Diviney’s father, friend files suit By Charles young Associate City Editor

Ken Diviney, the father of former West Virginia University student Ryan Diviney, along with Brian McLhinney, a close friend of Ryan’s, have filed a civil suit in connection with the 2009 beating that left Ryan in a comatose state and McLhinney injured. The lawsuit, filed in Monongalia County Circuit Court, names Austin Vantrease, Jonathan

May, Colin McKeefery, Brandon Groux, Tyler Husfelt and Alexander Woods as defendants. According to the suit, other individuals could be named later. Ryan and McLhinney were attacked at approximately 3:10 a.m. on Nov. 7, 2009, near the North Willey Street Dairy Mart in Morgantown. The altercation resulted from an argument about the World Series, according to police reports. May and Vantrease were convicted for their roles in the

attack. May was released after serving less than one year in prison at the North Central Regional Jail for battery and lives in Delaware, according to the lawsuit. Vantrease is currently serving a two to ten year sentence for felony malicious assault at North Central Regional Jail. His request to be transferred to a correctional facility or released on parole was denied this summer. After their convictions, both

May and Vantrease were ordered to pay restitution to the Diviney family. According to Ken, neither attacker has made any attempt to do so. “They haven’t shown any goodwill,” Diviney said. “They haven’t paid a cent of courtordered restitution. They’ve made no efforts to help. Sadly, they show no remorse. These men have an obligation to my son and family.” Ken said he felt he was forced to file the lawsuit, say-

ing he was out of options. The lawsuit alleges Vantrease and May “willfully and/ or maliciously” caused Ryan’s severe injuries, and McKeefery, Groux, Husfelt and Woods “substantially encouraged” the physical altercation and prevented Ryan from escaping. According to video evidence shown during the criminal trials of May and Vantrease, Ryan attempted to back away and leave the scene prior to the attack.

Dogs and their owners take the plunge for no-kill shelter Despite inclement weather, more than 300 dog owners brought their dogs to the annual “Dog Day in the Pool” event Sunday afternoon at Marilla Pool. The event was hosted by the Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia and raised money for Morgantown’s only no-kill animal shelter.

Officials confirm no concert at stadium By Mackenzie Mays City EDitor

Despite talks of a proposed concert to be held for the first time at Milan Puskar Stadium this fall, West Virginia University spokesman John Bolt said the concert will not happen due to scheduling conflicts. “We were unable to get everything pulled together far enough ahead of time in order to hold the concert at the stadium,” Bolt said. University officials met with the state fire marshal this summer to discuss safety regulations for the concert. In July, the Associated Press

reported that State Fire Marshall Sterling Lewis Jr. confirmed up to 6,000 people could safely stand on Mountaineer Field during the concert, while other seating would be available in the 60,000 seat stadium. “We just weren’t able to get all the pieces together in time. Necessary discussions with the marshal pushed us back, and it was all dependent on the artists’ availability,” Bolt said. But, plans for concert events on the field are still in the works, he said. “We absolutely still want to have events within the stadium. We are still working for

a concert on the field at a later date,” Bolt said. No University officials confirmed the rumors that country artists Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood were the artists scheduled to perform. “Brad Paisley would obviously be someone who would want to do something like this,” said Ali Daly, public relations specialist for WVU Arts & Entertainment. “It wasn’t able to get worked out this time around, but I’m sure in the future we’ll continue to look at it as an option.”

@BelmonteMMA Mountaineer Field concert sounds amazing!

@JakeRuddle A concert at Mountaineer Field would be legendary

@RyanDGreen I feel like it’d only be a good idea if its a big enough act to fill the entire stadium.

@tjespina It would be a great source of revenue for WVU. It’s a great idea!

According to an eyewitness, Vantrease then kicked Ryan in the head “like punting a football.” Ken said his son remains in a coma-like state at their Ashburn, Va., home, where he requires round-the-clock care.

Within hours of Tuesday’s 5.9 earthquake, about 200 West Virginia University students signed up to receive emergency text alerts. Officials plan to test the University emergency alert system today at 10 a.m. in hopes of increasing its 9,000 person registration list. “The key to getting the alert to be as effective as possible is getting people to sign up,” said University Police Chief Bob Roberts. The system is activated to warn students via text message whenever their safety is at risk, whether that be due to a hostage situation, inclement weather or some sort of man-made disaster. “One of the big things we do is put out closures during the winter,” Roberts said. “But if we were to have a man-made disaster, like an explosion, we have messages already set up to be sent out.” Texts will advise students to take the necessary precautions depending on the situation, such as to evacuate or to move to designated shelters. “We only use the system when it’s absolutely needed. We try not to overwhelm the

