Horticulture student grows several large pumpkins BY AVERY LYONS CORRESPONDENT
Growing up, Dustin Trychta asked his mother every year to buy one of his neighbor’s 300-pound pumpkins for Halloween, but they were always too expensive. Today, he has three giant pumpkins of his own that are more than two times as big as the pumpkins from his childhood. “She told me when you grow up you can grow your own pumpkins,” Trychta said. “When I bought my first house, my wife made a deal with me and said
if I grew a pumpkin that was 200 pounds my first year then I would be allowed to take up the space in the yard again the next year. My first year I hit 202 pounds so I guess it was just meant to be.” Trychta has come a long way in eight years— his largest pumpkin this year, Belle, is approaching quadruple digits, and still growing. Despite a mishap with a raccoon that left the pumpkin scarred after just six days, Belle continues to grow each day which threatens to widen the cracks in the scar tissue on her side.
SUBMITTED
Dustin Trychta holds one of his giant pumpkins, Ellie. Ellie is now on display at North Elementary School as part of the “Guess the Weight” contest. Trychta’s fellow giant pumpkin growers told him he was crazy for not trying to save the pumpkin by harvesting it sooner. But he
sees a problem with their line of reasoning: “A marathon isn’t 25.9 miles. Golf isn’t 17 holes.” Trychta’s passion for his
hobby is evident through the conviction he has to see the project through, and the care he takes in nurturing each individual pumpkin. They are like his babies—he and his wife even gave each pumpkin in this year’s harvest its own patriotic name. Belle was named for the Liberty Bell, ironically, because just like her namesake, this pumpkin is cracking just before the harvest. “I’m a combat veteran and have taken care of my share of wounded soldiers,” Trychta said. “Thankfully, I’m back home and have a new type of wounded soldier in Belle. But I’m more
than pretty sure she’s going to make it, I really believe.” Trychta isn’t in the giant pumpkin growing business to turn a profit; at the end of every harvest he donates the pumpkins to be raffled off or won, this year, at a guess-the-weight contest at North Elementary. The contest is open to Morgantown residents who will be able to submit a guess for $5. “I consider myself lucky enough that I get them to decorate my yard during the year. Then, I want to share them with the world,” Trychta said. “Pumpkins make people smile.”
As election day looms, governor’s race heats up BY DANIEL BLAIR CORRESPONDENT
As Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump soak up national headlines, the state of West Virginia is grappling with its own election. The race for Governor, featuring Republican Senate President Bill Cole against billionaire businessman and Democrat Jim Justice, has split party identities and polarized opinion up and down the state. Justice, the coal and agriculture scion, has run a campaign centered around his success in the private sector as well as a promise to revi-
talize the coal industry in the State. With signs around W. Va. proclaiming, “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,” Justice has taken aim at West Virginia’s economic worries with promises to revamp the tourism industry in the state and rebuild its infrastructure. He touts his leading role in recreating The Greenbrier Resort, in White Sulphur Springs, into a national destination as proof of his ability to attract investment into the State. The 65-year old ex-Republican and Charleston native trounced his nearest opponent 51-27 percent in the Democratic Primary Election in May.
Cole, the sole Republican to compete for the nomination, has also focused his campaign on his career in the private sector. The owner of car dealerships in southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, Cole has touted his lack of political experience (despite his current position as the Senate president) as an asset in being able to connect with voters when speaking at Trump rally in May, stating he is a “one-term senator,” who would either be “citizen Cole or Governor Cole” after the election. His proposals are focused on more traditionally con-
servative planks like ending Common Core and cutting bureaucracy. He has been critical of Justice for his business practices and has attempted to portray him as a liberal outsider in a conservative state. The W. Va. Republican Party has even set up a website, http://justicewv.com, devoted to detailing Justice’s alleged shady business ventures. Cole, a 60-year-old Boston native, has received the support of a number of national Republicans, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who campaigned for him around the state earlier this month, and
Vice Presidential nominee Mike Pence, who hosted a fundraiser in Charleston in June. In a state that has been trending red and that gave 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney a 62 percent majority in 2012, according to the WV Secretary of State, the race has been surprisingly close. A recent MetroNews poll conducted by Repass Research has Justice commanding a 14-point lead, 46-32 percent, with Mountain Party candidate Charlotte Pritt taking 8 percent and Libertarian nominee David Moran with 5 percent.
Political science professor David Hauser believes Justice’s appeal lies in his status as an outsider despite being a Democrat in a largely Republican state, and also sees parallels between Justice and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “Jim Justice is a Democrat, but he’s also a non-traditional politician so compared to the national race, he can steal more of the ‘I hate the system’ vote,” Hauser explained. Regardless of the outcome, West Virginians should expect a hotly contested final 48 days until election day on Nov. 8.

