but demand that no screenshots be taken or that the picture just immediately gets deleted postsending, make sure your picture partner-in-crime is respectful enough to comply. It is your body he or she is viewing, and you should feel the utmost security and trust in that person before taking the plunge – or the photo. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu
mountaineer kennel club guest column
As school starts, Mountaineer Kennel Club (Est. 1945) reminds students to think before getting a pet, especially a dog. Owning a dog should be a lifetime commitment, not a whim. The average lifespan of a dog varies from 8 to 16 years, depending on breed, size, genetics and care. If you choose to get a dog, consider the annual cost. A small dog - including food, veterinary care, toys and license - is $420. Make that $620 for medium dogs and $780 for large pooches. This doesn’t include expenses for spay/neuter surgery, collar, leash, carrier and crate. Dogs need exercise to burn calories, stimulate their minds and keep healthy. A couple of walks around the block every day and ten minutes in the backyard probably won’t cut it. Your pet needs a warm, quiet
place to rest, away from all drafts. A training crate is ideal. Make sure that your rental lease allows pets. A well-behaved canine companion is a joy, but left untrained, your dog can cause nothing but trouble. Teaching your dog the basics “Sit,” “Stay,” “Come,” “Down,” “Heel,” “Off ” and “Leave it” - will improve your relationship with both your dog and your neighbors. Your dog should see the veterinarian for a full check-up every year, and immediately if he is sick or injured. Spaying/neutering reduces the risk of breast cancer, testicular cancer and unwanted puppies. A dog will provide a lifetime of joy, happiness and companionship and should not be an “impulse purchase.” For more information about maintaining a happy and healthy dog, obedience and agility training and the Mountaineer Kennel Club, visit our web site at http://mkclub.org. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Balanced attack serves WVU well West Virginia was hitting on all cylinders during its blowout win over the Towson Tigers Saturday night. Dana Holgorsen’s offense ran like a well-oiled machine, scoring on five of its first six drives in the first half and blowing the doors off the Towson defense. Quarterback Clint Trickett was the picture of efficiency, completing 35 of his 40 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns. He also added a fiveyard touchdown run. While Trickett made his mark through the air, West Virginia also enjoyed considerable success on the ground. Running back Rushel Shell continued to solidify his position atop the depth chart with another gritty performance, smashing his way through the Towson defense for 71 yards on 14 carries. He found the end zone for the first time as a Mountaineer in the second quarter. Early in West Virginia’s season opening loss to Alabama, the Mountaineers had success moving the ball on the ground. As the game wore on, the Crimson Tide defense put the clamps on the run game and made the Mountaineers one dimensional. That didn’t happen Saturday. Led by Shell, the Mountaineers racked up 251 yards on the ground against Towson. West Virginia ran 96 plays Saturday night: 52 runs and 44 passes. That kind of balance is something that eluded the Mountaineers during their year to forget in 2013. All five of West Virginia’s running backs carried the ball against the Tigers and 10 Mountaineers carried in total. For one week, there were enough carries to go around. As the quality of opponents West Virginia is going to face the rest of the season is about to improve, keeping that balance in the backfield will be extremely important. The script was similar through the air for the Mountaineers. Trickett spread the ball around with ease, getting all of West Virginia’s main targets involved, as well as the running backs in the short passing game. Just like he did against Alabama, Trickett ran Holgorsen’s offense with tempo and poise from start to finish. “I thought he was efficient the first game. His communication is really good. His confidence is really good. He understands where to go with the ball,” Holgorsen said. One of his favorite places to go with the ball this season has been to senior wide receiver Kevin White. White registered his second straight 100-yard receiving game Saturday and his chemistry with Trickett appears to be off the charts early in the season. Jordan