ALERT TEST TODAY The university will test the text alert system today at 10 a.m. students so it doesn’t lose its impact,” Roberts said. “Once the officer on the scene gets the sufficient information to know what we have, that’s when the decision is made as to whether or not we need to send a text alert.” John Bolt, WVU spokesman, said the system is the most effective way to reach the student body instantly. “It’s really the only way to get the news to the students fast no matter where they are,” Bolt said. “Everyone has a cell phone, and this way, the alert is in their back pocket.” Once the alert is sent, the message will be broadcast on the 75 information stations across campus, said director of Web Services Cathy Orndorff. “When the text alert is triggered, it sends an RSS feed over to the digital signage, which also automatically feeds the message onto all of the screens throughout the

Elizabeth A. Dooley has been named Interim Dean of the College of Human Resources & Education. Dooley, who replaced Dee Hopkins, took over as interim dean on Aug 15. “I am looking forward to working with the great faculty and staff here at the College of Human Resources & Educa- Elizabeth Dooley tion and to the matriculation of our students and their success,” Dooley said. “I just want to continue the success already happening here at the college and optimize it.” Dooley said she believes it is important to strengthen West Virginia’s K-12 classrooms and other areas within human resources be-

Corey Smith entertains audience at CAC by elizabeth finley a&e correspondent

Country recording artist Corey Smith performed a concert at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Saturday night. P.J. Spaur, a WVU graduate student, has been a fan of Smith for two years. “It was definitely a good show,” Spaur said. This was Spaur’s second time seeing Smith, the first time was when he performed last spring at the Mountain Stage located in Charleston, W.Va. “(Smith) is an awesome upand-coming artist who’s really fighting for main stream,” Spaur said. The audience reacted very positively to the performance. Both the opener and main acts had people up and out of their seats, dancing and clapping along to the music. Cody Mullens, a junior engineering student, was new to Smith’s music. “This was my first time seeing Corey Smith. I really enjoyed his music, and I think we’ll hear more of him in the mainstream soon,” Mullins said. The opening act for Corey Smith was singer/song-writer

Canaan Smith, who first got his claim to fame on Amazing Race. Canaan is relatively new to the country scene, but the crowd enjoyed the vibe he brought and the anticipation he built for the main act. “Everyone’s here to see Corey, but Canaan Smith was really good, too,” Mullens said. Canaan is from Nashville, TN and this was his first time performing in West Virginia. He will have his first single released soon, titled “The End of Tonight.” Corey has been singing and writing songs since 2003 when he released his first album, “Undertones.” Since then Smith has released six albums in total, his most recent in June of 2011, titled “The Broken Record.” Corey grew up in Jackson County, Ga., and was heavily influenced by music throughout his childhood. Majoring in social studies education, the only outlet Corey had with music before his career was performing for friends at parties and other outings, but their positive feedback and influences drove him to the career he has today. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Fairy tale play ‘Into the Woods’ showcases David Selby by christina gutierrez a&E writer

Friday night marked the opening night of the Morgantown Theatre Company’s performance of the Broadway hit “Into the Woods.” The play has been a sensation for a number of years. It is an original script including most of the fairy tales we have all grown familiar with, including “Cinderella,” “Rapunzel,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and Little Red Riding Hood. The twist in “Into the Woods” is that all of the char-

acters are intertwined and meet somewhere along their individual journeys while traveling into the woods. The performance showcased the talented student and alumni of the MTC, with a special appearance from Morgantown’s very own David Selby. “Selby is probably the most famous person to come out of Morgantown,” said Johanna Stewart, MTC president. The Morgantown native played a duel roles, acting as both the narrator and the allknowing Mysterious Man.

His flare for acting shone through, but the real stars of the night were the incredible MTC students and graduates. Frederica Dooley-Brown, who took on the role of Jack’s mother, spoke and sang as if she were born for the role. Her talented performance was matched by almost every member of the cast. Ry Garlow, who took on the role as the baker committed himself to the part fully, according to his father, John Garlow, who was also a member of the cast. “It’s weird to see the per-