WVU Homecoming 2016: Hilary Kinney and Roshan Daniel BY LENA CAMILLETTI CITY EDITOR
Senior journalism student and West Virginia native Hilary Kinney is making her mark at West Virginia University. Raised in Moundsville, W. Va., she takes great pride in being homegrown in appalachia, and recognizes that to be WVU’s Homecoming queen is not just about her, but all Mountaineers.
BY CONNOR SCHLEGEL CORRESPONDENT
Roshan Daniel, a senior mechanical and aerospace engineering student, is joining forces with homecoming queen candidate Hilary Kinney to save time and resources and run a joint campaign for West Virginia University’s 2016 Homecoming Court. Daniel has experience
“Homecoming is a celebration of pride in our University and state. Alumni come back to Morgantown for this occasion, and the game and weekend of activities are long-standing traditions,” she said. Kinney is honored to be a recipient on WVU’s 2016 Homecoming Court, as she has spent the last four years contributing her time to bettering the University. One of her several accom-
plishments at WVU is being the founder of the Food Recovery Network. FRN collects wasted food from various University eateries and donates it to other service organizations on campus and beyond, such as the Rack at WVU, the Ronald McDonald House and the Rosenbaum House. “We have been established for two years and have been able to recover a couple tons of food, which comes to
around 4,000 meals,” she said. Additionally, Kinney founded WVU Students for Bernie, served as a member of WVU’s Student Government Association, as well as an Eco-Rep for the Office of Sustainability, and is currently an intern at the WVU Foundation. “My work, whether focused on fighting hunger and making the University more sustainable or helping young people become more
politically active, is rooted in improving our state and just how proud I am to be from here.” Her dedication to the University and West Virginia as a whole is evident. “Being a Mountaineer means never giving up on West Virginia,” she said. “Being a Mountaineer means you are from a place of many resilient and hard working people and I am proud to call myself one.”
running a campaign, as he currently serves as treasurer of Student Government Association. However, this race does not follow the same extensive timeframe as most elections. “I ran for SGA three campaigns ago and we had two, three months to prepare,” Daniel explained. “So all of that preparation, I’ve tried to jam-pack into the course of five days.” Since campaign time
is so valuable, Daniel and Kinney are openly sponsoring each other and running on a platform of goal achievement. He intends to use his platform as king to bring more attention to alumni relations, explaining that Mountaineers represent WVU not only as students, but also once they graduate. “Homecoming king, homecoming queen, as much of a status symbol
that it is, it’s also a culmination of our journeys here at WVU and the beginning of our journey to represent WVU for the rest of our lives,” Daniel said. He also wants to continue to fight the stigma surrounding WVU’s party school reputation. “Things have been changing over the last five years, but us as students, and us as graduates, are still feeling the effects of that
negative stereotype,” Daniel said. In addition to SGA, the Chantilly, Va. native currently serves as the vice president of the Star Wars Club, and has been involved in Habitat for Humanity and Relay for Life. Students can vote for homecoming court next Tuesday and Wednesday in the Mountainlair and the Student Recreation Center.

