Student verbally assaulted in parking garage, incidents in Sunnyside growing

BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Sunnyside may not be as safe as it should be.

“I went to go to the library today and I couldn’t even park in the Lair because I was too scared,” said Kenzi Kemp, a sophomore public health student from Ripley, West Virginia.

Kemp said she was leaving University Place apartments on Sept. 10 at 12:50 a.m. when a man followed her into the University Place parking garage.

“I got up to my car and went to open my door and he shut it,” said Kemp. “I dropped my keys and my cellphone because I was scared.”

Kemp said she offered the man her cellphone and car keys.

“He only wanted to go to my apartment with me,” Kemp said. “He kept getting super angry and was hitting my car, screaming as he was slapping it, and then the alarm went off.”

“The man ran away after the car alarm went off,” Kemp said.

WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts said they have video of the incident.

“We’re following up on it to see if we can identify the individual,” Roberts said.

The fifth level of the UClub parking garage is where one of the stalking incidents allegedly occured.

This school year, other female students have reported being the targets of crime in Sunnyside.

Starting in August, rumor spread of an alleged “Sunnyside Stalker” who would rob and harass women.

Victor Michael Panico, 27, has been charged with robbery by Morgantown police.

Panico allegedly mugged a woman near the Life Sciences Building.

Panico is also a suspect in an Aug. 14 burglary on Grant Avenue.

After Panico was arrested, female targeting did not stop.

Jessica Mannering, a senior, said she had been harassed by two different men

in the last month.

Mannering said a man followed her down Beechurst Avenue in a car.

“The car pulled up super close to the curb,” she said.

“His tires were touching the curb.”

On Sept. 6, Mannering said another man followed her as she walked back to her apartment alone at 10 p.m.

According to Mannering, the man began following her around Stansbury Hall to the

Pictured above is another parking garage in Sunnyside next to Summit Hall.

Life Science Building and asked her where the Life Science Building was. He then left and began climbing the steps beside Brooke Hall.

Manering said that he then turned back around and trailed her.

“He was directly on my heels,” she said. “He literally kept his eyes on me the entire time.”

Manering said she did not report the incident.

Roberts said that it was hard for police to “ address the [crime] trends and patterns” if things were not reported.

Roberts said if students are ever followed, they should “walk toward a crowd, or a business, or some place where there’s people.”

WVU’s enforcement of Title IX policies unchanged

BY KAYLA GAGNON CORRESPONDENT WVU’s process of handling sexual assault cases will not change after Secretary of Education Betsy Devos’ remarks on Title IX and its enforcement.

“The system established by the prior administration has failed too many students,” Devos said.

Terri Howes, the WVU Senior Associate Athletic Director, helps educate student athletes on Title IX policies.

“The law is what it is,” Howes said. “It depends right now on the next interpretive letter that would come out [like the Obama administration’s “Dear Colleague” letter].”

The release of the 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter, which detailed guidelines universities needed to follow with sexual assault cases, caused major changes in universities across

the nation. Such changes included hiring additional staff members to assist with cases of sexual assault.

“They now have lawyers that would be on the investigation [of sexual assault cases],” Howes said. “In my personal opinion, that’s what was needed. Before they had a former campus police officer that was doing the investigation. They weren’t trained to see all sides.”

“We never have that problem [denying accusers due process],” said Joyce McConnell, Vice President for Academic Affairs. “Due process standards are very strong in West Virginia and whatever happened in previous states, absolutely cannot happen here.”

WVU currently has seven staff members in the Title IX and Office of Equity Assurance, including investigators, a case manager and specialists that are trained to handle cases of sexual assault and other issues covered

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy Devos speaks at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland. under Title IX. “[WVU] has the staff to handle those kinds of investigations, and do it in the right way,” Howes said.

Howes noted a problem with enforcing Title IX across a variety of schools.

“Nationally, you hate to say it but it’s your major schools

that can afford this,” Howes said. “Your smaller schools, they can’t afford that staffing. So I do see the potential violations or allegations not being investi-

gated properly.”

