LaunchLab provides space for student business plans BY JANAE NEIGHBORS CORRESPONDENT

Starting a small business might sound daunting, even impossible, but the WVU LaunchLab gives students and faculty the resources to make it happen. The LaunchLab offers students the opportunity to pitch their ideas, receive feedback, network, brainstorm and even receive potential funding. “LaunchLab is the student resource center for new ideas, products and businesses,” said Carrie White, LaunchLab coordinator. “We collaborate across campus to help students find

what the need to take their ideas to the next level.” The Lab is comprised of a team of professionals, including a director, patent and trademark research librarian, chief innovation officer, faculty consultant, business coach, business and economics librarian and the WVU assistant vice president of entrepreneurship and innovation. While the exact amount of successful businesses or products that have went through the Lab is unknown, White said around 400 students have used it this school year. Some of the businesses and products that have

come through the Lab are in various stages of development. Some have been sold or merged, while others are still in the process of developing business models or are manufacturing in small amounts. Keith Heisler, an aerospace engineering student said the LaunchLab helped him find his passion for entrepreneurship. “A week before the West Virginia Business Plan Competition submission form was due I had an idea, so on a whim I threw together the submission and sent it,” Heisler said. “A month later I unexpectedly moved on to the semifinals. The Launch-

Lab was the first to reach out and offer assistance.” Heisler is currently a finalist in the competition. Marian Armour-Gemmen, LaunchLab’s patent and trademark research librarian has been working with the LaunchLab since it opened three years ago. “The students working with the LaunchLab work very hard to pursue their dream of making their business a reality. I am only happy to assist them,” Armour-Gemmen said. The LaunchLab is located in Evansdale Crossing. Call (304) 293-9391 or email Launchlab@mail.wvu.edu to set up an appointment.

WVU Philosophy professor asks The Question BY AMY PRATT CORRESPONDENT

WVU’s The Question asks students and community members to ponder philosophical questions such as “Should college be free?” or “Is mindfulness just a fad?” The Question, which can sometimes be seen hanging on a banner off the Stansbury walking bridge over Beechurst, is moderated by Dr. Sharon Ryan, a WVU associate professor of philosophy. Ryan began The Question after becoming philosophy department chair in 2004 to educate more people in WVU and the community about philosophy.

“Most people don’t take a philosophy class pre-college since it’s an unusual subject,” Ryan said. “I thought maybe one thing I should do as a chair is try to educate people about what philosophers do, what sort of questions do we ask.” Ryan started with asking elementary and middle school children philosophical questions, because if children can take on these deep questions it is less intimidating for adults. Ken Enoch is the technical supervisor for The Question and an administrative associate for WVU’s department of philosophy, religious studies and the humanities

programs. Ryan interviewed his step-daughter when she started interviewing children. “The question (Ryan) interviewed her for was ‘What is home?’ Since she came from a split family, she talked to her about whether she considered living in Morgantown her home, or living in Pennsylvania with her father her home and what constitutes a home. She was maybe 7 or 8 at the time and it was really interesting hearing some of her answers,” Enoch said. Ryan stepped down as chair of the philosophy department in 2010. In 2015 she created The Question blog, where students and others are encouraged to share

their thoughts on essays Ryan posts pondering various philosophical questions. Gabrielle Sellitti, a senior strategic communications student, helped Ryan set up the website and Facebook page. Sellitti also helps with interviewing and filming videos for the blog. Sellitti had Ryan for an intro philosophy course, which is how she got involved with The Question. “A lot of it just gets people more aware of big issues that you don’t usually think of throughout the day...” Sellitti said. “That’s why I liked it. I had a philosophy class two semesters ago. It really just helps you take a step back

in your life and realize that there are bigger things out there than what happens every day.” Ryan said she tries to connect current events and issues with deeper philosophical questions on the blog to get people to think deeper about their lives. “I often just think this question is interesting, or I’ll think of some current events and what’s the root question that we’re not asking here,” Ryan said. “For example, there’s a debate right now on how to deal with President Trump’s presidency. Some people are protesting it and other people are saying look this is a democracy... So, the

question is what is a democracy and what are our obligations in a democracy…” Other professors and departments sometimes collaborate with Ryan for questions. Ryan worked with yogis from Power Yoga Morgantown for a question connecting mindfulness and yoga. “I especially like when someone approaches me and says ‘Hey let’s work together!’ because that’s part of what I really like about the question,” Ryan said. “It provides me with an opportunity to meet new people and get our questions in the ears and minds of people who may not be in the philosophy department.”