WVU preps students for budget cuts BY CAITY COYNE EDITORINCHIEF
In an email to West Virginia University students last week, President E. Gordon Gee announced a $45 million budget cut was in order for the University over the next five years to keep it in a “fiscally positive position.” The cut is part of a strategic plan by the University to minimize spending while increasing the University’s revenue— inevitably, this means consistent tuition increases for students over the next few years. “While I think it is important to recognize that WVU is in better situations than many of its peers—there’s some smaller schools in the red (while) we are not,” said John Bolt, director of University Relations, “if we don’t approach (the budget) intelligently and with a solid plan, it could be more difficult down the road, so we are hitting it head on.” On Tuesday, administration hosted a Campus Conversation focusing on the state of WVU’s budget. During the presentation, attendees were shown the University’s plans moving forward to concede with the cuts. Most notable was the intention to raise tuition by around 5 percent (for both in-state and out-of-state students) each year leading up to FY2021. These increases, Bolt said, would never exceed five percent in a year. In his email (and in Tuesday’s presentation), Gee pointed toward numerous reasons for the budget provisions— a steady decline in financial support of higher education from the state over the last few years was the biggest
reason, among other things. For the 2014-15 academic year, WV and 12 other states cut higher education funding. WV was one of only five states to cut more than $100 per-student, the report read. The state also joined Kentucky and Oklahoma in being the only three states to cut per-student funding two years in a row. But, due to improved student retention rates, the University expects to gain $2 million in tuition revenue, according to minutes from the June Board of Governors’ meeting, where the Department of Administration and Finance outlined its annual plan for determining where revenues are going to stand for the University on a fiveyear term. By having more students enrolled, the burden of making payments is spread to more people, and therefore less per individual, making retention a key strategy in saving and making money, Bolt said. In two of the five years of the five-year plan, there is a provision to allow for increases in salary and raises for staff and faculty, as a good staff is crucial to attracting and keeping students. “We are committed to providing the best education we can for the students and continue to attract the best students and faculty we can,” Bolt said. “We owe it to them to do that. We are not going to skimp on education to save a few dollars.” Lately, college affordability and tuition has been a hot-button topic, especially with a national election less than 50 days away. Despite the worry surrounding these discussions, tuition increases nationally have been on a steady
decline. Tuition increases for public four-year universities have dropped per decade from 4.4 percent in 1984-85 to 3.5 percent in 2014-15, according to The College Board’s Annual Survey of Colleges. College enrollment across the nation has risen 138 percent in the last 40 years, the Institute of Educational Sciences found. The increase in the demand for a college education, where there is only a finite number of opportunities, allows the higher education market to demand more for its services without being influenced or deterred by regular economic forces like inflation. Annually, the rise in college tuition rates has surpassed the inflation rate. According to Gordon Wadsworth, former president of Financial Aid Services, inflation has increased about 115 percent from 1986 to 2012, while college tuition has increased by about 498 percent in the same time. The National Center for Education Statistics projects another 35 percent increase in college enrollment by 2023, showing the demand for college is consistently growing. Steve Odland, former CEO of Home Depot, Incorporated, wrote to Forbes that he believes the price of earning a college degree will not decline until the public speaks out. Since demand for a degree and state budget cuts will most likely persist, the burden will continue to fall on students and their families to pay for the difference, Odland wrote.

How to survive an unfavorable professor—or avoid one entirely
BY MORGAN GREENHALGH CORRESPONDENT
It’s likely every student has experienced it: the moment within the first few weeks of class when they realize their professor is a dud. Then begins the realization that it’s going to be a very long semester. How do you avoid this? The most important thing for students to understand is how to make use of the add/drop period of the semester. This wonderful few days
at the beginning of each semester allows students to mix and match their schedule. Sometimes a professor requires too little from their students, sometimes too much. Using this window of time lets students professor shop. Another tool to filter professors is to use http:// ratemyprofessors.com. This site has a good sample size of reviews on professors at WVU, rates them on a number of categories, from “tough grader” to “hilarious” and can give some insight about what others think about the professor. While the site’s content is obviously subjective and includes plenty not-so-savory remarks, these can sometimes be the most informative. Even with studying up
and using these precautions, sometimes a bad professor manages to squeak by that first week. Students have nothing to fear, however. There are tools and tricks you can use to limit the effect of a bad professor. 1. Remember, this is only a semester. Yes, that is four months, but it goes by a lot faster than you think. It’s only temporary. 2. Focus on the value of what you’re learning. When you find ways to make what you’re learning interesting or applicable to your life, the professor no longer matters. At the end of the day, the content might be useful in your life, while saying “I had a bad professor” won’t. 3. Keep a close eye on your grade and set goals
for yourself. Class may still be torturous, but focusing on the grade will help make the professor less relevant (given he’s an objective grader.) It’ll be just you and your final score. 4. Know when you can distract yourself. If you have that teacher who absolutely has to go over all of the material from the previous class, take time out to breathe. Doodle. Do anything to feel less trapped when you have the chance (though please do so in a non-distracting way.) 5. Make friends in the class, maybe even form a study group. At least find one person you can exchange eye rolls with when the need arises. 6. Textbooks may be expensive, but they are friends you can lean on
when needed. What a teacher can’t articulate, your textbook likely can. You paid for it, make use of it. 7. Take advantage of office hours. While this depends on what type of bad professor you have, office hours allow for a oneon-one discussion. If your professor issues also affect office hours, other professors are likely open to you coming into their own office hours with questions. E-mail ahead of time to make sure. 8. Seek outside help. When classes become overwhelming, especially as the result of a bad professor, hit the Office of Assessment & Student Success. It’s a tool you’re paying for. Use it. Remember four out of five WVU professors are ter-
rific. They have the power to inspire, even influence the course of students’ lives, and do so frequently. While there may be (very) negative outliers, the University is filled with passionate, intelligent voices that we could all learn from. You just have to find them.

