Phi Sig catches flack for lewd T-shirt by caity coyne

associate city editor @caitycoyne

The Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity unveiled its T-shirts this week in the midst of West Virginia University officials calling for a “culture change.”

The tees showcase a scantily-clad woman with the fraternity’s letters printed on large, caricature breasts.

“We haven’t seen your girl wrestle, but we’ve seen her BOX,” the shirt reads.

“It’s very subtle,” said Nic Conley, president of the fra-

ternity. “We’re funny guys.”

Members of the fraternity submitted ideas for the tees, Conley said, and finally voted on the design they wanted to represent their organization as it recruits new members throughout recruitment season.

“If that’s how it works, then that’s how it works,” said Dean of Students Corey Farris about the process.

“It’s disappointing, and it certainly describes what they think of women and their respect for women.”

Conley, on the other hand, sees nothing wrong with the design.

“A kid can walk down the street and wear a shirt that says, ‘Eat Sh-- Pitt,’” Conley said. “Any person can order a shirt. It’s just a shirt.”

But not everyone shared Conley’s attitude.

“I was offended (when I saw the shirt),” said Jennifer Orlikoff, director of WVU’s Center for Women’s and Gender Studies. “I was very disappointed. Given all of the initiatives in place to change the culture… I was really hopeful that we’ve turned a corner and that things were going to get better. This is just a slap in the face. It’s so disappointing

that this is going on.”

Others in the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies, like Teresa Pershing, aren’t as surprised by the tees or that a fraternity created them.

“I think this is an indication that it’s more of the same and that it’s a (top down) change,” Pershing, a WVU lecturer, said. “People who are not actually associated with the fraternity culture on campus are the ones putting rules in place, but there isn’t actually change at the fraternity level and

A look at 2015 WVU Homecoming King and Queen Candidates by hollie greene staff writer @dailyathenaeum

As fall approaches, so does Homecoming, and last Thursday the top five candidates for Homecoming King and Queen were announced by West Virginia University. For the next four days, each issue of the Daily Athenaeum will feature a short biography for a potential king and a potential queen, so students can learn more about the elects before voting. Voting will be held from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday Oct. 6 and Wednesday Oct. 7 at the Mountainlair and the Student Recreation Center. The 2015 Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned during halftime at the WVU football game against Oklahoma State on Oct. 10.

“The wording in Policy 57 specifically grants the University the authority to enforce this policy on public roadways adjacent to the University. That is flat out unconstitutional,” Cole said. “The University, it seems at a whim, is willing to grant exceptions to this policy. That’s not equal protection under the law.”

Amanda Hutchison, a senior sports and exercise psychology student, decided to give Homecoming Court a go this semester after much involvement on campus.

Hutchison was elected twice to the Student Government Association’s Board of Governors where she spent ample time calling for more accessible areas for students with disabilities. Hutchison believes her prior experience campaigning may help in her quest for the crown.

“I’ve been involved in a ton of student organizations, and it’s been so rewarding,” Hutchison said.

“SGA really made me the person I am today. I learned great leadership skills and became a better public speaker. I learned that one person can make a change even when that seems impossible.”

Hutchison also devotes time to the Sports and Exercise Psychology Club.

“SEP Club has given me the opportunity to participate in community service and become closer to the faculty and staff of the College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences. I love my major, and that’s a great way to get involved,” Hutchison said.

Hutchison wants to show herself how much she has grown as a person since she first enrolled at West Virginia University and prove to others they can make the best of any situation.

Julius McCall, a senior international business student, has the opportunity to add “Homecoming King” to the long list of titles he’s racked up over the course of his WVU career.

McCall has held executive positions in four groups on campus while managing to actively participate in two other clubs. He has served as the President for Black Student Union, Former Chief of Staff for Student Government Association and Former Executive Board Member: Sergeant in Arms for the Paul Robeson/Mahalia Jackson Gospel Choir, among other positions.

“These organizations helped me understand that it’s not just about me,” McCall said. “One of the biggest things that I learned is that life is bigger than me as an individual, and it’s about giving back, helping others and learning. With doing all of these things, I am also helping to mold myself, change my life and learn more about me as a person.”

McCall’s friends and advisor urged him to apply for Homecoming King.

“I decided to run kind of last minute because I was on the fence about it, but I’m glad I did. It shows people that really anyone can do this type of thing if they put their mind to it,” McCall said.

Snagging the title would make McCall proud to see the Univer-

Carl Sullivan, MD and Director of the Addiction Program for WVU Hospitals, talks to students and faculty about addiction in rural West Virginia.

WVU medical director of Substance Abuse Programs discusses drug addiction in West Virginia by hollie greene staff writer @dailyathenaeum

In West Virginia, 34 out of every 100,000 deaths are a result of drug overdoses—the highest in the nation, according to Dr. Carl Sullivan.

Sullivan, West Virginia University’s medical director of Substance Abuse Programs, spoke to students Thursday afternoon about the importance of battling addiction in the Mountain State.

“There’s not a student from West Virginia who comes to WVU who has not been either directly or indirectly affected by addiction back in their home

town,” he said. “Unfortunately, we have a culture in which drugs are very pervasive, and I don’t know any community that hasn’t been affected..”

Sullivan said West Virginia has and continues to suffer from a terrible and “seemingly unrelenting drug addiction.”

“There is an enormous problem in this state with drugs such as, primarily, prescription opioids, but also with tranquilizers, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana,” he said.

WVU employee battles tobacco policy by corey mcdonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Dennis Cole, an employee of the Health Sciences Center for 23 years, recently filed a third petition against West Virginia University’s policy banning tobacco on campus.

Cole was supposed to meet with WVU lawyers in front of a judge Monday, but that never happened.

“What was supposed to happen yesterday was (lawyers representing WVU) were going to go before a judge and ask that the case

be dismissed without even hearing it,” Cole said. “For reasons unknown to me, they cancelled it.

When asked for comment, representatives from WVU’s Office of Legal Affairs and General Counsel said they “cannot comment on pending litigation.”

Cole’s petition challenges Policy 57 of the WVU Board of Governors. The petition claims that enforcing the policy “contravenes established West Virginia law and threatens to take action against the Plaintiff, other students and employees of WVU, and the gen-

Pope makes appeals to Congress, tells nuns ‘I love you’ NEW YORK (AP)—Pope Francis plunged into the melting pot of New York on Thursday after reminding the country of its immigrant origins in the first papal speech before Congress.

At an evening prayer service in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, he thanked American nuns for their strength and courage in a deeply meaningful acknowledgement of their service following a yearslong Vatican crackdown.