Students act as secret shoppers for Dining Services BY TAYLOR AMBROSE STAFF WRITER

While it may seem like students are relaxing or doing homework while eating at campus dining halls, some may hold a secret agenda. WVU’s Dining Services began the Secret Shopper program three years ago as a way to receive critical feedback from the students they serve. This feedback is used to make constructive changes and advances to ensure that campus dining is the best experience possible. “We’ve seen all kinds of reviews —good and bad. Things kids like and things we need to work on. We appreciate the input,” said Stacy Carr, a dining employee at Hatfields. Students apply to be in the program at the beginning of the fall semester each year. If accepted, they will be emailed a voucher for a free meal and assigned

which dining hall or restaurant to review. “We get so many different cards here, we have no idea who is with the program. It could be anybody,” Carr said. “But that’s how you get the most honest reviews.” After their meal, students present online feedback rating the quality of food, waiting time, employee friendliness, establishment cleanliness and overall experience. Once submitted, this survey goes to four different people in the Dining Services management department, who then evaluate the feedback and decide if any major changes need to be made. “Typically, super dramatic changes aren’t made, just little things that keep employees and managers on their toes,” said Bryan Jarrell, public relations manager of Dining Services. One of the largest and most recent changes has

been the TV menus for the Summit Grab-and-Go. Many students did not know the food offerings or prices that the Grab-and-Go had to offer. Secret Shoppers recognized this and gave suggestions on how to improve it. Other changes are more subtle. “We pass on all feedback we get to our cashiers so we can improve customer service,” said Heather Cochran, Chick-fil-A manager. Each fall, WVU Dining Services sends out a MIX email, requesting students to apply to the program to contribute their voice. “We want detailed writers and people who are able to describe scenes well. They have to understand the importance of our program,” Jarrell said. “If they give us a thorough review, we will request them to do another one, and another one, and so on. We have students who have been in this program for a long time and are

LISTICLE 5 Tips for getting a good internship

It’s internship season. And if you don’t want to spend another summer waiting tables or walking dogs, you’ve got some work to do. Here are some tips:

. Use what you have First, stop in the Career Services Center in the Mountainlair. From cover letters to career fairs, they’re here to help you land the perfect summer gig or permanent job. On MountaineerTRAK you can search for jobs, internships, research employers, sign-up for on-campus interviews and ﬁnd the dates of career fairs. Last year more than 8,000 internships and full-time positions were posted on MountaineerTRAK. And to make it even easier, they have just rolled out a MountaineerTRAK app.

. Write a killer cover letter The most important thing to remember about a cover letter is that employers want to know what you can do for them, not what they can do for you. -Don’t write: “This position will help me in my efforts to secure a job in your industry in the future.” -Write: “My experience selling magazine subscriptions last summer and the classes I have taken this year have prepared me to be a valuable asset to your sales staff.” And don’t write an all-purpose cover letter. “Customize every resume to the specific job,” advises Sarah Glenn associate director of the Career Center. “Recruiters want to know how your skills and experiences align with their particular needs.”

. Make your resume sing Don’t want to frighten you but recruiters spend 10 seconds—or less—with each resume. That means you have to have a well-crafted, error-free resume that screams “HIRE ME.” Glenn says the best thing resume writers can do is be speciﬁc about their accomplishments. - Don’t write: “Managed social media.” - Write: “Created and managed Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts that resulted in a 15 percent increase in traﬃc to the site over three months.” - Don’t write: Helped manage children at summer camp - Write: Responsible for the safety of and led activities for more than 250 children ages 5 to 14 You get the picture, you want to quantify.

. Have an online presence If potential employers search you online and only see those questionable photos from the Halloween party, you need an image update. Create a LinkedIn account, change your privacy settings on Facebook and if you have clips, art or projects you want employers to see, showcase them on your own website. You will be Googled, be prepared.