“We’ve worked very hard to implement a lot of changes for Title IX and make sure the students have resources, we stop any types of behavior that are not appropriate and address the issues that come from that,” said James Goins, Title IX Coordinator.

Goines said that there were many resources available to students: •Rescheduling or housing changes •Accommodation letters for any missed class time •Free counseling •A student advocate from the Peer Advocate group on campus to walk them through legal processes and everything available to them “We are always in constant process of trying to make things better,” McConnell said. “We want what’s best for our students and our faculty.”

Emergency lights in demand following Sunnyside incidents

BY KATELYN CLARK CORRESPONDENT The debate on emergency blue lights continues.

“More emergency blue lights would be very beneficial for Sunnyside because of the recent attacks,” said Jill John, a sophomore from Charleston, West Virginia.

On Sept. 10, Kenzi Kemp, a sophomore public health student from Ripley, West Virginia, was followed into the University Park parking garage.

Kemp said the man demanded she take him to her apartment.

“I got up to my car and went to open my door and he shut it,” Kemp said. “He kept getting super angry and was hitting my car, screaming as he was slapping it, and then the alarm went off.”

Other students on Twitter have said they were targeted for crime.

West Virginia University has 32 emergency blue lights placed around campus, but Brianna Richel, a sophomore from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, said that there was not enough on Sunnyside.

“I don’t feel safe walking

“People have 911 programs in their phones. Now with ‘Live Safe’ you can immediately contact our department,” - Bob Roberts, WVU Police Chief alone [in Sunnyside], but I did [in Evansdale],” said Richel.

Bob Roberts, University Police Chief, said WVU has only had two emergencies in 22 years reported with the lights.

Roberts said there should not be more emergency blue lights because of new technology available.

“People have 911 programs in their phones. Now with ‘Live Safe’ you can immediately contact our department,” Roberts said.

Instead of relying on the emergency blue lights, Roberts encourages all students to download the app Live Safe. The app acts as a mo-

they track them on their way home. Students can also use the app to share their loca-

tion with friends so they can moniter your location and ensure you get home safely.

Roberts said the key to students and their safety is awareness.

Special election held today on SGA constitutional amendment

If students approve the proposed amendment, SGA could be operating with a full legislative branch for the first time since fall 2016.

BY CAITY COYNE STAFF WRITER Today students will vote on a constitutional amendment for the Student Government Association that could lead to the organization operating with a full legislative body by the end of October.

The constitutional amendment would add a succession process to fill vacant seats in the student assembly — of which there are currently 15 — when there are no next-highest vote getters to fill the seats.

Voting will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Mountainlair and the Student Recreation Center.

If students vote to approve the amendment, the SGA constitution will add a “contingency plan,” as some SGA officials have called it, to ensure the legislative branch is operating at its full capacity, which in turn better serves the students, said Student Body President Blake Humphrey at last week’s SGA meeting.

The amendment ment will help the orgaanization fill the currently vacant seats on the Senate, however College Representative seats will remain vacant until the college rep election at the end of October.

The potentiall succession process cess would require a committee formed within SGA to vet interested candidates to fill the empty seats, then give a recommendation for vacant positions to the student body president, who will either approve or deny the candidates.

Currently, the SGA constitution directs the next-highest vote getters for vacant seats to take the seats. The last election, however, didn’t offer any runner-ups, and that coupled with several resignations has

left the or organization operating dangerously close to losing its necessary quorum number, which is required for any legislative action, like rewarding grants and passing resolutions.

This amendment, if approved, would only apply if future administrations are met with the same challenges Humphrey’s administration is currently facing, said Adila Fathallah, SGA chief of staff.

DACA recipients stand in protest at the Milwaukee Mayday March for immigrants, students and workers.

Removal of DACA: America the free?

BY JOCELIN LEON CORRESPONDANT America, “the land of the free.”