Thompson continued his emergence as a legitimate playmaker in West Virginia’s offense, hauling in five receptions for 52 yards and his first collegiate touchdown against the Tigers. To put the icing on the cake, freshman quarterback William Crest saw his first game action in a West Virginia uniform. Billed by some of the future of West Virginia’s football program, Crest had his first chance to show what the hype surrounding him is all about. His first drive ended in a turnover when he lost a fumble on a quarterback keeper, but bounced back with the first touchdown carry of his career later in the fourth quarter. Holgorsen is understandably playing coy as to what Crest’s role will be moving forward, but he showed the type of athleticism that could provide an extra spark for West Virginia’s offense this season. While I realize the gulf in talent that exists between Towson’s defense and what West Virginia will be facing next week against Maryland and throughout its Big 12 schedule, this game should be the Mountaineers’ blueprint moving forward. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Trickett, defense help lead West Virginia to victory Saturday against Towson, 54-0 by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum
West Virginia dominated Towson Saturday night, beating the Tigers by a score of 54-0. The Mountaineers racked up 606 yards of total offense and moved the ball at will against an overmatched Towson defense. Quarterback Clint Trickett was more than efficient under center, completing 35 of 40 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns. Trickett also added a rushing touchdown on a five-yard quarterback keeper. “I thought he managed the game great last week. I think he managed the game even better this week,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. Running back Rushel Shell led the Mountaineers’ rushing attack with 14 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown. West Virginia’s defense held Towson’s offense to 122 total yards. Linebacker Wes Tonkery led the Mountaineers with five tackles before sustaining a leg injury in the first half that sidelined him for the rest of the night. West Virginia wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as running back Wendell Smallwood punched the ball into the end zone, capping off a 13-play, 68-yard opening drive. Towson head coach Rob Ambrose rolled the dice early when the Tigers went for it on fourth down on the WVU 46 yard line. Defensive end Shaq Riddick stopped Towson quarterback Connor Frazier for no gain as the Tigers turned the ball over on downs. Tows on’s follow ing drive stalled out when the Tigers unsuccessfully attempted a fake punt run, turning the ball over to West Virginia on their own 44 yard line.

West Virginia was able to capitalize on good field position when Shell punched the ball into the end zone from two yards out, capping off a nineplay, 44-yard drive. Following a Towson punt, receiver Mario Alford made a juggling catch in the corner of the end zone that was originally ruled incomplete, but eventually confirmed as a touchdown following a review. West Virginia held a 31-0 lead at the half. In the second half, Trickett and the No. 1 offense remained on the field. West Virginia struck quickly as Trickett hooked up with receiver Jordan Thompson for a 19-yard touchdown. After turning the ball over on downs on their own one yard line, Ridnick holstein/the daily athenaeum dick sacked Frazier in the Running back Rushel Shell carries the ball during WVU’s defeat against Towson Saturday end zone for a safety, extending WVU’s lead to 40-0. Trickett started the Mou nt a i n e e rs’ e n su ing drive, but was relieved midway by freshman quarterback William Crest. Crest ripped off a few nice runs in mop up duty before turning the ball over on a sack. Crest eventually redeemed himself in the fourth quarter on a fouryard touchdown run. “He made some really good decisions in some of the run game stuff we did,” Holgorsen said. Running back Andrew Buie provided the final blow when he crossed the goal line from three yards out, putting an exclamation point on the night. After tonight’s victory, it’s obvious the 2014 edition Mountaineers are a completely different group than the 4-8 squad everyone witnessed last season. “I think this team is pretty confident, to be honest with you,” Holgorsen said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Wendell Smallwood runs with the ball during week 1 of the 2014 season against Alabama.