. Attend workshops and hiring events Get out your calendar and pencil in these February dates: Career Fair PREP Week: Feb. 6-9, Events throughout the week include resume reviews on Feb. 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Feb. 9 noon to 3 p.m. in the Mountainlair Professional Head Shot Booths: Feb. 6, 7, 15, 16, and 27, Various times and locations WVU Career and Internship Fair: Feb. 15 and 16, 10 a.m to 3 p.m., Mountainlair Ballroom

Trump’s travel ban is un-American, unfair and unfounded BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

In our Jan. 11 issue we asked how people felt about restricted immigration based on religion. At the time the question was because new pick for Attorney General Jeff Sessions argued the idea on the senate floor for more than 20 minutes. The responses are relevant now however because it has become a reality. “I think restricting certain people of a religion from entering the country is very hypocritical from what was first instilled into the country,” said sophomore Nadiva Sutton. “We have extremists here too, they are in all religions,” said sophomore Erika Hunter. “Why does it matter what religion they have? They are still humans. They still deserve to be here just as much as everybody else,” said senior Aje Douglas. While Trump’s executive order signed Friday doesn’t deny immigrants’ entrance to America based on their religion, it does ban immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. Along with this, the order blocks all refugee’s admission to the country through May. And all this comes only one year after admitting a record number of Muslim refugees in 2016. Trump’s order outlined that immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen are

banned from entry to the United States for 90 days. Trump said immigrants from those seven countries “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. And I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order.” But why target these seven places? What can countries do to avoid making this restrictive list? For starters, doing business with Trump himself seems to be a great way to avoid immigration restriction. Turkey has seen numerous terrorist attacks in the last few months, with a nightclub attack on Dec. 31 killing at least 39 people. The White House has specifically warned travelers about the area citing, “an increase in anti-American rhetoric has the potential to inspire independent actors to carry out acts of violence against US citizens.” Add to this the fact that Turkey is a Muslim-majority population and it seems like it would fit Trump’s bill as discriminable. But it isn’t included. Trump has earned more than $6 million in Turkey as of his 2015 financial disclosure form, according to the Washington Post. Russia has seen brutal human rights violations when it comes to the LGBTQ community, a major factor in the countries that did make this list. In Russia homosexual-

Izzy Berdan, of Boston, center, wears an American flags as he chants slogans with other demonstrators during a rally against President Donald Trump’s order that restricts travel to the U.S., Sunday, Jan. 29, 2017, in Boston. Trump signed an executive order Friday, Jan. 27, 2017 that bans legal U.S. residents and visa-holders from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S. for 90 days and puts an indefinite hold on a program resettling Syrian refugees.

“Why does it matter what religion they have? They are still humans. They still deserve to be here just as much as everybody else.” -Aje Douglas, senior WVU student ity was illegal until 1993, and was even deemed a mental illness until 1999. Its leader also ordered an influence campaign assisting Donald Trump and discrediting Hillary Clinton during the National Election according to the FBI and CIA, a direct attack on democracy.

But Russia also isn’t included. While the picks deserve criticism, the executive order to block immigrants from specific countries itself is an unprecedented and overreaching move. It’s arbitrary, volatile, and oppressive, regardless of how bad Trump

wants to stick to campaign promises. Under the federal discrimination laws, one cannot be denied rights or privileges based on national identity, religion, disability, age, gender, race and/or skin color. Why is this okay based on country of origin? We are a nation of immigrants. While Trump didn’t deny this aspect of the discussion, to disproportionately apply immigration restriction based on religion and nation-

ality has our Founding Fathers spinning in their graves. More than this, though, it pretends that by arriving here first we are more entitled to the country than anyone else. For those confused on how this might be a bad thing, picture the settlers of Jamestown putting together some text on a page that declared “now that we’re here, no more.” Imagine if the natives who were here long before them had done the same.