‘Pride’ performs pregame for Mingo County by elizabeth finley a&e correspondent

The “Pride of West Virginia,” the Mountaineer marching band, traveled to Mingo County Friday evening to start the 2011 season. The marching band performed for the season opening football game of the newly opened Mingo County High School. The MCHS faculty members along with members of the community wanted the “Pride” to be the first to perform on their new football field. Friday morning, the band left on nine buses for five hours to Mingo County. “They gave us a very warm welcome,” said Alex Martin, a sophomore business major. “When we entered the stadium, everyone was very excited to see us.” When the state outline of West Virginia was formed on the football field during the performance, members of the “Pride” who were from Southern West Virginia stepped out of rank and waved at the crowd before falling back in line to finish the show with the West Virginia University fight song, “Hail West Virginia.” Jeff Valentine, a junior clarinet player, was amazed at Mingo County’s turnout. “Every seat in the stadium was full,” Valentine said. Valentine was also very impressed with the new school. “It was really nice. Mingo County should be proud of their new facilities,” Valentine said. The crowd broke out in the “Let’s go … Mountaineers!” chant when band performed. “It was great knowing that we have support for our band in every part of the state,” said Emily Hersman, a sophomore art major. The next performance scheduled for the band will be Sept. 4 when WVU plays Marshall. The ‘Pride’ will be traveling throughout the state and the country during the foot-

ball season to perform at many away games along with several shows. The traveling done this year has been made possible by donations to The “Pride” Travel Fund.

Donations to The Pride Travel Fund can be made at www.PrideTravelFund.com or over the phone at (304) 284-4000. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

sonality role change,” Garlow said. “Since he took on this role, he’s adopted the mannerisms of his character.” After the three-hour opening show Saturday night, it was clear these actors had worked hard to deliver an impressive performance. Current member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, former mayor Charlene

Marshall expressed her enthusiasm for the MTC. “I’ve always enjoyed the children’s theater and try to make as many performances as possible,” Marshall said. Filling her role as a support of the group, she’s adopted an almost parent-like relationship with the actors. “I’ve seen them grow up, and it’s a joy to see,” she added.

This weekend’s production was nothing short of a success. The MTC is a self-sustaining organization, located at the Metropolitan Theatre on High Street, and its members perform throughout the year.

OPINION

Monday August 29, 2011

Students must be prepared for emergencies Students at West Virginia University must prepare themselves for emergencies. There are many ways to do so, such as keeping an emergency contact list or having a first-aid kit available when needed. But the best way to prepare for any circumstance is to ensure communications with others. WVU makes it easy to stay in touch with the University and

the surrounding area by its text alert system, WVU Alerts. The text alerts are aimed at informing students about any danger they may encounter while in the Morgantown area, whether it is bad weather or an earthquake. It never hurts to be more prepared for an emergency. Text alerts can help users navigate through disaster areas or to inform them when it may be safe to enter.

While the earthquake that was felt last week didn’t bring any damage to the area, text alerts followed immediately. They notified students of the occurrence and kept them informed on any safety hazard that may have occurred. Shortly after those messages went out, around 200 more students signed up for the text alert system. It didn’t take long for students to realize the impact the

system can have during a time of crisis. If the earthquake would have been severe and no messages would have been sent out, there would have been a lot of students scared and confused. The messages let students know about the earthquake and that they were safe. There is no way to efficiently overcome a disaster without organization. It takes everyone working

together and helping each other. If all students sign up for the text alert system, everyone would benefit. There aren’t many students without phones, and all cell phones receive text messages. With the text alert system, the University can organize the entire student body on the blink of an eye. It’s always better to know. jeremiah.yates@mail.wvu.edu

Jobs steps down as Apple CEO: Consumers left to worry Danielle Faipler columnist

Steve Jobs is a brilliant man. He helped revolutionize the personal computer in the 1970s, making it affordable and easy to use for the average consumer. Since then, Apple Inc. has been at the forefront of consumer technology, pushing the industry in music players, cell phones and Internet connectivity. The iPod, iPhone, iPad and MacBook have all been at the front of Apple’s great success thanks to Jobs’ strong eye for detail. Now that Jobs has stepped down from his position as CEO, losing this eye might pose a struggle for new innovations; however, the Apple name will stay strong. Before the iPod first came out in 2001, people bopping around the streets were toting bulky Sony Walkmans and a backpacks filled with CDs. The iPod was the first music player of its kind and completely erased the need to carry around your whole music collection – because it can now fits in your pocket. It also offered a 5 GB hard drive, which was 20 percent the size of the hard drives found in computers at the time. The iPod also included a FireWire port that doubled as a hard drive, which could be used to download 1,000 songsn (and store presentations, pictures and movies.) Although the iPod was priced at $400 for 5 GB, its revolutionary technology and user-friendly capabilities were enough to send people to the store to pick one up. Any other music player could not compete. Even today the iPod still reigns, surpassing attempts from other companies’ innovations and emulations. In 2009, Microsoft Corporation launched the Zune HD, hoping the OLED touch scren display, HD radio and highdefinition video output would be able to go head-to-head with the iPod.