by anthony pecoraro associate sports editor @pecorarowvunews
West Virginia did not waste any time silencing its doubters coming into the second game of the 2014 season. The Mountaineers rolled all over the Towson Tigers, defeating them in emphatic fashion, 54-0. Not only did WVU dominate on all sides of the ball, but the Mountaineers recorded their first shutout since their 31-0 win over Coastal Carolina in 2010. After losing in closer fashion than many ex-
pected to No. 2 Alabama in Week 1, the Mountaineers came out firing under the lights at home Saturday night and put any thought of a Towson upset to bed early. During the Mountaineers’ loss to the Crimson Tide a week ago, West Virginia’s running game was nearly invisible. The Mountaineers only recorded 28 rushing yards all game. The story was slightly different in the home opener Saturday, with WVU’s running game tallying 251 total rushing yards. Sophomore running
backs Wendell Smallwood and Rushel Shell led the way to victory on the ground, in the short passing game and on special teams. The two led the Mountaineers opening possession, which resulted in a 13play, 68-yard touchdown drive capped off by Smallwood’s 1-yard run, the first rushing touchdown of West Virginia’s season. The duo combined for 22 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown a piece in the running game. The versatile pair showed agility and confidence as they ran all over the Tigers’ defense. In
the Mountaineer passing game Shell and Smallwood combined for seven receptions for 102 yards. With stellar performances out of the Mountaineers’ top two backs, head coach Dana Holgorsen said this was the performance he needed out of his squad Saturday, but said he knows this is only one piece to the entire Mountaineer season. “(We) challenged our guys all week to see what kind of team that we were – a team that was going to come out and play with enthusiasm – and I felt like we
were,” Holgorsen said. “It’s a good team win. We’ll look at the tape and evaluate everything and prepare to move on quickly.” Shell, who reached the end zone for the first time as a Mountaineer Saturday, said the running backs had something to prove after the Alabama game. “We wanted to show everyone that we can run the ball. We have a great backfield, so we just (had) the opportunity, and we actually seized the moment,” Shell said. “It feels real good. We put
a lot of work into this week. Now, we just have to worry about next week,” he said. “I’m going to remember this game for a long time.” Redshirt junior running back Andrew Buie also got into the end zone for the first time since playing Kansas in 2012 and had nine carries for 70 yards with a touchdown Saturday night. The Mountaineers wrap up their non-conference schedule Saturday, as they take on the Maryland Terrapins at noon in College Park, MD. anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia comes away victorious over weekend

WVU’s Jordan Anderson attempts a spike during a match against BYU earlier this season.
by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia University volleyball team competed in the Niagara Invitational tournament this past weekend at Niagara University in New York. The Mountaineers came out on top against Gardner-Webb, Niagara and Providence, to win the invitational. In an interview with WVUSports.com, head coach Jill Kramer said she was pleased with the work her team put in. “I’m really proud of our team’s effort and how everyone contributed throughout the weekend,” Kramer said.
“They did a good job of taking care of some key objectives we had going into the tournament. We learned more about some areas that we need to improve upon this week going into the Mountaineer Invitational and are looking forward to a productive week in the gym.” In their first match of the weekend against the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs, the Mountaineers won 3-0 with set scores of 26-15, 2514 and 25-16. Sophomore Jordan Anderson led the team with 18 kills, an ace and four digs. Other girls who contributed to the win were Hannah Sackett with seven hits and two blocks, along with
Morgan Montgomery who went two for four in hits including a set-winning kill. Evyn McCoy had four block assists while Nikki Attea, Caleah Wells added two blocks for a team total of six. Kramer said the girls were keeping control of the floor during their match against Gardner-Webb. “I was really pleased with our focus for the duration of the match,” she said. “I thought we did a really good job at the service line. Although we only blocked two balls a set, we slowed down a lot of balls and our floor defense did a great job around the block. I think our communication and cohesiveness gets better each