Local author to host book signing Tuesday BY AVERY LYONS CORRESPONDENT

Local author Patricia Harman will be hosting a book signing to promote her newest novel The Runaway Midwife, coming out Jan. 31. Harman has written two acclaimed historical novels set in West Virginia, The Midwife of Hope River and The Reluctant Midwife, a USA Today bestseller. The Runaway Midwife is her first contemporary novel. The Runaway Midwife tells the story a midwife

living in a small town in West Virginia who, following a breakdown, decides to run away to a small Canadian island to reinvent herself as a reclusive writer. However, the protagonist realizes that no matter how far away she runs, she can’t hide from her past. In an interview with mothering.com, Harman addresses the common themes of life’s difficulties and the importance of perseverance in her many books. “Hope means there is

a severe storm when all seems lost, if you can hold out, it will shine on

you again. It is a central theme for me because I think we live in a troubled world and we need to be reminded when things are hard to not give up.” In the last 10 years, Patricia Harman has written two memoirs, three novels and a children’s chapter book. Harman draws the inspiration for the common theme in her novels from her own experience as a nurse midwife for 35 years. She got her start as a midwife by attending homebirths on communal

farms, first in Washington, Conn., and northern Minnesota and then in West Virginia, where she was a founding member of the West Virginia Cooperative of Midwives. “Some people are destined,” Harman said on her website. “I was staying at a woman friend’s commune when she went into labor and I ended up delivering my first baby.” The book signing will be at 6 p.m. on Jan. 31 at the Barnes and Noble in University Town Center.

MONDAY JANUARY 30, 2017

Beating the Winter Blues A look at local ski resorts, activities and other ideas on how to enjoy winter in Morgantown and the surrounding area Year round, Morgantown is in a prime location —only a few hours from some of the nation’s premier cities, including New York, Washington D.C., Cleveland and Baltimore. During the winter, Morgantown becomes even more convenient, as its Appalachian locale provides easy access to multiple ski and snow boarding resorts. As the temperature (finally) starts to

drop, and the inches of snow begin to add up, these slopes allow visitors to blow off some steam, despite the cold weather. While the drives may seem daunting for some of these places, getting out of Morgantown can be the breath of fresh air some people need to survive the winter blues. Here is a list of some of the best, most accessable resorts to help you do just that:

Morgantown

The top five ski resorts to visit near Morgantown 1. Snowshoe Mountain Lift tickets: Monday-Thursday: $79, Friday-Sunday: $99 Address: 10 Snowshoe Drive, Snowshoe, WV 26209 Snowshoe is one of the most popular resorts in West Virginia all seasons, year-round. Even though it’s more than two hours from Morgantown, and pricier, many would argue the nightlife, which features the Comedy Cellar, is worth it.

MAP BY ANDREW SPELLMAN

There are five ski resorts all within a few hours of Morgantown. Check out our list for more information.

4. Wisp

2. Timberline Four Seasons

Lift Tickets: Sunday-Friday $29-59, Saturday $59-79 Address: 296 Marsh Hill Road, McHenry, MD 21541

Lift tickets: Monday-Thursday $44-$54, Friday $44-$60, Saturday-Sunday $45-$74 Address: 254 Four Seasons Drive, Davis, WV 26260

Wisp is the closest ski resort to Morgantown. It’s only about 40 miles east in McHenry, MD and is one of the cheapest. Aside from skiing and snowboarding, the resort also offers tubing, snowshoeing, ice skating and more.

At about 70 miles southeast in Davis, WV, Timberline offers some of the cheapest lift tickets, and its website features a list of events for the season, including various performers.

3. Canaan Valley

5. Seven Springs Mountain

Lift tickets: Midweek $40-$45, Weekends $55-$62 Address: 230 Main Lodge Road, Davis, WV 26260

Lift Tickets: Monday-Thursday $58-64,$77-83 Address: 777 Water Wheel Dr, Champion, PA 15622

Close to Timberline in Davis, WV, Canaan Valley is also fairly cheap, but if you’d rather stay away from the slopes, their ice skating rink overlooks the valley and Allegheny Mountains right next to an outdoor fireplace.

Located in Champion, PA, Seven Springs is the second closest to Morgantown, at only about 60 miles northeast. If you’re looking to make your trip a weekend getaway, the resort also offers a spa, with massages, facials and hydrotherapy.