...or make your own PSL The holy grail of fall—The Pumpkin Spice latte. Love it or hate it, it’s taken over the world one coffee shop at a time. One issue with a PSL is the medicinal flavor that often accompanies a poorly made PSL. Never run into that problem again with this homemade recipe. Note: I made this recipe myself for years. - Recipe by Rachel Teter What you’ll need: 2 tablespoons Canned Pumpkin , 1 teaspoon of Nutmeg (or more, this always changes for me.) , ½ cup of Almond Milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and coffee of your choice. Equipment: coffee maker, a saucepan, and a wisk or a spoon. Directions: 1.In a small sauce pan over medium heat cook the pumpkin with the Nutmeg and Vanilla Abstract added in. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and warm. 2.Slowly pour in your Almond Milk into the pumpkin mixture. Stir until warm, but do not let it boil. 3.Brew your coffee. 4.Pour your coffee in a cup to about 2/3 then fill it the rest of the way up you’re your pumpkin mixture. You should have enough mixture for more than one cup of coffee. So grab a friend and make this a coffee date at home, or if you’re like me, enjoy the second and third cup to yourself. Tip: Add some whip cream to the top to make it even more delicious. Check out The DA Eats blog to watch how this recipe comes together!
Clothes are changing, too As temperatures drop in Morgantown and the leaves begin to change, students will be spotted bundling up to the best of their abilities in an effort to stay warm as they continue their daily routines. With only a few precious weeks until Morgantown turns into a frozen tundra, the brisk and cool days leading up to that are perfect for layering sweaters, buttoning up flannels, donning beanies, wrapping scarves, breaking out the down-vests, unfolding the leggings and lacing up the boots. Make sure to take advantage of everything Fall has to offer—especially the excuse to dress for comfort in soft sweaters as you leave for class.
MLB playoffs are on the horizon The Playoff race is heating up in Major League Baseball, and it’s looking to be another exciting October. The Chicago Cubs have the best record in the country, looking to win their first World Series since 1908. However, there’s a lot ahead of them and the end of a 100plus year drought.

With the beginning of Autumn also comes the beginning of the dreaded flu season. Symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, headaches and fatigue. There are flu vaccinations available at many locations in Morgantown. Some of these places are local pharmacies, MedExpress, WVU Urgent Care and the Monongalia County Health Department. While these vaccinations do not guarantee you will not catch the flu, they do provide protection against the most common strains of the flu that scientists suggest will hit this year. Though flu shots are typically free with most insurances, if you are without, CVS/pharmacy offers flu shots at $40 and Walgreens offers flu shots for $31.99. Both accept walk-ins.
Basketball season is almost upon us, with the NBA preseason slate beginning on October 1. There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the Golden State Warriors with the addition of Kevin Durant. But they’ll have a tough road ahead of them, especially with LeBron James and the Cavaliers eager to win a second straight title.

U92 on the review: Thy Catafalque’s “Meta” BY ZACHARY HERBERGER U92 METAL DIRECTOR
Blast beats, minimal production, screeched vocals—these are the staples of black metal, a notorious music scene that developed in Scandinavia in the early 1990s. Venom and Bathory were two of the genre’s most well-known progenitors, with bands like Mayhem and Darkthrone later pushing the “classic” black metal sound. Early black metal was fast, dark and anti-Christian. Members of the scene were associated with church burnings and even a few murders in Norway. Largely separated from these negative themes, the style has been enjoying something of a renaissance in the past decade. Thy Catafalque is an avant-
garde black metal band from Hungary. Its lone consistent member, Tamás Kátai, has been evolving the sound of his band since its 1999 inception. Despite the daunting description, “Meta,” the band’s most recent record, may be some of the most accessible black metal released this year. Thy Catafalque is known for pushing the boundaries of black metal. Earlier albums interspersed the under-produced tunes with ambient vocal pieces. The keyboard has always been a common feature in the band’s sound, a stark contrast to the standard minimal lineup of just drums, bass and guitar. While all the hallmarks of black metal are present in the newest Thy Catafalque LP, there’s much more to the music than that. The opener, “Uránia,” features harsh

production and vocals, yet there is an inherent grooviness; it is played slowly and energetically. The climax comes as the singer’s voice shifts to clean vocals (Yes—clean vocals on a black metal record!). The lyrics are in Hungarian, but
the emotion behind them is clear. Kátai’s vocals are deep and melancholy. The wall of sound gives way on the second track, “Sirály,” to clean guitars, violins and a female vocal harmony which evokes medieval times.