match. It’s been nice to see the girls really put forth the effort to make that happen.” Match No. 2 ended in a 3-0 win against the Niagara Purple Eagles Friday. In their fifth consecutive win, the Mountaineers beat the Purple Eagles 25-16, 25-17 and 25-17. Anderson led the team again with 13 kills and eight digs, Attea had 12 kills and one serving ace, and Sackett finished with 11 kills. Lamprini Konstantinidou had three kills and 34 assists, as well as two serving aces and eight digs. Anna Panagiotakopolous had seven digs. Gianna Gotterba also played libero and had six digs. Kramer said the girls were
playing better through each set. “We challenged our pin hitters to be more efficient this tournament and they’ve done a great job with that so far,” she said. “I like the way we’ve communicated through play today. I think we’ve been committed to the objectives we had coming into this tournament and they’ve stuck together. We’ve stayed focused on how we’re competing on our side of the net, and I think that’s something that will help us moving forward.” In their last match against Providence on Saturday, the Mountaineers finished 3-0 with set scores of 25-18, 25-
13 and 25-15. Attea finished with 10 kills on the match and two aces, Wells also recorded eight kills and eight digs. Anderson averaged 5.22 kills per set and earned MVP accolades. She and Konstantinidou were named to the all-tournament team along with Attea for their scoring and the assists from Konstantinidou. The Mountaineers will be back in action this weekend in their Mountaineer Invitational at the Coliseum. The action begins Friday at noon against Kent State, the first of four matches for the weekend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Notre Dame pounds Michigan in South Bend, 31-0 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Everett Golson and Notre Dame said so long to Michigan with a devastating parting shot. When it was over, the Fighting Irish celebrated their most lopsided victory in the history of the series – and the only thing playing in the stadium was the alma mater and the fight song by the band. Golson threw three touchdown passes and No. 16 Notre Dame beat the Wolverines 31-0 Satur-
day night, snapping Michigan’s NCAA record streak of games without being shut out at 365 before the rivalry goes into hiatus. Coach Brian Kelly tried to downplay the win a little. “It counts as one,” he said, before adding: “I’d be lying if I told you that it didn’t feel great to shut out Michigan, 31-to-nothing,’’ stressing the 31. Game No. 42 in a rivalry that has been off-and-on for more than 100 years is the
last scheduled. Notre Dame broke off the series to accommodate its new scheduling arrangement with the Atlantic Coast Conference. Michigan didn’t take it well. Coach Brady Hoke jokingly accused the Fighting Irish of chickening out before last year’s game at Ann Arbor. Then after Michigan beat the Irish, “The Chicken Dance’’ blared through the sound system at the Big House. No hard feelings?
“It was great revenge,” Notre Dame linebackerJaylon Smith said of the Irish fans serenading the Wolverines with “Nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye.” The previous most lopsided victory for Notre Dame against Michigan as 35-12 in 1943. The last time the Wolverines were shut out was 26-0 by Iowa on Oct. 20, 1984. This one will probably sting longer, considering
the circumstances. “We will bounce back,” Hoke said. “This is a very resilient, hard-working group of young men, who know what it takes to win.” Golson was 23 for 34 for 226 yards. Devin Gardner was 19 for 32 for 189 yards and committed four second-half turnovers for Michigan. Maybe it was just a coincidence that this week Notre Dame announced a future home-and-home
with Ohio State, Michigan’s hated rival – and a team that has owned the Wolverines in recent years. Still, this is a rivalry that has been generally quite civil in recent years. Two of the bluest of bloods in college football history, they are the winningest programs ever by percentage. They have combined for 1,787 victories. In fact, Michigan had a chance to take back the top spot by beating the Fighting Irish.

MEN’S SOCCER
WVU takes first loss of season against Saint Francis
DOYLE MAURER/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Forward Andy Bevin tries to win possession against a Saint Francis defender Sunday.

sports correspondEnt @dailyathenaeum
After starting the season 3-0, West Virginia fell for the first time Sunday. Saint Francis was able to rally around a second half goal from Andrew Hajec to give the Red Flash the victory. Goalkeeper Andrew Garcia recorded his second shutout of the season while saving six shots. Despite not scoring in the first half, West Virginia was
able to take an early advantage in the game and control the field for most of the half. West Virginia’s defense was able to keep the Saint Francis offense at bay and did not allow a shot on goal in the first half. West Virginia was able to get five shots on goal but none found the back of the net. Saint Francis keeper Andrew Garcia was brilliant in the first half, saving all five shots that came his way.