How free are you when the right to study, work and even live in this country is being taken away? When the validity of your citizenship is being debated because you weren’t born on U.S. ground?

You may have lived the majority of your life here. Made friends, gone to school, graduated and landed a stable job.

None of that goes into account when it comes to President Trump’s removal of The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

DACA was passed during Barack Obama’s presidency in June 2012. The American immigration policy offered the opportunity to 800,000 “Dreamers” to go onto college, acquire a work permit, buy houses and get their driver’s license, allowing them to live a normal life.

This policy came into existence when it was decided that the majority of undocumented children were not at fault for their legal status. A greater number of them had no say in immigrating to another country, it was simply a decision made by their parents or guardians.

“The main focus needs to be on the kids. They’re the ones that have basically started their lives here and this is all they know.”

- Emily Cox, student

“This is most unfair to the children,” said student Emily Cox. “It wasn’t their choice to leave the country they were born in, most of them were brought over in order to be together with their family. I see no crime in that.”

A lot of Dreamers have come forward at protests, marches and interviews, stating that the only reason they have been able to help support their family is because of the DREAM Act, or the Developement, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act. Now they fear what will happen when they can no longer provide for their families.

There is also concern regarding what is going to be done with the information that Dreamers gave in order to apply for the Dream Act. Will it be used to target and deport them?

According to NBC News, approximately 800,000 Dreamers and another 200,000 applicants will be affected by the removal of DACA. What hap-

pens with them now? Do they just forget about the rights they were given five years ago and go back to feeling like outcasts?

“The main focus needs to be on the kids. They’re the ones that have basically started their lives here and this is all they know. If they were to be sent back [to their countries of origin], would they be able to have the same opportunities as here or fit into the different culture they haven’t grown up in?” Cox said.

When these issues don’t effect us personally we tend to not pay attention.

We must take into consideration that our nation was built by immigrants. Our colleagues, peers and community members could be affected by the removal of the bill. Immigrants are what make our country the diverse place its known to be, and President Trump’s decision could be inconsiderate and catastrophic towards the millennial generation.

CARTOON BY LEIGH-ANNA JOHNSON

Letter to the editor Dear Editor, When I heard president Trump’s decision to end DACA I was at a loss for words. I felt numb and most importantly concerned for those people whom it may affect, those close to me, and all the people who relied on this program to make a better living for themselves and for their loved ones.

My parents are both immigrants, and although they came at a young age and were both citizens before I was born, my mind immediately thought, “What if this could be happening to me?

Aren’t there more important things to worry about right now?

There are about 800,000 young adults who are being targeted by the Trump administration, and the thought of deporting people who don’t know any other

place except the United States makes my stomach turn. In the United States we are always so quick to talk about the “American Dream” and these Dreamers want to experience that without being afraid.

Taking DACA away is like pulling a rug from underneath so many of our peers and loved ones, and it would be a shame to do that after President Obama ensured they would be safe.

My mind keeps going back to “What if?” and I am thankful to have been born in this country, but can only imagine the heartache and anguish I would feel if the roles were reversed.

In many ways I can resonate with these Dreamers because they are like me and many others who are simply trying to accomplish our goals and dreams.

The Trump administration’s decision is dehumanizing Dreamers and considering them as merely statistics.

These are real people who have contributed to society just as much as people born in this country. They are American in every way, shape and form except on paper. Trump is in control of many young people’s futures and is specifically targeting this group of hardworking individuals to prove a political agenda.

It is essential for us to unite.

As a united Hispanic/Latinx community, these type of drastic decisions affect us all.

These Dreamers are the kind of people we want representing us; they are a step forward in the right direction.

Sincerely, Zabrina Fuentes Culturas WVU president

Art Up Close! Series discusses “Confirmation of the Bridge” by African-American artist

BY ERIN DRUMMOND MANAGING EDITOR The West Virginia University community was invited to view art that contributed to the course of U.S. history.

The Art Up Close! Series was hosted on Tuesday, Sept.