kotaku.com

Photo of Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple computers. Sadly it could not compete, and today, the Zune has virtually died. Standstills in Zune technology and its passive categorization have slowed its popularity. Since the release of the iPod, Apple has introduced the Nano, Shuffle and Touch. Apple has also increased hard drive space, a better touch screen, an FM tuner, a camera and a variety of applications. They also come in a variety of different colors. Although there have not been many major innovations to the iPod,Nano, Shuffle, Touch, they are still quality

products and lead the industry. Furthermore, churns out better computers and software than any other manufacturer, all while under Jobs’ leadership. In 2004, Apple introduced the MacBook Pro, replacing the PowerBook G4. It was the first Apple notebook to run on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, allowing it to run four times faster than its predecessor. Apple released the MacBook Air in 2008, which it boasts a 13-inch display and full keyboard with a width of .76 inches.

Performance was not sacrificed in the design of the MacBook Air. It also has battery life up to five hours and offers the same quality as any other Mac but is more portable. The most recent generation of MacBook Air laptops are twice as fast, weigh just three pounds, have up to seven hours of battery life and include the new Mac OS X Lion software. The new innovations of Sony and Dell seem to be exactly like their earlier models, only with one more hour of battery power and an improved Intel Core processor, which still

runs like a T. rex in a world of Velociraptors. Apple still continues to update its software and products and always outdoes its competitors. An upgraded version of the OS X operating software used by all Apple laptops and desktops was released in early July. The OS X Lion software includes Resume, Auto Save, Version and Auto Drop. All of these make sharing and saving documents more convenient and lessens the need for a flash drive. Steve Jobs built the company from the bottom up,

marketing it on quality and user-friendliness. Before the release of the most recent iPhone, Jobs put in extra hours making the Google logo appear just right. This attention to minute detail helped produce superior merchandise Apple is known and loved for. With Jobs stepping down as CEO, who knows what the company will become. Whether or not the products of Apple will still remain the best in quality and a staple of user-friendliness is something consumers should be worried about.

FEMA is not the golden answer during times of crisis brandon muncy columnist

“You want to offer free food and water to the needy? Thanks, but we’ll have to get back to you on that,” so said a Federal Emergency Management Agency representative. There were a lot of things you could take away from Hurricane Katrina. Maybe you gathered that, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” as rapper Kanye West infamously proclaimed. Possibly you gathered that the government is indeed a valuable service to the truly needy. What you should have gathered was the government’s attempts to take care of you work counterproductively.

FEMA has consistently done more harm than good for the disaster-stricken people they claim to help. Moreover, FEMA and its failures are a remarkably succinct allegory on exactly why socialism fails. In the allegory, FEMA is the government, the disaster victims are the poor, and the means of production are disaster relief. The government has no faith in the private sector to provide for the poor so the government declares it shall provide for them. However, the government does not have the information necessary to do so in order to assess the situation, the government shuts out all competitors, thus taking over the means of production itself. In the intermediate phase, while the government is assessing the situation, the

problem progresses and many more people suffer from starvation, illness, injuries and thirst. The government cannot fathom the thought of the greedy capitalists taking advantage of people in desperate need of their services. Allowing the altruistic ones to help might hinder their ability to assess the situation. So, a little time has passed and the government is now distributing its resources to the desperate but finds it cannot calculate exactly what is needed and how much. While in some areas they find themselves having too much of a resource, in many others they do not have enough. Therein lies the essential problem of a socialist economy and of FEMA’s efforts. They simply cannot and will not ever be able to properly

allocate resources the way a market economy does. The federal government may have built a surplus of about 4,000 trucks worth of ice during the Katrina crisis, but people were starving, thirsty and in serious need of medical attention. FEMA would simply not allow outside aid, although it was offered by many. Some might contend my position is “unethical” or “inhumane” without understanding how egregious the behavior of federal government was during the crisis. Preventing aid from thousands of people and businesses willing to help any way they could, FEMA’s and the National Guard’s attempts at damage control were beyond inhumane. The (Carrier “Prison”) was a hotbed of agony, much like the starving people of a so-

cialist nation. Furthermore, in the absence of FEMA, the many people who would have otherwise given their time, money and resources to those in need would have been able to do so. The bureaucracy that is FEMA wouldn’t have slowed the recovery in its inefficient and costly scrawl, and the suffering would have been considerably less. Additionally, allowing the market to operate would have been of beneficial. Looking at price gouging in a time of crisis as being immoral is looking at it the wrong way. Prices tell entrepreneurs where resources are needed in an economy and where they are not needed. This is one reason why a socialist country has problems allocating resources properly. So, those who are will-

ing and able to pay for these highly priced goods in a time of crisis would receive the benefits first. However, that leaves more resources for the needy by those altruistic people who come to the aid of disaster victims. In times of crisis, it is sometimes easy to get involved in the common thinking that the government must intervene and come to the assistance of those in need. However, programs like FEMA have proven on more than one occasion that this is not the answer. What is really needed is the allowance of people operating freely to come assist in the aid of disaster victims and for the government to get out of the way. When a bureaucracy takes hold of peoples lives, there is no room for progress.