The first five songs on the LP are a rollercoaster ride of everything new Thy Catafalque has to show us: electronic beats, horn sections and keyboard solos. All of which are very uncharacteristic of black metal, but fit perfectly in Kátai’s own variation of it. These sounds are all held together by powerful drumming and distorted power chords. The occasional harsh vocals, high or low, perfectly complement the soundscape. By the fifth track, “Osszel Otthon,” Kátai fully immerses the listener in his world. A hypnotic bass riff serves as a brief respite before the 22-minute “Malmok Járnak,” a mournful musical journey with more advanced electronic timbres and female harmonies. The album finishes with an almost classic rock feel on “Vonatút az éjszakában,”
followed by “Mezolit,” which serves as a counterpoint to the opener. A mellow organ piece concludes the latest Thy Catafalque album. “Meta” is an album that grows gentle at just the right times, and when it gets heavy, it’s tasteful. The metal standard of rapid bass drum hits is used sparingly throughout and always serves as a final push of intensity rather than just a beat. Beyond the sprawling middle section, it feels as if Kátai has run out of ideas, though this could also be considered a timely break from the experimental sounds of the first six songs. “Meta” is an entertaining, indeed riveting, listen for fans and non-fans of metal alike. The album will surely be making many of this year’s lists of top metal releases.
WVU Swing Club open to students, community BY MOLLY TITUS CORRESPONDENT
West Virginia University students are invited to dance back in time all the way to the 1940’s on their own Evansdale campus. The WVU Swing Club is open to anyone interested in learning to swing dance, while having a lot of fun at no cost.
David Loomis, president of the WVU Swing Club, encourages students to join not only for the dancing, but for “personal growth and confidence through skill-building.” The club is not only open to WVU students, but everyone in the Morgantown community interested in joining, as well. “Our classes bring
in both students and non-students, and we like it that way,” Loomis said. The club offers free weekly classes from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Thursdays in room 426A in the Creative Arts Center. It also offers a special class for beginners on Thursdays, as well. Classes typically average more than 45 people
a week, and the group’s goal is to teach enough footwork and skill for participants to be able to partake in the DJ’d hour-long social dance that follows each lesson. In addition to Thursdays, the club has a movie night on Mondays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in room G11 of the Life Sciences Building on the downtown
campus. The club also hosts many outings and performances throughout the year. The group participates in culturally-related festivals, holds socials at local clubs and even holds its own weekend-long workshop. Around Halloween and Valentine’s Day each year, the club also throws
themed dances. For more information about the WVU Swing Club, you can like its Facebook page, WVU Swing Dance, or find members at a table in the Mountainlair on occasion. “We might be dancing,” Loomis said, “but that shouldn’t mean people can’t stop by and say hi.”

WEDNESDAY SEPT. 21, 2016
Q&A Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner sat down with Humphreys to talk about this issue and why he believes student athletes should be paid. Q. What do you find interesting in sports economics, currently? A. Some interesting topics I think in sports economics right now are whether or not college athletes should be paid or compensated for the use of their names and images and likenesses, or even just paid like the employees of the University. Also, why we subsidize sports facilities. That is sort of public economic idea. We spend all of this money—taxpayer money—to build these palaces for NBA teams and NFL teams. What is the justification for that, and should we be doing that? Q. Do you believe student athletes should be paid? A. I think they absolutely should be paid. I think there is no grounds under which college athletes, in the revenue generating sports, should not be paid. The NCAA is a terrible institution. They have this premise of amateurism, that as fans, we are not going to get the same enjoyment out of following college sports if the players got paid. That’s ridiculous. There’s research that suggests if you have a football player who is good enough to get drafted in the NFL on a college team, he is probably generating in revenue somewhere between $200,000-$300,000 a year. So if he was paid according to how much money he generated for the University, it would be hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. They are getting nothing. Q. How is it that institutions get away with not paying student athletes? A. Student athlete, a term we use all
What is wellbeing? I recently asked my coworkers this his question and discovered common threads throughout their responses. esponses. They said wellbeing involves making healthy choicess today that help you meet future goals. It affects our personal nal perceptions and social interactions. It prioritizes utilizing ng our current strengths while striving to grow, recognizingg our best now while still trying to become better. It incorpoporates mental and physical, as well as spiritual, practices. ces. That pull between different areas of focus is the holisolistic quality of wellbeing at play.