12 and featured Marjorie Fuller, director of WVU’s Center for Black Culture and Research. Fuller’s presentation focused on the a print created African-American artist Jacob Lawrence.

“The first of the fall’s prints will be ‘Confirmation of the Bridge’ by Jacob Lawrence,” said Joyce Ice, director of the Art Museum of WVU. “The issues that it raises for our country are still relevant today. Issues of social justice, racial inequalities, racism and so forth are still relevant today.”

Lawrence chose to depict the March 7, 1965 march in Selma, Alabama after being commissioned in 1976 to create prints to celebrate the United States’ 200th anniversary.

During the event, participants positioned themselves on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and protested the denial of African Americans’ right to vote.

The print shows the malicious attack by law enforcement by representing the oppressors as a vicious dog on the left side of the bridge.

First Healthcare Simulation Week Celebrated by WVU STEPS

BY EMILY ZEKONIS CULTURE EDITOR A new style of learning for health care professionals is on display by The WVU Center for Simulation Training and Education for Patient Safety with the launch of the first Healthcare Simulation Week.

“This is a global celebration to recognize how simulation makes a difference in education for health care professionals,” said Dorian Williams, assistant dean for simulation and technology in medical education. “The main focus is to increase awareness of the technology. We want to let people know what it is, how it changes education and how it leads to safer health care.”

The inaugural Healthcare Simulation Week is an effort by the the Society of Simulation in Healthcare, a global society that promotes simulation as a form of education in the medical field. The society works and continues to develop technology in hopes to have simulation replace clinical practices.

“We are not the first industry to use simulation for education,” said Williams. “The

We see flight pilots and the military already using technology to educate. However, things are getting better and more realistic.”

The global initiative is being brought to Morgantown

by WVU’s STEPS, one of about 100 accredited simulation centers in practice. The center

will be celebrating Healthcare Simulation Week with a kickoff event on Sept. 12, tours of facility and faculty development sessions for WVU medical educators to learn how to use the technology with students.

STEPS provides health care students professionals with range of simulators and manikins that are able to bleed, cry and even give birth for

the perfection of highly complex medical procedures and situations.

“Simulation makes learner more confident,” Williams said. “The patient is the ultimate recipient of care and having practice with simulation allows for a happier, safer experience with their care.”

Although the campaign targets health care related majors, the simulation industry includes the support of a wide range of fields for success.

“Students in biomedical engineering, nursing, biology and exercise physiology will benefit from knowing about this technology,” said Williams. “Those in the theater department are used as actors and the makeup used on manikins to create wounds.

The technology side may interest engineering students, as engineers work with health care professionals on the mechanics of what each piece of technology.”

tion of Women Educators and the American Association of Blacks in Higher Education.

Art Up Close! occurs three times each semester with a piece of art that is not currently on display at the Art

Museum.

“The idea of the Art Up Close! program was to bring one work of art out to be the focus of the program so the people could see the individual work of art,” Ice said.

According to Ice, the program began in 2011 before the Art Museum opened in order to give people an opportunity to see the collection which, at the time, was in storage and not accessible.

“The idea was to bring one work of art out to be the focus of the program so the people could see the individual work, which is on an easel for the presentation,” Ice said. “And members of the faculty are invited to talk about the work of art of their own selection.”

Each presentation is different from the last, both due to the new viewpoint and separate piece of art chosen.

“A historian is going to look at it from a slightly different viewpoint from a music professor,” Ice said. “The idea is each of them would spend some time with the work of art and share their thoughts with the audience. We’ve had a geography professor look at a landscape painting and religious scholar look at a painting of a ceremony in Ethiopia.”

For students that have ideas for future speakers or are interested in volunteering with the facility, contact Director of the Art Museum Joyce Ice at joyce.ice@mail.wvu.edu.

Local rehabilitation center releases young turkey vulture

BY MARINA FERGUSON CORRESPONDENT The West Virginia Raptor Rehabilitation Center released Morticia, a juvenile turkey vulture who had been in their care since late July, on September 2..