Traditions Day teaches students to have Mountaineer spirit By Mike Atkinson Correspondent

West Virginia University’s Welcome Week concluded Friday with Traditions Day in the Mountainlair. The day, which featured informational booths and representatives from student organizations around campus, was intended to teach freshmen and other new students the importance of WVU traditions. “We wanted students to feel, and be a part of, the pride that comes with being a Mountaineer,” said Trish Cendana, director of Residential Education. Cendana said some of WVU’s most cherished traditions include wearing gold and blue, singing the alma mater, participating in the first-down cheer during football games and the Mountaineer mascot. Brock Burwell, WVU’s current Mountaineer, was on hand to show students the WVU traditions in action. Booths set up at the event included Mountaineer Maniacs, the Alumni Association, the WVU dance team, class

Mountaineer Week, held in the Mountainlair from Oct. 28 to Nov. 6, is a student favorite second only to FallFest, Cendena said. The event, which began in 1947, is a weekend event meant to boost and encourage school spirit. Students participate in traditional challenges such as the PRT cram, the Mr. & Ms. Mountaineer contest, the Mountaineer Idol competition and the beginning of the Mountaineer beard-growing contest.

“Traditions are a part of our culture here at WVU. They have been here for a long time,” said Sonja Wilson, senior programming administrator for the Mountainlair. Wilson said Traditions Day allows students to embrace the idea of what it means to be a Mountaineer. “When you think of traditions, you want to remind students that WVU has them and encourage students to participate,” she said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

SOME NEW FACES

Ben gaughan associate sports editor

O-line key to WVU offense’s success in 2011 Offensive linemen are the guys who don’t get much recognition after the game, but they probably have the toughest job on the field. For a high-flying, fast-paced offense like West Virginia has this season, the team needs to have a solid offensive line that can keep its quarterback protected from the pass rush of an opposing defense. WVU quarterback Geno Smith will not match the success of previous quarterbacks coached elsewhere by WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen if the offensive line is not able to effectively give him enough time to get the ball out of his hands and into the arms of the team’s talented playmakers. At Oklahoma State last year, the offensive line only gave up 10 sacks on the season. The result: First-year starting quarterback Brandon Weeden earned first team all-Big 12, throwing for 4,277 yards and 34 touchdowns. In 2008 and 2009, the offensive line at Houston under Holgorsen gave up 27 and 18 sacks, respectively. Houston quarterback Case Keenum combined for over 10,600 yards passing and threw 88 touchdowns in those two seasons. These are incredible numbers at the college level. Much of the success of an offense is due to offensive lines allowing the quarterback, whoever it may be, to get rid of the football. This cannot be said enough. The elite college teams in the country all have stout linemen who block for the quarterback on a consistent basis. WVU’s linemen are experienced and effective everywhere except for the right tackle position. Currently, redshirt sophomore Pat Eger is first on the depth chart. He is ahead of redshirt freshman Quinton Spain, but the two have been battling for the starting job all summer. Both of these guys are over 300 pounds and will look to improve every game as the season goes on, no matter who starts or backs up. Luckily, since Geno Smith is right-handed and can typically see someone rushing from his right side, the right tackle spot is not the most important part of the offensive line. That does not undermine the fact that the position is still a big piece of the puzzle, and those two guys will need to be at their best in order to keep the line stable.

Senior cornerback Keith Tandy led the Big East Conference with six interceptions last season.