Baby it’s warm inside If the outdoors aren’t your cup of tea, then here are six ideas on how to enjoy winter while staying out of the snow and avoiding freezing temperatures. Learn to crochet/knit Check out Pinterest or Youtube for tutorials, but make sure you know what you’re looking for before you head to Michaels. Materials are inexpensive and you’ll have something to keep you cozy next time you make the hike across campus.

Watch the new movies being added to Netflix Magic Mike, Finding Dory, The Blair Witch Project and Sausage Party will all be added this month, along with many more.

Read a new book without leaving your couch You might not want to venture out into the cold, but WVU Libraries offers eBooks you can check out online. You can also download Kindle for Mac or PC, and buy a book through Amazon.

Make something from ingredients you already have Unless Ramen and ketchup is all you have left, MyFridgeFood.com helps you find a recipe based on what you already have in your fridge.

Reset the feng shui in your apartment Now that you’re trapped inside, it might be a good time to clean out the clothes you haven’t worn all season and throw out last semesters papers that you’ll never look at again.

WINTER BLUES | 9

Top shows to binge-watch from your couch When it gets to be as cold as it has been the last few days, sometimes it’s hard to motivate yourself to get outside and socialize. Don’t worry, we know how you feel—sometimes the only option is to bundle up on the couch with a blanket or six and binge watch a TV show (or six). Here is a list of some options to keep your browsing down to a minimum and your relaxation to the maximum for when the winter blues keep you couch-bound:

1. House of Cards With today’s political landscape (tense, as we think most would say) House of Cards resonates scarily well. Through Kevin Spacey’s unnerving narrative, the drama and suspense will keep you on the tip of your seat. With four seasons, 13 episodes each, there are more than enough episodes to keep you going through a long weekend of negative temps. Available on: Netflix

2. 30 Rock If you’re a fan of Saturday Night Live, or absolutely anything created or produced by alumni of the comedy power house (including Will Ferrel, Amy Poehler, Adam Sandler, the list goes on), you MUST watch 30 Rock. Tina Fey brilliantly brings to screen a comedic telling of the backstage antics of a sketch comedy show with some of the weirdest characters in modern television. The TV show is literally jam packed with jokes, averaging about 7.5 a minute, according to the Atlantic. With seven seasons (138 episodes) that averages out to about 31,050 jokes for your viewing pleasure. Get ready to laugh. Available on: Netflix

3. Veronica Mars So Kristen Bell is almost a household name now, but her success with movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Frozen should not overshadow her early career highs, like that of Veronica Mars. The modern-noir is something of its own genre almost, with Bell staring as title character Veronica Mars, a high school junior working with her father as a private investigator to solve her best friend’s murder. It may sound a little campy, but this show can get dark. While there are only three seasons, each follows a new, equally desolate mystery that will suck you in. Available on: Amazon Prime

4. The Oﬃce

Plan your Spring Break trip We haven’t even approached midterms yet, but to give you some hope, Spring Break is just over a month away. Though many have already started, this is a good time to make those last minute reservations before rates get too high.

If you haven’t actually seen The Office, chances are you still know the title characters and may be able to even quote a bit when your friends get going. This show is beyond popular, but there is a good reason for that. It’s just feel-good hilarious, and it is so quotable it puts Mean Girls to shame. With nine seasons, there are some slower points plot wise, but the jokes and the entertainment stay consistent enough to steal your attention. Available on: Netflix

With two internships lined up, junior Rocky Coble has big plans for his future in accounting. He’s an accounting major from West Friendship, Maryland. This spring he is interning with Arnett Carbis Toothman here in Morgantown and this summer he will intern for Clifton Larson Allen in Arlington, Virginia. He’s a member of Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity, a member of the WVU student investment club and a participant in the College of Business and Economics job-shadowing program. He eventually want to work with his cousin to take over his aunt’s accounting and business consulting practice in Howard County, Maryland. He’s very inspired by his family and knowing that in the future he will be well financially minded and able to help others in that field. After he graduates in December of 2017, he plans on going for his master’s in tax accounting and becoming a Certified Public Accountant.