A small group of volunteers from the center were present to see Morticia off. She was released at a site near the Marion County Vietnam Memorial in Fairmont, West Virginia.

Morticia was picked up by the Fairmont Police Department on July 31. Center volunteers joked that she was their only bird that had been detained.

The center is located in Fairmont and is run entirely by volunteers. Its goal is to care for sick or injured birds of prey and ultimately release them back into the wild.

“Some of our birds have incredible stories and have overcome serious issues,” said Jes-

“Some of our birds have incredible stories and have overcome serious issues,” -Jessica Valentine, West Virginia Raptor Rehabilitation Center volunteer sica Valentine, a volunteer at the center.

The WVRRC cares for all raptor species, including hawks, falcons, eagles, owls and vultures. Birds are most commonly admitted to the center due to injuries caused by moving cars.

Though the center hopes to see all birds in its care released into the wild, sometimes situations arise where birds cannot be released; in these cases, the birds are trained to be animal ambassadors.

“We travel around the state and attend events to teach the public about the birds and what to do if you encounter an injured one,” Valentine said.

A taste of Hawaii is hidden among the Appalachian hills

Cheat Lake may be a bit of a hike from downtown, but after a long weekend of enjoying everything Morgantown has to offer, a nice brunch may be all you need to get your week started the right way.

Tropics, located at 2500 Cranberry Square in the Cheat Lake area, has one of the best brunch specials on this side of the Appalachian mountains.

Home to the best smokedsalmon bagel outside of New York City, Tropics boasts not only great food but cheap and tasty drinks.

If you’re up on a Sunday morning and looking to continue the weekend that has just passed, Tropics is the place to go. Offering $1 mimosas and $3 Bloody Marys during their brunch hours, flocks of students make the 15-minute trip necessary in order to get a table before 2 p.m. A smoked salmon bagel and a couple of rounds of mimosas will run you about $15, which, for the quality of the food, is well worth it.

Another highlight of Tropics’s menu is their signature

Tropics’s Loaded Bloody Mary.

Loaded Bloody Mary, one of their most popular brunch drinks. Made of Tito’s vodka

and served with celery, pepperoncini, pickle, pepperoni, shrimp and bacon, the cock-

tail is truly a sight to be seen.

I spoke with Andrew King, a Tropics employee, who explained just how busy Tropics can get on a Sunday during brunch hours.

During my time at Tropics, it was relatively busy. However, we were able to get a seat and be served with no problem. The four-hour window between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays are, according to King, the restaurant’s busiest hours of the week.

King said that he serves a wide variety of Morgantown residents; locals, professors and students alike.

King has worked during the restaurant’s brunch hours every Sunday since he began working at Tropics as a waiter this past July.

“I serve more mimosas than anything else on Sundays, but the loaded bloodies are a huge hit too,” King said.

Whether you want to unwind after a weekend in Morgantown, or continue the weekend into Sunday, Tropics is the place to go for inexpensive drinks and great food.

YouTube gamers provide companionship to an isolating hobby Most Subscribed For a hobby in which enthusiasts spend a large amount of time alone, YouTube gaming channels provide a source of friendship to lonely gamers everywhere.

Going from a niche to a revenue generating powerhouse over the past couple years, professional YouTube gamers have taken the video-streaming site by storm, with the most popular getting millions of views every week. And those millions of views are quickly turned into millions of dollars via advertising.

The idea of watching someone else play video games — as opposed to just playing them yourself — might at first seem perplexing. However, these channels have multiple roles.

S o m e ga m e r s, l i k e 19-year-old history student Seth Marshall, use the channels to scope out potential purchases.

“Sometimes I’ll watch YouTube videos if I want to see how to beat a certain level or if I’m deciding to buy a certain game or not,” Marshall said. “But, if you’re just watching it to watch, that’s kind of lame unless the person playing is funny.”