WVU will replace three starters in secondary from last season by michael carvelli sports editor

Former West Virginia defensive backs Brandon Hogan, Robert Sands and Sidney Glover started a combined 96 games in their careers at WVU. That’s the type of experience the Mountaineers will have to replace in the secondary this year. But it’s not like the replacements will be freshmen. In fact, many of them played big roles for the Mountaineers last season; they just didn’t get to start because of all the experience they had in the defensive backfield. “It’s not like we have people that have never been here,” said junior safety Terence Garvin, who is one of two returning starters in the secondary. “Everybody just really has to step up. We’ve got people who can do it. We just all got to really prove ourselves.” And even though there will be some new faces in the secondary, the goal will remain the same its always been. “It’s important to understand what you’re doing and communicating so we’re all on the same level,” said redshirt senior safety Eain Smith. “If we’re not,

it could mean a touchdown. “And we don’t like to give up touchdowns.” Senior cornerback Keith Tandy is the other returning starter and did a nice job of proving himself last season with a successful junior year. Tandy was named first team all-Big East Conference and led the league with six interceptions. Head coach Dana Holgorsen has raved about the improvements Tandy has made since fall camp began, and according to cornerbacks coach David Lockwood, his hard work is the key. “It never ceases to amaze me,” Lockwood said. “I made it a point and told the rest of the guys it’s no wonder why he’s having success. He’s one of the guys who’s out there trying to get better. “He’s in a situation where he’s not worried about getting tired. He’s focusing on his technique and making plays.” The battle for the other starting position at corner left vacant by the departure of Hogan is one that has been up for grabs, but over the last few weeks junior Pat Miller has started to separate himself from the rest of the pack.

In his first year as a starter, WVU defensive back Terence Garvin led the team with 76 tackles. When Hogan missed games against Maryland due to suspension and the Champs Sports Bowl against North Carolina State after tearing his ACL, it was Miller who stepped into the lineup in his place. Lockwood said he’s seen the Birmingham, Ala., native improve not just with his play on the field, but in his maturity as well. “I’ve been pleased with Pat thus far. He’s starting to show

that he can be an every-down corner,” Lockwood said. “He’s still got a ways to go, but I think he’s done a heck of a job. When pointing out an example of how Miller has improved from last year, Lockwood looked at a time in practice when redshirt sophomore Stedman Bailey beat the junior corner and made an impressive catch. “He comes back the next play, his knees are bent, and he

wvu sports info

executes his technique,” Lockwood said. “In the past it was one of those deals where he doesn’t make a play, he comes back and kind of just goes through the motions. He’s starting to mature.” After Miller, West Virginia will have two solid backup cornerbacks in redshirt sophomore Brodrick Jenkins and redshirt senior Brantwon

Smith back from injury, ready for season No. 17 Mountaineers men’s soccer

by michael carvelli sports editor

When the West Virginia defense was on the field during spring practice, senior safety Eain Smith was always in the same place. For just about every play, Smith, who was sidelined the entire spring after undergoing shoulder surgery, stood about 40 yards behind the rest of the defense observing. “Watching it from the sidelines, you can kind of sit back and see everything,” Smith said. “It’s kind of like watching film, actually. You can see the mannerisms of each receiver. You can see which routes the quarterback likes to go to or what routes they like to run. “It was a big help.” The Miramar, Fla., native is penciled in as the starter at free safety for this season and will be looked at as the replacement for Robert Sands, who is now playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. But he understands that in order to be successful at the position in this defense, he doesn’t have to do the same things Sands was able to do. “I’m not Robert, I’m my own player,” Smith said. “I just have to focus on what I can do and my strengths and focus on improving my weaknesses.” Unlike a lot of other firsttime starters, however, Smith

Senior defensive back Eain Smith appeared in 12 games and recorded 39 tackles in 2010. already has had a lot of experience playing with the Mountaineer defense. Smith has played in at least 12 games every year since he’s been at WVU and started four as a redshirt freshman. He has recorded 79 tackles in his career and intercepted the first pass of his Mountaineer career last season against LSU. Last year, Smith was primarily used in the team’s SWAT formation on third downs, which meant he was playing much more aggressively and

blitzing more than he will as an every-down starter in 2011. “The new tempo of the offense helped and I’ve been out of football for a minute,” Smith said. “I’m just trying to get back into the rhythm of things, knocking off the dust. I’m doing pretty good so far with it.” The fact that Smith has as much experience as he does, even though he hasn’t started much, is something that the coaching staff believes can pay dividends down the road after the Mountaineers lost as many key members of its de-

fense from a year ago. “Any time you get experience, that’s the best teacher and I think it’s the biggest thing in college football because guys come and go every year,” said safeties coach Steve Dunlap. “If you can get a few guys every year that know what’s going on at key positions like (Smith) at free safety, that’s a big benefit to the defense.” In 2010, West Virginia’s defense was ranked in or near the top five of every statistical category. Some might call following up a unit like that a pressure-filled situation, but Smith doesn’t think there’s a lot of pressure on the defense this season. “I wouldn’t say there’s a lot of pressure, but we hold high expectations for ourselves,” Smith said. “We’ve got a lot of guys back here that can make plays. We’ll be OK.” The easiest adjustment for Smith up to this point in camp has been stepping up and becoming a leader, which is something he expected to have to do as a senior and one of the few returning players who has a lot of in-game experience. “I lead by example,” he said. “When the young players see me working hard, they’ll start working hard and doing some of the things I’m doing.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