The Mountaineers controlled the ball often, but were unable to take advantage of their opportunities. The Red Flash flipped the script in the second half. Saint Francis kept the ball in its possession and struck the Mountaineers when the moment was right. Saint Francis started to get its chances after the 50 minute mark of the game. A free kick went just wide and they missed out on a threeon-two opportunity. Just after their missed
chances, the Red Flash took a corner kick at the 53:40 mark but missed on their first opportunity. However, the ball was kept in the offensive half by Pablo Medina and Bryan Causey, who then assisted Andrew Hajec to give the Flash the eventual game-winning goal. Despite not getting opportunities early in the second half, West Virginia came back with force. A shot on goal was blocked at the 70:45 mark and Ryan
Cain set himself up in the middle of the field for a shot later in the half, but his attempt fell just left of the goal. Head coach Marlon LeBlanc said the performance was disappointing but the team does not want to make excuses. “It is not rocket science. We need to be better on defense,” he said. “We only gave up two shots on goal but we still got our butts kicked all day.” Despite the team suffer-
ing its first loss of the season, LeBlanc said he is still optimistic moving forward. “We’re still a good team. This is just a bad loss at the end of the day. We’re not the first team to lose at home this year, we just have to fix things quickly,” he said. West Virginia will conclude its home stand Thursday when the Mountaineers take on UC Irvine at 7 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers sweep competition in 90 Minute Classic
DOYLE MAURER/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Forward Ashley Lawrence controls the ball during WVU’s win against Hofstra Friday.
by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum
After starting the season with a 2-2 record, the West Virginia women’s soccer team is beginning to find its groove. WVU has strung together three straight victories dating back to its 2-0 win over Elon on Aug. 31. The Mountaineers – as part of the WVU 90 Minute Classic – put on a dominant performance against Hofstra Friday night, beating The
Pride 4-0. All of West Virginia’s goals came in the first half of play as four different Mountaineers found the back of the net Friday night. Junior forward Kailey Utley got the scoring barrage going as she netted her first goal of the season in the fourth minute of Friday’s game. After Utley’s goal, the Mountaineers never looked back. Goals from sophomore defender Kadeisha Buchanan, junior forward Kelsie Maloney and sophomore forward Ashley Law-
rence put the game out of reach in the first half. “To mix it around and have so many people create chances and finish is important for us, because it lets us know we have such great balance in our attack, and at any given time, anyone can score,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a release. West Virginia carried its success against Hofstra into Sunday’s matchup against UNC Greensboro. The Mountaineers were dealt a huge blow late in
the first half, as senior forward Kate Schwindel had to be carried off the field due to an injury. Schwindel returned to action this season after suffering an ACL tear during last year’s regular season finale. Despite Schwindel’s absences, the Mountaineers managed to score with eight seconds remaining in the first half. Junior defender Leah Emaus sent a hard shot from outside the 18-yard box into the goal. It was Emaus’ first goal of the season and allowed WVU to
take a 1-0 lead into halftime. “You’ve got to be a spark off the bench,” Emaus said. “They had been hammering us all half and they came out and wanted to take our name. We needed to put a goal in the back of the net in the first half. That really drives our momentum.” “Leah coming in and making that happen was definitely momentum,” Izzo-Brown said. “With us pounding (and) pounding and Leah finding the back of the net (and) showing that leadership was critical.”
The Mountaine ers wasted no time in the second half, as Lawrence extended WVU’s lead with a goal in the 48th minute. UNC Greensboro had no answers for West Virginia’s pair of goals. The Mountaineers would improve to 4-2 on the season. Izzo-Brown and company will look to pick up their fourth straight win Friday as the Mountaineers face Georgetown at 5 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