5 Youtube

Gaming Channels:

1. PewDiePie - 57 million subscribers 2. VanossGaming - 27 million subscribers 3. VEGETTA777 - 19 million subscribers 4. Markiplier - 18 million subscribers 5. KSI - 17 million subscribers Humor is subjective, but even a generous critic would say many YouTube gamers don’t generally aim for subtlety with their jokes. Loud personalities, exaggerated emotions and crude language take the place of clever wit.

However, for a younger demographic, personalities like PewDiePie (57 million Youtube subscribers) and Markiplier (18 million) provide more than cheap entertainment. They provide a companion to an often isolating hobby.

For extremely young gamers, many of whom don’t have the team aspect of sports like pee wee football or clubs like Boy Scouts in their lives, a YouTube gamer can act as a friend through the digital screen, as well as providing a community of fans who share their interests.

Some gamers, like Bridgeport High School senior and Connect-Bridgeport Videogame Columnist Samuel Cale, use gamers both to inform and to entertain.

“They’ll give you good information and a laugh as a bo-

For those who don’t necessarily equate a loud voice and silly looking haircut with funny jokes, YouTube gaming channels might not be a go-to source of entertainment. But for younger gamers looking for a friend, they’re an in-

valuable resource.

“When I was in middle school I watched them all day,” said 17-year-old gamer and friend of Cale, Colin McFarland. “I feel it helped me understand social interaction without the pressure.”

WVU prepares for start of road trip

BY JACK TOLMAN CORRESPONDENT The WVU men’s soccer team (3-0-2) hits the road after a three-game home stretch to face the UMBC Retrievers (3-1-0).

With the last two games ending in scoreless draws for the Mountaineers, they look to spark their offense and end the scoring drought that currently plagues them.

The player to watch on offense is senior midfielder Jad Arslan, WVU’s top scorer, who scored four times in the first three games, but has struggled to put the ball in the net since.

While the offense has struggled to score, Head Coach Marlon LeBlanc doesn’t believe the offense itself is the issue, but rather their execution.

“We played well enough to win again tonight,” LeBlanc said following Saturday’s 0-0 draw against UCF. “Central Florida is a very good team and a tough team to break down, but we did break them down, we got behind them, we had shots, we had opportunities. We just weren’t clinical.”

The Mountaineers might not be scoring, but their opponents haven’t been either.

The team has allowed only one goal all season, which came in WVU’s largest victory, a 4-1 win over Wright State. Senior Goaltender Stephen Banick has been outstanding, with 15 saves on the season and four clean sheets in his five starts.

While the two draws in the home stretch were disappointments, LeBlanc remains

“I want to make sure I stay positive, because we did get another shutout, we still haven’t given up a goal in the run of play, our defending is excellent,” LeBlanc said.

Four out of the five starting defenseman for WVU have played at least 487 minutes of the 490 minutes so far this season, and that consistency has been key to the defense’s performance.

University of Maryland, Baltimore County is also off to an impressive start this season, winning their first two games at home, as freshman goaltender Ciaran O’Loughlin posted his first two career clean sheets.

On the road, the team’s defense struggled, allowing a goal against Monmouth and a whopping five goals against Villanova in the team’s only

loss of the season.

UMBC is balanced offensively, with no single player sticking out. The team’s points leader is sophomore midfielder Colin Weyant, with three points, while the Mountaineers have three players higher than that mark.

Nevertheless, the Retriever offense is still averaging two goals per game, and with a 3-1-0 record, there isn’t much

to complain about.

The Mountaineers and Retrievers met last season and finished the game with a 0-0 draw. With both team’s defenses starting the season off strong and the way the last two games have gone for WVU, a repeat of that score wouldn’t be a shock.

The game will likely be very defensive and could come down to who scores first.

Joel settles into new home in Morgantown

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER Known as one of the best recruiters in the country, WVU Head Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown has recruited talent from all over North America over the past several years.

Last year’s roster featured several members of the Canadian national team. This year, Izzo-Brown expanded her roster across the ocean, attracting new recruits from Australia and England.