upset No. 11 Virginia by derek denneny sports writer

Junior defender Eric Schoenle’s diving header in the final minute of the first half carried No. 17 West Virginia to an upset victory over No. 11 Virginia in its regular season opener Friday. Junior midfielder Shadow Sebele deftly placed a corner kick close to the far post as Schoenle found a gap in the Cavilier’s defense and headed the ball past Virginia keeper Spencer LaCivita. Junior keeper Pat Eavenson picked up his first career shutout as the Mountaineer defense was able to hold UVA to just three shots all game – all of which came in the second half. West Virginia had 11 shots, five on goal, in a well-balanced offensive attack. Sebele had four shots, while eight other Mountaineers combined for the remaining shots. WVU had two solid opportunities to score coming in the eighth and 88th minute. In the eighth minute, senior Uzi Tayou defelected a Travis Pittman free kick just wide of the goal, while senior Nick

Junior Eric Schoenle scored the game-winning goal against No. 11 Virginia. Claudio’s shot on a breakaway in the final minutes was controlled by LaCivita. The Cavs blew a chance to tie the game in the 66th minute, but Eric Bird’s header on a corner kick rattled off the post before WVU was able to clear the ball out of its zone. The Mountaineers were supposed to face off with No. 4 Maryland, but due to poor weather conditions stemming from Hurricane Irene, the match was postponed until today at 7:00 p.m. derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

No. 17 WVU splits road trip in Pa. by nick arthur sports writer

The Penn State Invitational came to an end on Sunday, and the West Virginia women’s soccer team finished the weekend 1-1. A slow start Friday night against Penn State led to a 5-0 victory for the Nittany Lions over the No. 17 Mountaineers. Penn State led 3-0 before the eighth minute and never looked back on their way to the upset. “Penn State just put a lot of pressure on us,” said West Virginia head coach Nikki IzzoBrown. “We weren’t able to adjust to it, and we just made a couple mental errors.” Facing a deficit that early in a game is something a coach never wants to experience, but Izzo-Brown thinks there are ways to take positives from tough outings like the one her team had Friday. “You just try to go one pass at a time and one goal at a time,” she said. “If you’re not going to win on the scoreboard, you better win your pride back. “You never want to get beat that badly without putting up a fight,” Izzo-Brown said. The team didn’t have

much time to reflect on the loss to Penn State. West Virginia faced George Mason at noon Sunday, and the team rebounded with a 3-0 victory over the Patriots. The Mountaineers scored all three goals in the first half, and they all came from team members who had yet to tally a goal this season. Sophomore forward Frances Silva, a member of last season’s Big East Conference all-freshman team, gave West Virgnia a 2-0 lead in the 34th minute. Silva performed well in each of the Mountaineers’ first two games but had yet to put one in the back of the net. “Frances (Silva) has been knocking on the door,” IzzoBrown said. “She has been frustrated, so it was really important for her to finish today.” Izzo-Brown was particularly impressed with the response from her goalkeeper Sara Keane. After giving up five goals to Penn State on Friday night, the redshirt freshman posted her second shutout of the season against George Mason. “She definitely responded well,” Izzo-Brown said. “She came out with confidence, and that’s what she needed.”

The West Virginia volleyball team won two of its five games in the WVU Volleyball Mountaineer Invitational this weekend.

WVU wins two of five over weekend by sebouh majarian sports writer

The first weekend of the season didn’t go the way the West Virginia volleyball team planned it would, as WVU left the Mountaineer Invitational with a 2-3 record. The Mountaineers beat New Hampshire and Robert Morris, while falling to Valparaiso, No. 21 Ohio State and Towson. “We have a lot of room for growth and improvement and I’m OK with saying that this early in the season because it wouldn’t be good if I couldn’t say that,” said West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer. The Mountaineers kicked off the weekend by earning the program’s 600th win as they swept UNH 3-0 (26-24, 25-12, and 27-25). West Virginia got off to a sluggish start in the second game of the first day against Valparaiso (3-1), trailing 7-16 before dropping the first set 15-25. WVU would recover over the next two sets, winning 2521 and 25-19 before more unforced errors came back to bite them. Freshman Halle Kearney fueled the Mountaineers against the Crusaders as she finished the match with 22 kills. The Cleveland, OH, native left her mark on the tournament as she totaled 52 kills and drew praise from Kramer. “She’s doing a lot of good stuff and she was huge for us tonight and I think she’s going to be big for us all year and she has a lot of work to do but I know she’ll put in the work to