Dr. Brad Humphreys Economics the time, was a term invented by the NCAA in the 1960’s because they didn’t want college athletes to be considered employees because they would then be open to workers compensation suits for injured on the job. If they have an injury and it eliminates the possibility of a professional career for them, they’ve lost a lot of money. Q. Is there any argument to take sports out of educational institutions? A. Yes. It doesn’t further the academic mission of the University. As someone who has worked in an environment where there is big time sports, and there’s not, I can see the point. It’s the way that our university system developed but it’s hard to make an economic argument for why. Not very many intercollegiate programs make money. Most of them have to be subsidized by the university. From an economic perspective, the whole idea that universities have these giant athletic programs is sort of difficult to rationalize because, contrary to popular belief, they are not profit centers from the universities. Q. What about the athletic program at WVU? A. Now, WVU’s athletic program does have to be self-sufficient and they’ve even got to have the money to over the scholarships. That’s not the case at every university. I am a big WVU sports fan—I have season tickets to football and basketball—but sometimes I say to myself “this is crazy because the University has no business operating this.” We could take that money and provide need-based scholarships to people, and not on the basis of athletic ability, because that isn’t related to their academic experience.
PROFESSOR PROFILE
According to Professor Brad Humphreys, if college football players were paid according to what they generate for their university each year, some may make hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, the NCAA has made it impossible for college athletes to see the money.
Why wellbeing matters
Even if we can comprise a concept of wellbeing from different personal definitions, why does it matter particularly to college students whose lives already require them to balance quite a lot? It matters because studies show those who are proactive in their pursuit of wellbeing are more likely to thrive. Notice that word choice: thrive. Thriving is not about surviving college. Students facing the often daily struggles of college lifestress, lack of sleep, social pressure, etc.- may find themselves only focusing on just getting through the day. Embracing wellbeing as an all-encompassing plan empowers students to make the most of their college experience, to thrive as individuals who can contribute their best to society both during their time in college and after graduation. Social connectedness, personal mindfulness and physical health can all improve through wellbeing. Not only can they improve, but they become interwoven. Consider the fact that stress in-terferes with mental processes. That means choosingg to engage in mindfulness and relaxation techniques can benefit the West Virginia University students who ho annually report stress as the top impediment to aca-th demic performance on the National Collegiate Health Assessment II. While wellbeing is important, it may seem overwhelmwhelming. Visualize wellbeing as a gradual process rather er than an overnight change. Wellbeing is comprised of individual dividual choices, so one healthy choice today can lead to another ther one made tomorrow. Like dominoes, every move affects what is ahead. One choice can be the start of your journey towards owards becoming a more vibrant you.

WVU records sixth straight shutout, tops American BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S SOCCER After only scoring three goals in the first five games, the West Virginia University men’s soccer team has erupted in the last two. Tuesday night, the Mountaineers (5-1-1) topped the American University Eagles (3-2-3), 3-0, at Dick Dlesk Stadium. Felix Angerer, Rushawn Larmond and Griffin Libhart all scored for West Virginia. It was the second consecutive game that the Mountaineers won by a 3-0 score, with the other coming on Sept. 17 against George Mason. WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc doesn’t feel that his team has necessarily erupted offensively,
but rather has taken advantage of opportunities. “We were creating chances before,” LeBlanc said. “Interestingly enough, we’re up in the top 25, top 30 in terms of shots this year. We were creating chances; we just weren’t finishing them. In the last two games, we’ve punished our opponent.” Jose Santos has been in goal for all seven of West Virginia’s games and recorded his sixth consecutive shutout Tuesday night. Santos made seven saves, none better than his stop in the 76th minute. American’s Joe Iraola fired a shot just below the cross bar, but Santos leaped and got a finger on the ball to force over the cross bar and out of play. Including a scoreless second half in the Seattle game to open the season, Mountaineer

box. When you play against teams that are direct like that, you gotta get in the trenches and battle them.” Angerer’s second goal of the season came in the 11th minute when a centering pass from defender Albert Andres-Llop was tipped by an American de-
fender. Angerer shot the first attempt to the right of goalkeeper Lucas Belanger. Belanger made the save, but the rebound came back to Angerer, who headed into the wide open left side of the net. After being called offside twice, Larmond capitalized on his third scoring chance of the game. In the 47th minute, midfielder Joey Piatczyc sent a free kick into the goalie box, defender Jack Elliott headed to the left side and Larmond onetimed the ball to the right of the diving Belanger. “Just happy to get the win and a goal today,” Larmond said. “About time.” The highlight of the game came in the 54th minute when Libhart scored his first career goal on a run by midfielder Jad Arslan found Libhart in front.