Of these new recruits, Lois Joel is making a considerable impact on the West Virginia offense so far this year, despite the tough transition

“It’s always hard to be a freshman and acclimate and get a feel for college soccer, let alone, having an ocean in between your home” - Nikki Izzo-Brown to attending college on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean. The London native has tons of experience, most recently helping lead England to the U-17 European Championship semifinals and U-17 FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinals.

“It’s always hard to be a freshman and acclimate and

get a feel for college soccer, let alone, having an ocean in between your home,” Izzo-Brown said.

In addition to playing for England’s U-17 team, Joel was a member of Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC. She was also a member of Barnet’s cricket team and participated in the London Youth Games.

It took less than 30 minutes for Joel to see her first college action, subbing in against No. 5 Georgetown in a 1-0 win to open the season. Since then, Joel has played the most of any freshman on the team, averaging more than 32 minutes per game. Her offensive contributions finally paid off on

Sunday against Richmond in a match where Joel played a career-high 46 minutes.

With the Mountaineers leading 2-0, Joel executed a pass to Junior Sh’Nia Gordon, who fired a shot from outside the box that found the inside of the left post to extend West Virginia’s lead to the 3-0 final score. The assist marked the first point in what looks to be a promising career for Joel.

“There’s a lot that Lois gave us, even Friday night (in a loss to No. 11 Duke),” Izzo-Brown said. “So I’m excited to see her continuing to develop and help impact this program.”

With junior midfielder Vanessa Flores undergoing season-ending ACL reconstruc-

tive surgery last week, Joel could be receiving even more time in the upcoming weeks.

Seeing as how she has performed against some of the nation’s best defenses, Izzo-Brown is hopeful her play will only get better as the No. 3 Mountaineers take on Big 12 opponents. West Virginia is 29-0-2 against conference opponents since the move from the Big East in 2014.

As West Virginia makes another push for a College Cup run, these veterans could ultimately be bolstered by the true freshman who has spent her entire career playing on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean.

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR 1. Mountaineers drop in both polls Both WVU men’s and women’s soccer teams fell in the most recent United Soccer Coaches’ polls, released on Tuesday.

The men fell out of the rankings entirely following their second straight scoreless draw at the hands of UCF. Four of the Mountaineers’ opponents ended up ranked which included No. 6 Michigan State, No. 14 Pacific, No. 19 Bowling Green and No. 24 Western Michigan.

The women’s soccer team fell from third to sixth in the women’s United Soccer Coaches’ poll in response to their 4-0 loss to Duke on Friday.

Seven opponents of the Mountaineers ended up ranked, three of which were in the top 10. The teams included No. 4 Duke, No. 5 Virginia, No. 8 Penn State, No. 14 Oklahoma State, No. 18 Georgetown, No. 20 Princeton and No. 21 Texas.

2. Back-to-back scoreless draws for the first time since 2013 The WVU men’s soccer team’s 0-0 draw against UCF was their second in as many

games.

The match was the first time since the 2013 season, when the Mountaineers played to the same results against American and Western Michigan, played in two consecutive scoreless draws.

The Mountaineers finished the season 7-7-5 in 2013.

3. Shot output against Richmond most since 2006 The WVU women’s soccer team had their highest shooting output at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in 11 years in their 3-0 win over Richmond on Sunday.

The Mountaineers recorded 34 shots in the match, 17 of which were on goal.

“I thought we responded well today and were able to create a whole lot of chances,” WVU Head Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said after the game. “Unfortunately, I thought we should have finished a couple more.”

The standing record for shots at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium is 44 against Binghamton in 2006.

4. Izzo-Brown and company head to New Jersey to conclude non-conference schedule Following their 1-1 week against Duke and Richmond, the WVU women’s soccer

West Virginia is 1-1 against the Explorers and this will be the first match between the two teams outside of Morgantown.

5. Jad Arslan and the men’s soccer team begin DMV tour on Wednesday The Mountaineers will look to break their two-game scoreless streak when they begin their three-game Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area series on Wednesday.