be her best.” Kramer said. On the second day of the tournament, the Mountaineers faced off against No. 21 Ohio State (4-0). WVU wasn’t intimidated by the Buckeyes as they gave them all they could handle in a deceiving 3-0 loss. The Mountaineers would lose the sets 20-25, 16-25, 2025 in front of 500 fans on Dollar Night. In the final set, WVU rallied back from an 12-18 deficit to cut the lead to one but the Buckeyes were too much, finishing the set with a 20-25 win. Kramer believes things will only go up from here. “They want to get better, they’re really driven,” she said. “They focus their energy in the right places because they want to do so well.” WVU lost to Towson (2-1) three sets to one (22-25, 25-12, 23-25, 20-25) in the first of two games on Sunday. In the night match, the Mountaineers took out their frustrations on Robert Morris 3-1 (27-25, 25-13, 21-25, 25-14). Kramer would like to see her team become more organized and improve its communication, as she believed the Mountaineers had too many errors. “We’re a much better defensive team then what we showed,” Kramer said. “We have to keep getting after it every day and keep working towards our goal.” Michelle Kopecky’s kill tied the score at 23 in a pivotal third set, but Towson got a kill from I’ishah Keliikoa and ended the set with an error by Kopecky.

Continued from page 7 Players like redshirt senior Don Barclay and redshirt juniors Jeff Braun and Joe Madsen will play an important role in guiding the younger linemen and making sure the line has good chemistry. If the linemen are not on the same page, the offense will not work. It’s as simple as that. Geno Smith will have his back on the ground, and chances are someone they shouldn’t lose to will upset the Mountaineers. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but it sure could if the offensive line is not where it should be.

Senior Kari Post, right, sets up senior Abby Monson, left, for a kill during a game this weekend. Towson started the fourth set scoring three unanswered points causing Kramer to call timeout. When play resumed, the Tigers’ surge continued as they outscored WVU 7-1, forcing Kramer to use her final timeout for the set. Post was named to the alltournament team as she recorded four double-doubles, while accumulating 159 assists and 57 digs. Russo, who played outside hitter last season, has made the adjustment to libero look easy. She totaled 102 digs, including a 30 dig performance against Robert Morris. “When you’re a team that’s really defensive-oriented your libero is running the show,” Kramer said. “She’s our defensive leader and she held steady and I’m proud of her.” sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

be able to paint the path for the rest of the offense to thrive under Holgorsen’s system. Barclay, Madsen and Braun have all been in the gold and blue for at least three years now and know what they have to do and how they have to do it. For Eger and Spain, it may take some time before the first few games to get a good feel for themselves, and they may have some mental issues early on. But it seems from seeing them in practice, they are big and strong enough to compete with the defensive linemen in the Big East and even the mighty defense LSU brings from the SEC. We’ll see if the O-line can handle the heat starting Sept. 4 against defensive lineman Vinny Curry and Marshall. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Bowser, who both played in all 13 games last season. At safety, the Mountaineers also return one starter who had a breakout campaign last season in Garvin. As a sophomore, Garvin was the lone first-year starter in the secondary but finished the year with a team-best 76 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. At other safety positions, Smith is expected to take Sands’ spot at free safety. He missed spring practice after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery, but played in 12 games during 2010. “He’s got a lot of experience; he’s played a lot of football,” said safeties coach Steve Dunlap. “He was on our third down team last year, and he’s been an off-and-on starter for the last two, so I feel that he should be ready to go.” The boundary safety will be played by redshirt sophomore Darwin Cook, who appeared

in all 13 games last year and finished with nine tackles and a fumble recovery. Like the other two defensive backs expected to take on starting roles this season, Cook has looked to the returning starters for some help with what they will need to do in order to be successful. “Me and Cook live together so we talk about it all the time,” Garvin said. “He’ll be like, ‘What’d you do this time last year?’ and stuff like that, and you can just tell he really wants to be good.” Also at safety, the Mountaineers have sophomore Michael Dorsey. Dorsey made a name for himself last season as one of the hardest hitters on the team even though he was a freshman. Sophomore Travis Bell played in all 13 games last year as a true freshman, and junior Matt Moro will be playing in his first season with the Mountaineers after transferring from El Camino College in Torrance, Calif. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