Libhart received the pass, then kicked it to the right of Belanger with a blind back-heel shot. “It was brilliant,” LeBlanc said. “A cheeky bugger.” Libhart felt it was only chance at scoring. “There wasn’t a whole lot that I could have done there,” Libhart said. “It’s just something that comes to you in the game.” The only thing to go wrong for the Mountaineers on Tuesday was an injury to Andres-Llop. In the 14th minute, he rushed back to make a defensive play, but twisted his ankle on the play. Andres-Llop did not return. West Virginia’s next game comes Saturday against UNC-Greensboro at 7 p.m. The match is West Virginia’s first true road match of the season.
Mountaineers prepare for stingy Cougar defense BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL Although BYU is 1-2, its defense might be the most experienced and strongest group the Mountaineers have faced this season. The Cougars have allowed just 17.7 points per game against a challenging schedule thus far, one that features all Pac-12 foes. They’re an impressive defense in nearly every facet, and the WVU coaches
know they have a difficult task ahead of them Saturday. “BYU is playing really good defense,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Very easily could be 3-0 based on how their defense is playing…I can assure you we’re not underestimating these guys whatsoever. They’re going to be incredibly challenging to prepare for defensively.” It all starts with first-year defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaka. As the defensive line coach back at Utah in 2013, he became the first ever non-co-
ordinator to be nominated for the Broyles Award (nation’s top assistant coach). Sophomore linebacker Butch Pau’u leads Tuiaka’s unit, recording a nation’s best 37 tackles. Nineteen of those came in last Saturday’s loss to UCLA, but that isn’t his most impressive feat. Pau’u missed two seasons to serve missionary work, a common aspect of a student enrolled at BYU. Yet the time away from the game didn’t slow him down or create an adjustment period.
Instead, it made him an even more potent force that opposing offenses have to contain. “It doesn’t look like the mission slowed him down at all,” Holgorsen said. “If anything, it sped him up. That guy is all over the place. Hard to block, hard to get on him. Gets off blocks. He’s a sure tackler. He’s pretty good.” While BYU’s pass rush might be its biggest weakness with just five sacks all season, it hasn’t hindered the unit. The passion and unrelenting
attitude makes up for it, playing a big factor in the defense’s success. “They play hard,” said WVU offensive coordinator Joe Wickline. “They play until the echo of the whistle. They do what we teach our guys to do. It’s going to be a good football game. It’s going to be a very tough game.” And most importantly, they stall (and end) the opposing offense’s drives early. The defense has recovered three fumbles already—tied for the 14th highest total in the nation—
and the six interceptions place them at No. 5. Senior defensive back Kai Nacua’s has been a key piece in the high turnover rates, tallying three interceptions. That’s just what he and BYU do, with the Mountaineers stressing to make smart decisions ahead of Saturday’s much-anticipated affair. “They all play hard and the biggest thing I think is that group, they’ve been able to stop people, get them off the field,” Wickline said. “They get turnovers.”

Mountaineers fall to No. 5 Texas in Big 12 opener BY TAYLOR HALL CORRESPONDENT
VOLLEYBALL WVU Volleyball ended its winning streak and dropped its first conference game of the year to No. 5 Texas at home on Tuesday evening. Optimism for the Mountaineers filled the air of the Coliseum after they won the first set 26-24, and players and fans alike were hoping for an upset, which could have shaken up Big 12 rankings and put WVU closer to being put in the Top 25 next week. “I thought we did some nice things,” said WVU head coach Reed Sunahara in an
interview with wvusports. com. “Texas is ranked No. 5 in the country for a reason. They really put pressure on us, and we need to learn how to respond to that.” Things unfortunately unraveled for WVU as Texas began to come back strong. The second set was very close until the very end, with Texas taking it, 28-26. WVU was clearly shaken by the loss of the second set, and had a hard time coming back in the third and fourth sets. The Mountaineers finished the third set with a score of 18-25 and the fourth set went to Texas 15-25. Payton Caffrey once again led the team offen-
sively and had the team and game best of 26 kills. Caffrey also finished with a .259 hit percentage and received her second Big 12 Rookie of the Week Award this week. Though the Mountaineers ended up falling to Texas, Caffrey led offensive statistics on both sides of the net. Mia Swanegan was another Mountaineer who received Big 12 Honors this week. Swanegan was named Defensive Player of the Week, and currently leads the conference in blocks. And on Tuesday against Texas, Swanegan ended the match with three blocks. Freshman and California native Katelyn Evans was a
big help to the team offensively as well. Evans ended the night with 11 kills and a .250 hitting percentage, just a small fraction of a percentage behind Caffrey. Looking forward, the team will have to come together defensively behind the leadership of junior libero Gianna Gotterba who finished the match with 14 digs. Caffrey and setters Erin Slinde and Hannah Shreve, who split time setting, are running the offense pretty well together. WVU will have a chance to redeem itself in the Big 12 this weekend against Texas Tech on its home turf. The match will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Missouri transfer Magaletta playing big role for WVU BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER With a goal in West Virginia’s 3-0 win over Princeton on Friday night, junior transfer Alli Magaletta is already proving her worth in the Mountaineers’ starting lineup. The Missouri transfer and St. Louis native has three points this season, but has started more games already for coach Nikki Izzo-Brown than she did in her two years at the University of Missouri. Magaletta joined West
Virginia this summer after receiving her transfer papers from Missouri in the spring. In her two years there, she posted 11 points (five goals and one assist) in just five starts. In nine games in a West Virginia uniform, she has started all nine, contributing 10 shots with one goal and one assist. Including her goal on Friday night, two of Magaletta’s six career goals are game winners. The most recent St. Louis native to play for Izzo-Brown, she has been able to help fill the void of the team’s leading scorer last season, Kailey Utley.