From Wheeling, West Virginia, junior Mckenzie Rodgers knows exactly what she wants to do with her future. She’s an English and Multidisciplinary studies major. You can often times catch her with a book and a cup of black coffee in her hands. She loves all things satire. She’s a member of WVU Pre-legal society and WVU Philosophy club and vice president of foundation within her sorority. Some of her biggest role models are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elle Woods, and Tina Fey. After college she plans to attend law school and hopefully go into criminal law. One day she would like to become either a defense attorney or work for an innocence project.

After volunteering at the UPMC cancer center for four years in high school she knew she wanted to help people. Junior Ashley Wissinger is a chemical engineering major with a minor in biomedical engineering. She’s a member of Delta Gamma fraternity and in her two and a half years as an active sister has become very involved. She’s held positions as director of alumni relations, vice president of ﬁnance and director of rituals. She’s also a member of the Society of Women Engineers. This passed summer she interned with Mylan in hopes of getting into the healthcare business. After sitting with patients for hours every week after school, she couldn’t bear to watch anyone else suffer. Her ultimate goal after college is to ﬁnd a cure for some of the awful diseases in this world. She wants to create new medicine to help improve people’s quality of life.

Dedication, work ethic molds Carter into leader BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL With wins over three top 10 teams this season, the WVU men’s basketball team has established itself as good enough to hang with the nation’s very best—and at the head of the charge is junior point guard, Jevon Carter. Averaging career highs in every single statistical category, Carter has broken out as one of the Big 12’s top stars this season. He’s WVU’s go-to guy in the big moment, the no-nonsense, all-action leader. And to Mountaineer head coach Bob Huggins, Carter’s success is no surprise: his point guard works so hard that his success is cosmically ordained. “He deserves it,” Huggins said. “(Assistant coach) Billy (Hahn) talks about ‘basket-

ball gods.’ That you can’t cheat the basketball gods. That if you cheat the game, the basketball gods are going to get you. Well, he’s had a pretty good year, he’s been very consistent because he deserves it.” Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 200 pounds, Carter is far from an imposing physical specimen and lacks topend athleticism. He came from a prep program with a strong basketball tradition—Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois, which has produced a number of NBA players—but wasn’t recognized as a great talent by recruiting services and was recruited mainly by mid-major programs. He then found himself forced to switch to a new position after finding his way to WVU, the only power conference school to offer him a scholarship. But Carter, who said his father raised him to constantly spend extra

time in the gym, has managed to work himself into being one of the Big 12’s best point guards. Carter has primarily worked on attacking the basket and playmaking over the past year, and Huggins says that he spends more time in the gym than anyone else on the team—a work ethic that’s partially born out of simply not wanting to be idle. “I mean, I don’t really have anything to do,” Carter said. “I do my schoolwork, and after that, I have the whole day to myself. I came here to play basketball, so why not try to be as good as I can be?” Carter has also found a kindred spirit in senior guard James Long, a little-used reserve whom Huggins says is the only player who spends as much time in the gym as he does. Over the summer, Carter and Long engaged in a contest of who could put up more practice shots per day—a contest

that Long always won, but one that Huggins said illustrated a commitment to improve that he compared to a former NBA lottery pick. “Back in the old days, in this place (the WVU Coliseum), you had volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics and graduations and everything going on, so Joe Alexander had a blow-up mat he put in the locker room so when all that stuff got out of there, he could go in and put his shots up, get his workout in,” Huggins said. “JC puts that kind of time in. He deserves it. The guys that aren’t in the gym don’t deserve it.” Unlike Alexander, Carter doesn’t need to schedule his workouts around who’s occupying the Coliseum. WVU opened a $24 million practice facility in 2012 that Carter has round-theclock access to. Countless hours on that court have helped Carter aver-

RYAN ALEXANDER / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU guard Jevon Carter brings the ball up court during the Mountaineer’s contest against Oklahoma on Jan. 18. 2017 at the Coliseum age team-highs in points (12.2 per game) and assists (4.7) and is fifth in the nation in steals per game with an even 3.0. But Carter shuns individual attention and ignores awards, and says that he doesn’t care about his statistics, even a recent spate of rebounding that has seen him grab nearly 10 per

game over the past two weeks. It’s one of the byproducts of that commitment to the game —the only statistic that matters to him is wins. “It’s just that drive to win,” Carter said. “I play to win every game and when it’s crunch time, that’s when you need it the most.”

WVU routs Virginia Tech for third straight win BY PATRICK KOTNIK SPORTS WRITER

HOCKEY The WVU club hockey team turned a fast start into an overall dominating performance against Virginia Tech, defeating the Hokies 9-2 for a third consecutive win. It didn’t take long for the Mountaineers to draw first blood as junior forward and assistant captain Vince Fornes netted a goal less than a minute into the game. Goals by freshman forward

Sebastian Thomas and junior defenseman Brennen Adams extended WVU’s lead to 3-0 with 13:07 to go in the first period. Virginia Tech answered back with a goal of its own by Nathan Taylor on a power play with 24 seconds left in the first period to cut its deficit to two goals Despite what seemed like a fast start by the Mountaineers, head coach AJ Sturges believed the team’s intensity was lacking. “I thought the first period we were sloppy and not really playing at the level that I like to see,” Sturges said. “We needed to really crank up the intensity. I thought

we were pretty lackadaisical even though we got out to a 3-0 lead.” From there the Mountaineers took over the game. WVU would extend its lead to 4-1 with a goal by sophomore forward Eric Keefe on a power play. The Hokies then cut their deficit back to two with a goal by Doug MacDonald on a power play with 7:12 left in the second period. MacDonald’s goal would be the last time the Hokies would see the net all night as WVU closed out the second period with goals by freshman forward Alex Ventura and Thomas to extend its

lead to 6-2 going into the second intermission. WVU kept its foot on the gas pedal in the third period as the team netted three more goals. Goals were scored by freshman forward Austin Czartorski, sophomore forward Austin Crane and Thomas again for his first collegiate hat-trick to bring the score to 9-2 in favor of the Mountaineers. The Mountaineer offense has rattled off during the three-game win streak, which has built the unit’s confidence as well as generate more scoring chances, evidenced in Saturday’s win.

“I thought we scored some nice goals around the net,” Sturges said. “I think it does a lot for an offense to see some of those pucks go in.” WVU now improves to 1213 on the season and is hitting its stride coming down the final stretch of the regular season. The three-game win streak as well as a big win against rival Pitt earlier this month is helping the Mountaineers produce more team wins, build more confidence and focus on what they need to do in order to be successful as they look to clinch a spot in the postseason.

“The focus is high,” Sturges said. “I think guys are really buying into what they need to do to be successful and playing a team game because down the stretch, guys get dinged up or we need certain people to step up and I think the focus is very high right now.” As far as the postseason goes, WVU is still alive, but with the numerous scenarios on how the team could clinch a playoff spot, the task remains simple: win. “We got to win,” Sturges said. “We are absolutely in control of our own destiny for the playoffs and we got to win.”

WVU must avoid late-game letdowns by Chris Jackson, Sports Editor Old ways resurfaced in WVU’s close win over Texas A&M on Saturday. A win is a win, reflecting a better overall record than when the team entered the game. However, it wasn’t a victory the team was too thrilled about, watching all the same pitfalls resurface. One of those pitfalls was letting off the gas pedal, nearly allowing another sizeable lead slip away in the final minutes of the contest. “We’re disappointed with the way we played, obviously,” said WVU senior forward Nate Adrian. “It should’ve been a much better win, but it’s a win. Can’t take that away.” The Mountaineers held a double-digit lead with 1:32 remaining, likely cruising to their second straight victory and 17th overall. But that wasn’t the case, as Texas A&M