Utley, who grew up just miles away from Magaletta, finished last season with 12 goals and six assists and had a large part in Magaletta’s decision to transfer; a decision that she couldn’t be happier with. “It’s honestly been the best experience ever,” Magaletta said. “I had no idea how good West Virginia truly was until I got here and met all the girls and meshed with them completely. I’ve never had a stronger team.” Magaletta comes from a family of athletes, with a father who was a two sport athlete at St. Louis Uni-
versity and a mother who played softball at Columbia College. Her brother played football at William Jewel College and her sister followed in the footsteps of her mother, playing soccer at Columbia. Despite a heartbreaking double overtime loss on Sunday that knocked the Mountaineers out of the top ranking in the nation, there is still a long season ahead for No. 4 West Virginia. The team is hoping to rebound and finish the season among the top in the nation and could largely rely on Magaletta for scoring down the road. Her
ability to provide clutch goals and her St. Louis work ethic will play a large part in whether the Mountaineers can recover their elite stature following a demoralizing loss. “It’s funny. I got (Magaletta’s transfer) release from Missouri and all of a sudden I’m thinking ‘losing Utley I need a little St. Louis in my life’ and I just love the grit and blue collar mentality those St. Louis kids always bring,” Izzo-Brown said. “Alli has definitely rose to that reputation… and has just been a great addition.” For now, Magaletta is
enjoying being able to play for an elite program and is happy with how quickly she was accepted in to the West Virginia family despite being a junior. She is taking in all the coaching she can get and doing everything she can to contribute. “I think the coaching staff is great and they truly, individually help us as players,” Magaletta said. “It’s not about who scores, it’s about the team scoring and it’s about us playing as a team. They always talk about how tight the team is and honestly I couldn’t feel more at home.”

BYU’s quarterback Hill continues to battle the odds BY PATRICK KOTNIK CORRESPONDENT
FOOTBALL Saturday’s game between Brigham Young University and West Virginia will be the first ever meeting between the two teams. For BYU quarterback Taysom Hill, this game presents another opportunity to prove himself on route to his final college football season. As a 26-year old, fifth-year senior, Hill has been plagued by injuries throughout his college football career. He suffered a season ending left knee injury during the 2012 season, a broken left leg in 2014 and a season ending foot injury in last season’s opener. Hill was granted a medical redshirt last season and decided to remain at BYU for his final season. Hill has racked
up more than 5,000 passing yards and 33 touchdown passes so far in his career at BYU. “It seems like he’s been there for a decade,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “He’s played a lot of snaps, is experienced. He’s had some unfortunate injuries come his way, but he’s battled through them to the point where he’s their guy.” Hill regained the starting quarterback position this season by beating out sophomore Tanner Mangum, who threw for more than 3,000 yards and 23 touchdowns last season as a true freshman in Hill’s absence. “They’ve got two guys that are experienced, that are incredibly capable of being able to do what they’re asking them to do,” Holgorsen said. “Those guys have played a bunch. They’ve won a bunch. They’ve
been around a bunch. They’re being coached by a guy that’s been in their shoes before.” After a 1-2 start to the season and an offense that ranks just 96th according to ESPN, there has been much speculation that Hill would be benched in favor of Mangum. BYU head coach, Kalani Sitake, has made it clear that Hill will remain as the starter for Saturday’s game against the Mountaineers. Though Sitake has assured that Hill will remain as the starter, WVU’s defense will be prepared to face both Hill and Mangum. “You never know what’s going to happen throughout the course of the game,” said WVU senior safety Jarrod Harper. “Something can happen with No. 7 so we’ve just got to prepare, continue to work, continue to push each other this week during practice and ev-