“I’ve seen too many leads disappear. We came out in the second half and didn’t play with any intensity… Pretty much everything we talked about came to fruition.” - Bob Huggins, Head Coach stormed back, converting open shots on defensive miscues and honing in on WVU’s mistakes. It would take two free throws from Esa Ahmad—who struggled from the charity stripe all afternoon—to seal the game with five seconds remaining. Although he made both, it was an all-too-familiar site for this bunch. WVU previously surrendered a 15-point lead against Oklahoma nearly two weeks ago and squandered down the stretch against Kansas State the following contest. Talk about familiar. “I’ve seen too many leads disappear,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “We came out in the second half and didn’t play with any intensity… Pretty much everything we talked about came to fruition.” The frustration is evident for a team that is capable of playing/defeating anyone in the country (just look at the wins over the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams this year). But why does it keep happening and resurfacing in a number of games recently? Players cited a loss of focus and letting their minds wan-

der. There were missed free throws as the team finished with a 52 percent mark. Senior forward Brandon Watkins said he nearly suffered a heart attack as he watched it all unfold. “Huggs got on us about it,” Watkins said. “We really just have to stick with it and just keep our minds in the game. After awhile people’s minds just want to go.” Now it’s onto not allowing the same issues to haunt them in the future. Maintaining consistency, a highlevel of intensity and effort are key in averting potential debacles. Learning from mistakes will go a long way, but how does WVU keep the same troubles from developing again? “It’s just finishing out games,” Adrian said. “We’ve got to play a full 40 (minutes). You can’t only play 30 or so minutes.”

Big 12 Power Rankings BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

MEN’S BASKETBALL 1. Kansas (19-2, 7-1 Big 12) Last week: No. 1 Despite falling at WVU in Morgantown for the fourth straight year, the Jayhawks responded with an impressive 79-73 victory at No. 4 Kentucky. Freshman Josh Jackson showed why he’s bound to be a top five pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, picking up his fifth double-double (20 points, 10 rebounds). The gauntlet doesn’t get any easier as a first place showdown looms against Baylor. 2. Baylor (18-1, 7-1 Big 12) Last week: No. 2 Jonathan Motley shined with 25 points and nine rebounds in a 65-61 victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday. The Bears then rallied from a 10-point deficit at Ole Miss to win their fifth straight game. Continuing that streak by topping Kansas

on the road—who has won 50 straight at Allen Fieldhouse—would propel them into first place. 3.WestVirginia(17-4,5-3Big12) Last week: No. 4 With an 85-69 victory over No. 2 Kansas, the Mountaineers became the first team since 2011-12 (Indiana) to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the same season. They also survived with a four-point victory over Texas A&M on Saturday. A trip to Iowa State is up next. 4. Iowa State (13-7, 5-3 Big 12) Last week: No. 5 Led by 25 points from Matt Thomas, the Cyclones earned a 70-65 victory over Kansas State. However, they were upset by Vanderbilt in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, ending the two-game win streak. The toughest week of the season is now upon them, facing West Virginia and Kansas in back-to-back contests.

5. Kansas State (15-6, 4-4 Big 12) Last week: No. 3 A week removed from a huge win over then-No. 7 West Virginia, the Wildcats suffered two straight defeats at Iowa State and Tennessee. They struggled offensively in both contests, failing to surpass a 40 percent field goal mark. 6. Texas Tech (15-6, 3-5 Big 12) Last week: No. 6 Following consecutive defeats to Oklahoma State and Baylor, Texas Tech bounced back with a 77-64 victory over LSU. Zach Smith scored a game-high 25 points on 8-of10 shooting, also hauling in 10 rebounds. 7. Ok. State (13-8, 2-6 Big 12) Last week: No. 10 Don’t let the record tell the entire story as Brad Underwood’s bunch is beginning to find its groove after losing six in a row to begin conference play. Saturday’s 99-71 rout of Arkansas marked its third straight win, becoming

one of the hottest teams in the Big 12. 8. TCU (14-7, 3-5 Big 12) Last week: No. 7 Jamie Dixon’s squad has now lost four straight, topped off with defeats against Oklahoma State and Auburn. The road doesn’t get any easier with a trip to Kansas State on Wednesday. 9.Oklahoma (8-12, 2-6 Big 12) Last week: No. 8 This team does hold an overtime win at West Virginia, but the Sooners have since lost three straight, including a 32-point loss against No. 25 Florida. They return to action in the Bedlam Game, set to face a surging Oklahoma State team. 10. Texas (8-13, 2-6 Big 12) Last week: No. 9 Despite Andrew Jones’ game-winning three to beat Oklahoma, Texas has lost six of its last seven. It will look to get back on track this week against Texas Tech and TCU.