Over 40 hours in New York, the pope will address world leaders at the United Nations, participate in an interfaith service at the Sept. 11 memorial and celebrate Mass at Madison Square Garden. He will visit a school in Harlem and take a drive through Central Park, part of a whirlwind tour of the Big Apple that got off to a quintessential welcome with a high school brass band serenading him with “New York, New York,” on the airport tarmac.

The popular pontiff received raucous cheers upon his arrival in Manhattan. Thousands of people lined the streets leading to St. Patrick’s to greet him, cheering, waving flags and adoringly chanting his name as he gestured toward them from his popemobile.

On the steps of the recently spruced up cathedral, dignitaries including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer welcomed him for an evening vespers service.

Once inside, the pews full of U.S. priests and sisters erupted in applause when Francis told American nuns he wanted to thank them for their strength, spirit and courage and to “tell you that I love you very much.”

It was the strongest expression yet of his gratitude after the Vatican under his predecessor ordered an overhaul of the largest umbrella group of U.S. sisters, accusing them of straying from church teaching. The nuns denied the charge and received an outpouring of support from American Catholics, and the crackdown ended this year, two

years early, with no major changes.

In Washington earlier Thursday, the pope waded into bitter disputes while speaking to Congress, entreating the nation to share its immense wealth with those less fortunate. He urged Congress and the nation to abolish the death penalty, fight global warming and embrace immigrants. Lawmakers gave rousing ovations to the leader of the world’s Catholics despite obvious disagreements over some of his pleas.

After Francis addressed Congress, the first pontiff to do so, he underscored his message by traveling to a downtown Washington church, where he mingled with needy and homeless people, blessed their noontime meal and walked among them while they ate.

Francis wraps up his visit this weekend in Philadelphia, where he speaks in front of Independence Hall and celebrates Mass on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to close out a big Catholic families rally.

At the Capitol, the remarkable sight of the pope speaking in the House chamber seemed to delight lawmakers of all persuasions, though he offered an agenda more to Democrats’ liking. Besides his focus on climate change and immigration, he denounced arms sales and seemed to allude approvingly to the Iran nuclear deal and recent actions by President Barack Obama’s administration to open relations with Cuba, done with his urging.

Republicans heard something to like in his references to the sanctity of life and family relations, reminders that even the more open Catholic Church over which Francis presides still condemns abortion and gay marriage.

For all the spectacle, it seemed unlikely the pope’s visit would break congressional inertia on the issues dear to him, with no action in sight from the Republican majority on global warming

pulsion, and University employees who violate it can face termination. Despite the looming consequences, students say they just receive warnings from occasional passersby—but those are generally disregarded.

“I’ve only been bothered one time about it by some random guy,” said Dan White, a WVU freshman. “He just said, ‘there’s no smoking on campus, put it out.’”

Jasmine Charles, a sophomore english student, usually smokes by the Boreman residence halls. Residence Assistants might tell her to put her cigarette out, “but I really don’t care honestly.”

So how then does the

University go about enforcing the policy?

“It’s more a Human Resources and Student Affair policy,” said University Police Chief Bob Roberts.

“Beyond that, it’s not really under our control. It’s not something our officers can write tickets on or enforce.”

Corey Farris, dean of students, told a crowd at the Student Government Association’s Speak-up event that enforcing the policy is a matter of peer pressure, according to a previous report from The Daily Athenaeum.

“Hardcore enforcement is not the way to get people to change their behavior,” Farris said, according to the article. “It’s going to

take one-on-one interactions between students … it’s going to take one student going up to another and saying, ‘Please don’t smoke here, it bothers me.’”

Walking past the library or behind Woodburn, it’s easy to see that students still freely smoke on and around campus property.

And some students don’t care either way if the policy is enforced or not.

“It doesn’t bother me personally, you know, I don’t really care,” said John Veney, a junior advertising and business duel major who chooses not to smoke cigarettes. “I don’t think much of it.”

Cole feels the policy is a

vehement, ideological reaction to smokers on campus.

He’s adamantly pushed the petition forward in court and feels the issue is a matter of constitutional law.

The Board of Governors enacted the tobacco policy on June 7, 2012, which then went into effect July 1, 2013.

Cole and his lawyer, P. Todd Phillips, presented the petition before a judge on the day the policy was to go into effect. The petition was dismissed because Cole didn’t give the University a full 60 days advanced notice of petition.

Cole re-filed the petition on May 14 of this year, and while Monday’s court hear-

ing was dismissed, Cole expects the case to appear before a judge in the coming months.

“The cigarette policy at West Virginia University is counter-productive,” said Andrew Haskell, sophomore anthropology student.

“It’s like the gum policy in grade school. They don’t let you chew gum in grade school, but that causes the person who’s chewing the gum to not want to get in trouble who will then just put it under the desk.”

Cole’s lawyers could not be reached for comment in time for this story.

tees were only meant to be funny and thinks people need to “lighten up a little bit.”

Farris said the tees only speak to the individual chapter, not the University’s “culture change” campus-wide.

He believes the actions of one fraternity should not reflect on WVU’s Greek Life as a whole. But Orlikoff said just one fraternity can paint a bad image of the University for all students and faculty not involved in Greek

Life.

“You ask any faculty member, any other student who is not in (a) fraternity, and they’re just letters,” Orlikoff said. “It’s just one lumped together group of people. So yes, what one does definitely impacts the reputation of another.”

Greek Life now requires students to have 2.75 GPA to rush a sorority or fraternity—a rise from last year’s 2.5 requirement. Recruitment was also pushed back six weeks into the semester.

Orlikoff and Pershing say there’s still a far way to go to enact real changes in the system.

“If you want to be perceived different as an organization, you can’t say, ‘We don’t want to be these guys, we don’t want to be treated this way…,’ then put this shirt out,” Pershing said.

“We can’t have things like ‘The Hunting Ground’ being shown on ... and then have this shirt. Those two things don’t work together.”

Conley genuinely did not

believe the shirts to be sexist or offensive and did not understand why some people thought they were.

“I don’t understand why they’re letting it affect them,” he said.

Since Phi Sigma Kappa did not break WVU rules or conduct code, Farris said the University won’t punish the organization or the members.

“They’re the ones, when other people talk to them, that (will have to) justify why they think it’s a good shirt,”

Farris said.

Fraternities do not need any approval to produce apparel, but WVU Interfraternity Council Vice President Matt Blaire said the IFC will review ways to approve fraternity designs from now on at its next meeting.

For now, Conley’s fraternity is sticking with the tees.

Conley’s goal for recruitment season is simple: “We made the best impression on campus we could.”

were likely to experience some form of pain resulting from their jobs. Citizens became addicted, and when their doctors started holding back on renewing the same prescription, patients resorted to buying the drugs off the street, Sullivan said.

Sullivan believes this is where West Virginia’s drug abuse problem originates.

“The good news is, we do have early prevention and treatment programs here at WVU,” Sullivan said. “Student Health is much more able to provide treatment than they were in days past.”

Students interested in becoming involved with the Rural Health Interest Group, the group that hosted Sullivan, can contact Yi-Wen Chen at ychen6@mix.wvu.edu.

The group’s next meeting is at noon on Oct. 28 in the Health Science Center’s Hostler Auditorium.

Cole has a laminated piece of tobacco leaf he uses as a bookmark.

“The language is so imprecise that it could be carried to ludicrous extremes,” Cole said. “The wording of ‘no use of any tobacco product’ is way too vague to be legal. It has to have a specificity that makes its application and enforcement clear.”

Sullivan said that situation is a perfect example of how opioid abuse arose in West Virginia during the 1990s.

“At (that) time, there was a pharmaceutical company that developed a new drug called OxyContin,” Sullivan said.

“They went to small clinics all over West Virginia and said, ‘This drug is really good for patients with moderate to severe chronic pain,’ and then cited some incredibly faulty data that said addiction was unlikely to occur if patients used it correctly and if they had no history of addiction.”

Those companies claimed there was less than a 1 percent chance of patients becoming addicted, according to Sullivan.

Francis has called for a more welcoming attitude toward migrants everywhere and has backed that up with a modest welcome of his own: The Vatican recently took in two refugee families and has committed to care for them while they await their asylum applications.

On another contentious subject, Francis advocated abolition of the death penalty in the U.S., an idea that enjoys support from lawmakers of both parties at the federal level. He spoke out against fundamentalism of all kinds while urging care in combating it.

In calling for action on the climate and to combat poverty, he took care to insist he was not anti-business, as some conservatives have suggested.

editorial

Making religious progress Pope Francis, the spiritual leader of more than one billion Catholics around the world, arrived in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. He’s just one of four popes to have ever visited the United States and the only one to formally address Congress. Aside from the political aspect of his visit, he’ll conduct mass from churches in Philadelphia and New York during his stay in the country.

The pope is widely known for his more liberal views on social issues than his predecessors. For example, though he still opposes same-sex marriage, abortion and contraception like those before him, he has shifted focus within the Catholic church from that of behavioral restriction and exclusion to tackling larger societal ills, such as discrimination against

non-heterosexuals and equal wealth distribution to aid the poor.

In October 2014, he stated God was not “a magician with a magic wand” and publicly showed support for the theory of evolution. He’s claimed a belief in the coexistance of evolution and God and has also accepted the Big Bang Theory over traditional creationist views.

Pope Francis has also indicated a concern for the environment, expressing, “Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political... It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day,” in a leaked encyclical from June. In his speech to Congress this week, he avoided using the term “climate change” but still ad-

Defunding Planned Parenthood hurts everyone

motherjones.com

Protestors hope to encourage Congress not to defund Planned Parenthood.

Shelby bradford columnist @Shelbybradfordda

Defunding Planned Parenthood is the worst medical decision this country could make for both its citizens and economy.

I believe every American is entitled to his or her own opinion. However, I do not believe one person’s opinion should negatively impact the health of another human being. As a student from a low-income demographic involved in health sciences, I highly respect organizations able to commit themselves to offering health care to patients who cannot afford the price of a regular doctor’s office.

Legislators are considering removing funds directed toward Planned Parenthood based on botched videos edited by an extremist anti-abortion group. They’re also weighing the decision because of personal biases toward Planned Parenthood’s abortion services, which only make up 3 percent of

the organization’s total services offered to American men and women. Due to a simple lack of information about the majority of the services Planned Parenthood provides, senators are about to vote in favor of eliminating the only source of health care for nearly three million Americans.

As a woman who believes in progressing the health of all people, I went to Planned Parenthood’s website and its supporting website (IStandWithPP.org) to find the facts on exactly what this organization provides to underprivileged Americans.

In last year’s fiscal report, Planned Parenthood facilities administered more than 378,000 Pap smears, 487,000 breast exams, and one million emergency contraception kits. They provided almost 88,000 screenings for cancer to both men and women, as well as more than four million tests for HIV, STIs and STDs. The organization also gave patients information on how to prevent contracting diseases spread by sexual contact and resources for their treatment. It of-

fered three million men and women both reversible and irreversible contraceptives based on patients’ preference. Planned Parenthood provided—and still provides—accurate information on sex, sexuality, and how to maintain healthy relationships for teens and young adults.

Planned Parenthood helped bring teenage pregnancy to a 20-year low last year, through the distribution of contraceptives and accurate sex education. They funded 70 research projects involving improving women’s health care in non-governmental facilities.

After the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, Planned Parenthood was able to educate 1.7 million Americans on their eligibility for Medicaid and help 100,000 individuals file for health insurance. Aside from the organization’s numerous uses in the United States, it also connected one million individuals in impoverished regions outside the country with access to health care.

Earlier this year, an antiabortion extremist group released videos of sup-

posed illegal activity taking place in Planned Parenthood facilities. Upon the videos’ release, digital photo experts from the F.B.I. National Academy reviewed the footage to assess the videos’ legitimacy. The investigative team not only discovered the highly edited nature of the films, but also found no evidence of any of the footage of live aborted fetuses on tables that Carly Fiornia, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio claimed to have viewed.

To be specific, the F.B.I. teams found at least 42 instances of spliced content where sentences were altered or completely removed in order to change the meaning of what was being discussed between Planned Parenthood employees. Though the edited nature of the films was clear, some states still insisted Planned Parenthood facilities undergo extensive investigations payed for by taxpayers’ money to confirm no wrongdoing was occurring. In all five Planned Parenthood facilities searched, no illegal activity was discovered. To date, the footage suppos-

For many people in this country, Planned Parenthood is the only source of health care available. With talk of defunding still on the table, the solution some senators have suggested in order to alleviate this problem is for local health departments and other statefunded practitioners to absorb all current Planned Parenthood patients.

However, of the 2.7 million patients Planned Parenthood serves, the majority are either uninsured, underinsured or only have Medicaid as their form of insurance. Two-thirds of states have indicated there will be difficulty in providing full services to patients in which Medicaid is their only form of insurance, and half the country is not able to ensure coverage for patients only insured by Medicaid.

This country needs Planned Parenthood so it may continue providing this nation’s underinsured the health coverage they deserve. The patients of Planned Parenthood need to be heard so they may

continue to receive lifesaving and affordable care.

If the proposed defunding becomes law, 2.7 million Americans will be left with no access to basic lifesaving care like cancer screening and OB/GYN services.

As both students and a community, we have a voice we must use to make Congress reconsider defunding Planned Parenthood.

If you’re looking to get involved, there are several political organizations on campus where you can voice your opinions and join campaigns. There is also a new student organization—Students for Reproductive Justice—dedicated to the protection of women’s reproductive rights and female-specific health care.

Right now, Planned Parenthood needs every voice to be heard. All people have the right access to affordable health care and safe medical procedures, and I do not agree with the government impeding upon this right simply because of personal bias and misinformation. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Please welcome them and show them our true Mountaineer spirit!

As in the past, please keep in mind The High Five Rules Of The Game: 1. No excessive drinking—intoxicated fans are not allowed inside or outside the stadium.

2. No foul or abusive

FreeFall Festival to bring indie to W. Va. meg weissend

a&E correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Welcoming in the fall season with a celebration of adventure, music and the great outdoors, this year’s FreeFall Festival at Snowshoe Mountain is held this weekend.

Ranked No. 1 for best mountain resort in the Mid-Atlantic region, Snowshoe Mountain is a popular destination for skiers in West Virginia. This will be the third annual FreeFall Festival.

With events ranging from hoop dancing to hiking meditation Friday to Sunday, the festival has many activities to choose from. Live concerts featuring bands with a variety of music genres are scheduled to perform.

Tonight, Steve ‘N’ Seagulls, a Finnish country-band known for playing bluegrass versions of hard rock and metal songs, will take the stage at 7 p.m. The line-up list for the festival’s webpage describes the band’s attempt to “hillbillify” AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” as an overnight sensation resulting in “a slew of performances ranging from festival appearances to being the house band in the christening of your grandma’s cat.”

Following, indie pop band, Young Rising Sons, will play at 8:45 p.m.

Saturday’s setlist offers more music from Jon Stickley Trio, a rapid-fire

flatpicking band with roots in gypsy jazz, bluegrass and hip-hop, and Yarn, a chart-topping Americana band.

Songwriter Zach Deputy, who taglines his style as, “island-infused drum n’ bass gospel ninja soul,” will make an appearance at 7 p.m. tomorrow.

Blending soulful rhythm and blues with contemporary sounds, Deputy often appeals to fans of Jack Johnson and Amos Lee. Shakey Graves, a one-man band crossing blues, country and rock and roll, is scheduled to perform at 8:45 p.m. tomorrow.

Although the music is a main staple of the FreeFall Festival, so is the beer. This year, breweries will showcase their best beer selections at the Mountaintop Brewfest tonight from 6:30-9 p.m.

Representing West Virginia University’s hometown, both Morgantown Brewing Company and Mountain State Brewing Company will take part in the event.

Participating in the FreeFall Festival for the past few years, Morgantown Brewing Company is excited to venture up to Snowshoe tomorrow.

“The FreeFall fest is a great place to showcase our beers because it draws a wide crowd from all over West Virginia and neighboring states,” said Jesse Sedlock, lead brewer at Morgantown Brewing Company. “It’s the best time to show the festival goers that world

class craft beer is made right here in the heart of West Virginia.”

Morgantown Brewing Company will feature Zack Morgan’s IPA, Alpha Blonde Ale, Eighty Shilling Scotch Ale and White IPA. Mountain State Brewing Company’s beer list consists of their Cold Trail Ale, Almost Heaven Amber, Seneca Indian Pale Ale and Miner’s Daughter Oatmeal Stout.

Beer buffs travel far and wide to taste the selections at the resort.

“The festival is a great time to enjoy everything Snowshoe has to offer,” Sedlock said, “and it’s even better because local businesses like ours have the opportunity to meet and talk with our customers face to face.”

Each day of the festival, premiere canine aquatic competitions will take place. Those who are interested in spectating the events are encouraged to attend, showing man’s best friend a little support.

Although Snowshoe is a bit of a drive from campus, WVU students and local residents are encouraged to check out the festival.

Exotic Animal and Reptile Expo is a pet paradise Brittany osteen a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Sugar Gliders will be present at this weekend’s Exotic Animal and Reptile Expo.

For the first time ever, the Greater Appalachian Exotic Animal and Reptile Expo will be held at Mylan Park this weekend.

The expo will include a wide variety of exotic animals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, parrots, aquatics, supplies, caging, feeders and dry goods. Specific animals include prairie dogs, sugar gliders, hedgehogs, pocket

possums and possibly a marmoset, which has been nicknamed as a finger monkey. The program is expecting more than a thousand animals.

“We want to keep growing right now on the east coast, as far as I have been able to find, there are no two-day shows,” said owner of the expo and Mountaineer Exotics, Mark Thiele.

“There are only two local, if you want to call Baltimore and Hampton Roads that have exotic animal shows. I found out that the vendors

of those shows are struggling to find places to go.

There are no animal shows that they work with. So this is another opportunity for them to come out here and we hope in years that we can be one of the bigger shows in the country.”

There will be more than 20 vendors attending the event, including M&M Reptile Rescue & Rehoming, Jade Dragon Company, Off the Hook Exotics, Kalistos Feeders and Exotics, Sugar Gliders R Us and LMF Herps. Vendors will

travel from a range of states such as Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania to be part of this inaugural event. Many of these vendors encourage handling their animals. This is not only for people to become comfortable with the animals but also for the animals to remain relaxed and used to human contact.

Throughout the weekend, the event will feature family friendly activities such as a petting zoo and face painting for kids. The expo will also have food vendors, a jewelry vendor and a henna tattoo artist.

Additionally, there will be a group of students from the talented and gifted program at Westwood Middle School fundraising for their educational school trip to Philadelphia.

T h i e l e ’s b u s i n e s s, Mountaineer Exotics, will have a stand as well. They will mainly have their bearded dragons, crested geckos and leopard geckos.

There will be a couple of first-time snake breeds and geckos. They will also have a breed of bearded dragons that only a handful exists in the world.

“We just want people to see what is available to them and the opportunity,” Thiele said. “There are a lot more than just cats and dogs.”

Other animals include Tortis Chameleons aquatic turtles and box turtles, a huge variety of frogs, fish, rabbits, birds, mice, dumbo rats, guinea pigs, skinny pigs, sand boas, boas, venomous snakes, ball pythons, iguanas toads, salamanders scorpions and tarantulas.

The Greater Appalachian Exotic Animal and Reptile Expo isfrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday at the Ruby Community Center in Mylan Park. Admission is $7 for a day pass or $10 for a weekend pass. Kids ages 12 and under may attend for free. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Gold Rush: Go Gold or Go Home hannah harless a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

It’s that time of year again. With September nearing its end, the West Virginia University Mountaineers are well under way into the 2015 college football season. For Mountaineer sports fans, this means spending Saturdays rain or shine tailgating before kickoff and spending time with family and friends while sporting the classic blue and gold.

Throughout the season, the University designates particular game days with dress codes fans are encouraged to follow. These sponsored special color coded games include “Gold Rush,” “Stripe The Stadium” and the recently promoted “True Blue.”

The home game against the Maryland Terrapins is happening at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at Milan Puskar Stadium and has been named the official 2015 “Gold Rush” game.

“Gold Rush” was first introduced during the 2007 WVU football season by head coach of the football team at the time,

Rich Rodriguez. Inspired by the Louisville Cardinals “black out” tradition and the Penn State’s “white out” tradition, Rodriguez felt that WVU needed its own university custom. Since then, the University has carried on the tradition and is prepared to host the 8th annual “Gold Rush.”

With “Gold Rush” so close, fans are scrambling to find gold attire in their wardrobe to be a part of the fun festivity and be unified with other fans supporting the team they love and admire, the West Virginia Mountaineers.

While wearing a school T-shirt and a pair of shorts is a no-brainer when it comes to football season, there are plenty of ways to glam up your look, make your outfit trendy and picture worthy.

The official 2015 Gold Rush T-Shirt can be purchased from 10 to 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25 in the Mountainlair. WVU student James O’Hara’s design was selected after entering into the campuswide contest to design the eighth-annual Gold Rush shirt. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Hannah Harless and Cavon Vagheei show off their go-to gameday outfits.

While some look back at their 80’s fashion sense and cringe, there have been some redeemable trends that have made their way into fall 2015 fashion scene.

West Virginia University Student Cavon Vagheei and I are donning some of the most notable 80’s fashion trends with inspiration from WVU’s Gold Rush.

Vagheei is wearing a gold Tommy Hilfiger sweater along with Ralph Lauren jeans, both of which were from Macy’s. Vagheei rolled the jeans up at the bottom and wore tan old-fashioned vans and a brown watch to finish off the look.

I wore a gold WVU v-neck and paired that with a pair of distressed overalls. Overalls are an extremely popular trend among women in 2015. They are comfortable yet fashion-forward. To finish off the look, I wore black, midtop sneakers from Aldo shoes and fun eye-black stickers with the flying WV printed on them.

Michael Hall and Paige Amick rock their gameday gear, which includes the teams yellow jersey.

Garrett Yurisko/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Michael Hall lines up Paige Amick for the kick wearing their favorite Mountaineer gear.

West Virginia University students Michael Hall and Paige Amick took the sporty trend and added a few things from their everyday wardrobe to make WVU sportswear more representative of their own personal style.

Hall wore a pair of dark American Eagle jeans with a pair of brown Timberland boots to go along with his gold WVU jersey.

Amick wore a three-quarter baseball style shirt from Victoria’s Secret’s WVU college line. The shirt showcased her feminine side with bright, blue glitter on the flying WV logo. Amick paired the Victoria’s Secret shirt with dark wash jeans from Forever 21 and a pair of Freebird boots she purchased from Buckle.

Amick finished off her look by curling her hair and wearing jewelry, donning a watch from Fossil and earrings from Forever 21.

“It is really hard to find gold to wear to the games, since most of my WVU shirts in my wardrobe are blue,” Amick said.

“I saw this shirt while shopping at the mall and thought I had to have it.”

Garrett Yurisko/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Brittany Dulin showcases her favorite gameday outfit for the season.

West Virginia University Student Brittany Dulin chose a dressier look to showcase style options for women’s wear. There are ways to support your Mountaineers without actually wearing a shirt with the school’s logo and can be easy to put together if you don’t have enough time to purchase one before the game.

Dulin is wearing a gold-knit sweater from Wet Seal to share her support for the West Virginia football team. Dulin paired the sweater with a Polo white vneck and light-wash distressed jeans from American Eagle. To complete the look, Dulin wore long blue WVU socks with tall brown boots, a thin-band watch and long earrings.

“I love being able to show my style for game days, especially when the weather gets colder and I can layer pieces,” Dulin said.

Student Poll

Exploring gender differences in preference for pumpkin spice Fall is here, and that means pumpkin spice flavored beverages and treats are available at cafes and restaurants everywhere.

A common stereotype is that pumpkin spice is the go-to flavor for “basic” girls. However, is this actually true?

To find out the validity of the girlslove-pumpkin stereotype, 150 random students in and around the Mountainlair were asked, “Do you like pumpkin spice?” Of the students polled 83 were women and 67 were men.

The results were rather split. Although women displayed a slight preference for pumpkin spice flavored foods and beverages compared to males, the genders were not that different. Of females polled, 59 percent said they liked pumpkin spice.

Of males polled 42 percent said they liked the fall flavor.

It is interesting to note that the “girls-love-pumpkin spice” stereotype is well known. Many girls who answered yes to the question said afterwards, “Of course, can’t you tell?” in a humerous manner.

football

Maryland features several players to watch Sat.

BY DAVID STATMAN

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

The border rivalry between West Virginia and Maryland dates back to 1919, and the two schools have met 51 times over the last century. The two teams have recruited in the same areas for years, with the Washington, DC and Baltimore regions providing tons of football talent.

Even if West Virginia wins most of those recruiting battles, there’s still enough talent there for Maryland to put out a promising squad. Although the Mountaineers are favored on Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium, the Terrapins have a few players to watch who could deal West Virginia some damage.

Caleb Rowe, Quarterback, No. 7 One of college football’s top redheads, Caleb Rowe was put into the starting role for Maryland after Perry Hills completed only 50 percent of his passes in an embarrassing Week 2 loss to Bowling Green.

Named the full-time starter for the first time in his career, Rowe responded brilliantly against South Florida last week, more aptly utilizing Maryland’s offensive weapons and throwing for 297 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-17 win.

Although Rowe has so-

lidified his spot on top of the Terrapin depth chart, he’s still not out of the woods yet. The veteran Hills is still lurking behind him, as well as former Oklahoma State starter Daxx Garman, who is listed as Rowe’s backup this week.

Mar yland’s quarterback situation has been a revolving door for quite some time, and if Rowe struggles, don’t be surprised if head coach Randy Edsall lifts him.

William Likely, Cornerback, No. 4 In cornerback William Likely, Maryland boasts one of the most dynamic and dangerous weapons in college football on both defense and special teams.

Likely comes from Belle Glade, Florida, a town that seems to grow speedy playmakers on trees, and he more than lives up to the standard that past Belle Glade products like Fred Taylor and Travis Benjamin have set.

On defense, Likely pairs up with senior Sean Davis to form one of the most formidable cornerback tandems in the Big Ten. Likely tied for the conference lead with six interceptions last season, bringing two of them back for touchdowns, but his biggest contributions may have been on special teams.

Likely may be the best return man in the nation, and the Mountain-

eers have first-hand experience of just how hard he is to stop, as he ripped off a 69-yard punt return touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter of last year’s West Virginia-Maryland matchup.

Likely has kept it going this season, breaking the Big Ten record for singlegame punt return yards in Maryland’s season opener against Richmond, and taking another one back to the house against Bowling Green.

The matchup between Likely and West Virginia’s Nick O’Toole will be one of the most critical on Saturday.

Levern and Taivon Jacobs, Wide Receivers, No. 8 and No. 12 Maryland’s offense has been able to put points on the board at a decent rate so far, and if they get the talented Jacobs brothers operating at full capacity, they’ll be that much more dangerous.

Both products of Suitland High School in Maryland, the speedy brothers looked much more comfortable against South Florida, stretching the field with Caleb Rowe at quarterback in place of Perry Hills.

The younger and smaller of the Jacobs brothers, the sophomore Taivon, reeled in a 70-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter against South Florida, and the junior Levern finished as Maryland’s leading re-

ceiver with 107 yards on eight catches.

This year has been the first opportunity for Maryland to field both brothers at the same time – Taivon missed most of last season with a knee injury, while Levern was suspended all of last season after finishing 2013 as Maryland’s leading receiver.

Jermaine Carter, Linebacker, No. 23 After serving as a valued member of Maryland’s linebacker rotation as a freshman, Jermaine Carter has emerged as one of Maryland’s top defensive players this season.

Carter recorded 27 tackles as a backup last season, and has so far blown past that mark with 32 tackles in three games – he’s third in the Big Ten in overall tackles per game, and leads the conference in solo tackles per game.

Together with cornerback Sean Davis, Carter forms one-half of the most productive tackling duo in the Big Ten, and Carter brings playmaking potential too – Carter is a quick, powerful ballhawk who forced two fumbles in limited action last year.

Carter is one of the centerpieces of the Maryland defense, playing behind a talented defensive line that also features talented defensive ends Yannick Ngakoue and Quinton Jefferson.

Terrapin defensive line among best WVU will face by dj deskins

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia offensive line has faced some strong players from the defensive fronts of Georgia Southern and Liberty, but neither compare to the talent it will face in the Big 12, or against Maryland this weekend.

Through the first three weeks of the season, the Terps’ defensive line has managed to drag down the opposing quarterback for an impressive 14 sacks, good enough for second in the nation and first in the Big 10, narrowly leading conference

rivals Penn State, Ohio State, Iowa and Michigan State.

A large reason for Maryland’s success on the front line is due to the play of defensive linemen Yannick Ngakoue and Quinton Jefferson.

Ngakoue has accounted for four and a half sacks this season, which ranks fourth in the FBS and second in the Big 10.

Jefferson ranks sixth in the Big 10 with an average of one and a half tackles for loss a game.

The duo has combined for eight sacks this year, outpacing any other combo in their conference.

“They have really high motors. They play hard, and they don’t stop. They keep working

and keep playing,” said West Virginia offensive line coach Ron Crook. “Personnel wise, I think they’re the best group we have seen so far.”

West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard boasts an impressive stat of his own: zero turnovers in 2015.

The Terps are hoping the play from their defensive line changes that stat in their favor. A good pass rush could force Howard to release the ball quicker to avoid a sack, which can lead to an interception in a veteran secondary featuring five players who have combined for 106 career starts.

Maryland needs to fight

through a Mountaineer offensive line that presents a mix of players with different levels of experience.

They’re undoubtedly led by redshirt junior center Tyler Orlosky, who finds himself on the Rimington and Outland Trophy watchlists, awarded to the nation’s best center and best lineman, respectively.

Orlosky is joined by redshirt senior Marquis Lucas, the Mountaineers’ lone senior on the offensive line, at right tackle. He started all 13 games in 2014 and was used on a season-high 108 plays against Maryland last season.

WVU features two redshirt sophomores at the guard po-

sition. Adam Pankey is a utility lineman who has made starts at both guard and tackle while starting in all 13 games in 2014. At the other guard position is Michigan transfer Kyle Bosch who Crook feels has graded out well in his first two outings but still expects him to grow and improve.

At left tackle, redshirt freshman Yodny Cajuste replaces star lineman Quinton Spain, who graduated in 2015 and headed to the NFL Draft. Cajuste still has a lot of growing to do and will be tested by the Terps’ defensive front, but he remains the Mountaineers’ most promising lineman.

“I think we’re still a work in

progress and have a long way to go,” Orlosky said. “The two guards are making really good progress with Pankey, Bosch and (Tony) Matteo switching back and forth. They are doing pretty well. They also are doing well at tackle with (Lucas) as a returning starter and (Cajuste) as a freshman. I think we are going in the right direction.”

The Maryland front will certainly be the Mountaineers’ biggest test of the season, but they’ll face stronger competition each week as they enter Big 12 play, so their test is far from over. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Howard will be challenged by Maryland defense

BY ROGER TURNER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

Skyler Howard will face the toughest defense he’s seen so far this season when Maryland comes to Morgantown for this year’s Gold Rush game Saturday.

A packed house awaits the Mountaineers at 3 p.m. Saturday when they take the field against border rival Maryland.

Junior quarterback Skyler Howard will lead the Mountaineer offensive attack for his third game this season, but this time against a defensive front that has made a home in the offensive backfield.

“Defensively, it starts with their front. They get to the quarterback as good as anybody,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Maryland’s defense ranks

second in the nation with 14 sacks through the first three games of the season; just one sack away from the nation’s leader, Texas A&M. Maryland got after it in their last game, recording six sacks against South Florida.

The Terps’ stout defensive front also racked up 11 tackles for loss.

Maryland defensive ends Roman Braglio and Yannick Ngakoue will serve the biggest threat for the Mountaineer offense this weekend. Braglio recorded career-high two sacks last week against South Florida.

Ngakoue had a record day himself the week before in the Terps’ sole loss of the season against Bowling Green. Ngakoue ranks fourth in the country with 4.5 sacks.

Winning the battle at the line of scrimmage this week

will not be easy for the Mountaineers, as Maryland’s defensive front looks to test the West Virginia offensive line.

“They keep working and getting after it,“ said West Virginia offensive lineman coach Ron Crook about the Maryland defensive line. “Personnel-wise, probably the best group we’ve seen thus far,” he said.

Standing behind a Mountaineer offensive line that has only given up four sacks in two games, Skyler Howard could pose problems for the Terps if he’s forced to escape the pocket.

In last week’s contest for the Mountaineers, Howard unveiled his scrambling ability as a weapon against Liberty. The junior quarterback finished with 68 yards on 12 rushes, and also compiled 250-plus yards through the

air. If given the time, Howard and the Mountaineer offense could light up the scoreboard on the Maryland secondary.

Two weeks ago, Maryland surrendered 491 yards through the air and over 200 yards on the ground in a 4827 loss to Bowling Green. The Terps also allowed six passing touchdowns and forced only one turnover.

The following week, the Terps forced two interceptions and held South Florida’s quarterbacks to only 60 passing yards on 10 completions. However, a trip to Morgantown this weekend will pit Maryland against a highpowered West Virginia attack similar to the Bowling Green offense that burned the Terps for 692 yards of total offense.

West Virginia’s offense averages 514.5 yards per game, accumulating the majority of

their yardage through the air.

Skyler Howard has successfully taken care of the ball the first three games of the season, throwing for five touchdowns and no interceptions going into this week. Howard leads an underrated offensive line and group of receivers, with a chance to prove how good this year’s Mountaineer offense really is against a quality opponent.

This weekend’s game will take place in front of a packed house, which will provide West Virginia a warm-up to the Big 12 game atmosphere to come. Maryland comes to Morgantown with one loss thus far in the season and won’t look past the chance to upend border foe West Virginia.

However, the Terrapins’ struggles lie defensively within the secondary, and

Holgorsen and the Mountaineers are looking forward to the home-field advantage in this week’s rivalry game.

“We’re all eager to head into what should be an electric weekend in Morgantown,” Holgorsen said.

With a full capacity crowd in the stands for the first time this season, anticipate the Mountaineers to hold Maryland in check on both sides of the ball. This Saturday’s game kicks off at 3 p.m. at Milan Puskar Stadium.

McConnell moves ahead with bill

WASHINGTON (AP)— The Senate’s top Republican moved swiftly to avoid a government shutdown in six days, pushing legislation that would keep agencies operating without a contentious fight over money for Planned Parenthood.

The action of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., followed a decisive Senate vote blocking a bill that would have stripped Planned Parenthood of its taxpayer funding while keeping the government running through Dec. 11.

The vote was 47-52, falling short of a majority and well shy of the 60 votes required to overcome a filibuster led

by Democrats. Eight Republicans, several of whom support abortion rights, voted with 42 Democrats and two independents to kill the measure.

McConnell immediately offered a bipartisan stopgap spending bill free of the Planned Parenthood dispute that’s expected to easily clear the Senate next week by a wide bipartisan margin. He has for almost a year promised that Republicans controlling Congress won’t repeat the government shutdown of two years ago.

In the House, GOP leaders called a meeting of their fractious rank and file for Friday morning to discuss whether to accept the Senate’s move or reject it at the risk that continuing the fight over Planned Parenthood would lead to a government shutdown.

The White House signaled President Barack Obama would sign the measure, called a continuing resolution, into law - if the House steps aside from the fight tea party Republicans want over “defunding” Planned Parenthood.

“I think we all know we’re going to have a clean CR,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, RAlaska, using congressional code. “The House is going to figure out what the House is going to do but we can’t shut down the government.”

Speaking at the White House, Obama reminded Congress of the need to keep the government open.

Honoring public health workers for their efforts to combat Ebola, the president said such organizations “need support from Congress in order continue to excel in their mission so I hope that Congress chooses to keep our government open and operating so that heroes like this can keep working.”

Planned Parenthood has long been targeted by Republicans, but their efforts have intensified after the release of secretly recorded videos that raised questions about its handling of fetal tissue provided to scientific researchers.

The group says it is doing nothing wrong and isn’t profiting from such practices in violation of federal law.

The vote to block the stopgap spending bill was widely expected. And on Thursday, the White House issued a statement that Obama would veto it in any event, arguing that it “would limit access to health care for women, men, and families across the nation, and disproportionately impact low-income individuals.”

The Senate’s vote, and the bipartisan measure that followed, cranks up the pressure on the GOP-controlled House. There, GOP leaders have been stymied in their hopes to pass a temporary spending bill known as a continuing resolution.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has only shaky control over his fractious caucus, and tea party Republicans are adamant about using the must-pass measure to carry provisions to defund Planned Parenthood, even at the risk of a partial government shutdown.

GOP leaders like Boehner have counseled privately that it’s a doomed strategy and want to avoid a repeat of the 2013 closure, which hurt the party politically.

McConnell appears to enjoy support from a majority of the Republican rank and file.

“I’d rather it defund Planned Parenthood, but if the votes aren’t there, I don’t see the point of having a standoff,” said Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., chairman of the Senate GOP’s campaign committee.

TERP DOWN FOR WHAT WVU looks to end

Mountaineers face Terps for last time until 2020 by nicole curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

What feels like a longawaited game is finally upon us. It’s “Maryland week” at West Virginia University, and most people are already prepared for kick off.

The Mountaineers are entering the contest 2-0 after shutting out Georgia Southern and defeating Liberty two weeks ago.

The history behind this series dates back to 1919 in the first game played between the two teams; West Virginia won 27-0. All time WVU leads the series 2722-2, and in Morgantown, the Terrapins have only won nine games out of 24 meetings, with one ending in a draw.

“A good Maryland team is coming, they are very well coached. They’re sound in what they do on

all three sides of the ball,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen in Tuesday’s press conference. “They have been doing the same thing offensively for a while now with coach Locksley. They are in position to make plays every time they snap the ball.”

In the years Holgorsen has coached West Virginia, he has defeated Coach Edsall and Maryland three times, with a lone loss in 2013 at M&T Stadium in Baltimore, 37-0. Holgorsen admitted that was the worst loss he has ever taken, and he knows the team was not in a good place two years ago.

Last weekend, the Terrapins defeated the University of South Florida 35-17, with junior quarterback Caleb Rowe, who had his first start since 2013 in last Saturday’s win over the Bulls.

After West Virginia’s first

two games, with a standout win over Georgia Southern and the win over Liberty with a solid performance from quarterback Skyler Howard, Holgorsen knows this might be a bigger test than the offense has faced thus far.

“We have to be patient and put the ball in play where we need to, as well as be able to handle pressure and defeat man coverage, which is what they’ve shown on critical downs,” he said.

Maryland’s defense has produced 14 sacks through three games; through the first two games WVU has played, Howard has been sacked four times. Howard’s mentality is to not disregard the Maryland defense and be prepared for the talent it brings.

“They’re a great group of guys, overall they are solid,” Howard said. “They played one bad quarter of

football, but other than that, they have been great.

Their game against Bowling Green is easy to look at as a loss and blame it on them, but I think they’re a great defense.We can’t take them lightly.”

This is the first time West Virginia has hosted the game in two years, after winning last year in College Park from a 47-yard field goal to end the game.

This is the last year of the series until 2020 when the series is renewed.

The rivalry has strong roots in recruitment, as well as how close the two schools are.

“This is the last borderrival we have, so we’ve got to go out there and attack them,” said senior cornerback Terrell Chestnut.

“They don’t like us, so we have to be ready to go out there and expect their best.” ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia University men’s soccer team looks to turn things around in it’s game against UNC-Greensboro tomorrow.

The Mountaineers have registered two goals and four shots on goal, ever since their dominating 6-2 win against James Madison on Sept. 11.

WVU is coming off backto-back losses against Wright State and No. 18 Georgetown.

“There is disappointment in the result on the weekend…there was disappointment from the game before where we scored two good goals and end up losing the game,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

The Spartans (4-2-2) are coming off a season where most of the 2014 starters did not return. However, key returnees include senior Jacques Francois and junior Damieon Thomas, who is currently leading the Southern Conference in both points and goals.

Led by head coach Justin Maullin, the Spartans bounced back after a disastrous season last year to establish itself as the top offensive squad in the Southern Conference.

UNCG is coming off an overtime loss to High Point University; marking the fourth time the Spartans reached overtime this season.

WVU has some hopefuls to return to the field including Ryan Cain, Jad Arslan and Louis Thomas. Arslan and Thomas both left the match in the latter stages with undisclosed injuries. LeBlanc said this week gave his team time to refocus.

“The mentality has been really good” he said. “The guys’ energy and the focus has been good.”

There is no questioning the offensive ability WVU’s offense holds; the team is still

second in the Mid American Conference in points, but it’s enhanced by the fact that lately every opposing goalkeeper has been lights out.

UNCG’s goalkeeper, Logan Rohde is playing in his first year with the team. He posted eight shutouts last season at Greensboro College, but his welcome to UNCG hasn’t been the best.

Rohde is fifth in the Southern Conference in Goals Allowed, and sixth in Save Percentage. However, his team still finds out ways to win.

Coach LeBlanc doesn’t believe the Mountaineers’ current record reflects the play of the team so far.

After consecutive shots off the goalpost against Michigan State, controversial offside calls against Wright State and a red card that changed the momentum against Georgetown, LeBlanc could only describe his team as being “snake bitten”. “ We’re fighting with a little bit of bad luck, but we’re not playing badly,” LeBlanc said.

It will be interesting to see who gets the nod in net for WVU, as freshman Alec Boerner looked impressive in his season debut, last Sunday. Senior Daniel Diaz has regularly been the team’s starting goalkeeper.

This matchup will be the first game since WVU earned National Academic Honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. It marks the eighth consecutive year the team earned this achievement for the team’s grade point average, in the 2014-15 academic year.

“To be recognized for this award for the eighth consecutive season shows that we’ve once again achieved our academic goals,” LeBlanc said in an interview with WVUsports.com.

Tomorrow’s game kicks off at 6 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia faces No. 4 Texas in Big 12 opener

BY DYLAN O’TOOLE SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

Heading into tonight’s showdown against Texas, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team is on a roll, and the momentum doesn’t seem likely to subside in the near future.

Strapped with its highest ranking in program history, No. 4, WVU will clash with the Longhorns at 7 p.m. tonight at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The game is the first of Big 12 play for the Mountaineers, whose eight-

match shutout streak has in turn propelled them to an eight-match win streak.

WVU is fresh off three consecutive Big 12 regular season conference titles and appears poised to continue that streak this season.

For Mountaineer head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, home-field advantage is a perk WVU is looking to use Friday night.

“This is a huge game for our fans – we’re going to need everyone out Friday night to cheer us on,” Izzo-Brown said in an interview with WVUsports.com.

“When we go to Texas, they get more than 4,000 fans in their stands. We’ll need that type of support behind us as we open our conference season.”

WVU holds an all-time 3-1-1 series advantage. In 2014, the Longhorns fell to the Mountaineers by way of penalty kicks in the Big 12 Conference semifinals.

The Longhorns stand at 3-2-3 on the season and boast a 2-1 road win at No. 14 UCLA in addition to playing No. 18 Ohio State to a draw. WVU took down the Buckeyes 2-0 at Columbus on Sept. 11.

In its last match, Texas played to a scoreless draw against Arkansas-Little Rock on Sept. 20.

Even with the ups and downs the Longhorns have endured this season, the Mountaineers know that Texas poses some unique challenges.

“Texas is one of those teams in the Big 12 that is going to cause all types of problems,” Izzo-Brown said. “We know they have a great team and great athletes – they won at UCLA. They’ll be organized and ready, and we know it’s going to be a battle Friday

night. I think there will definitely be some emotion Friday night, especially given the way we last moved past them at the conference championship. Both teams are definitely going to be motivated Friday night.”

The Mountaineers are coming off two 1-0 victories over Buffalo and Florida Gulf Coast, but against top competition, WVU has flourished.

The 9-1 Mountaineers own a 2-1 record against ranked competition, including wins over Big Ten powers Penn State and Ohio State. WVU’s lone loss

this season came on the road against Virginia Tech.

The Mountaineers have been helped to their 9-1 record mainly by sophomore forward Michaela Abam, who leads the Big 12 with seven goals this season.

Senior Kailey Utley has proved to be a calming presence for the Mountaineers, as she has posted six goals and five assists this season.

Tonight, the Mountaineers are hoping for a raucous environment, which they hope leads to an extension of their win streak. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers open Big 12 play with match against No. 2 Texas Longhorns by johnna herbig sports correspondent @dailyathenauem

The West Virginia University volleyball team will play its second home game of the season tonight.

The Mountaineers face off against the Texas Longhorns, which is the opening of Big 12 Conference play for WVU. Last weekend, West Virginia participated in the Winthrop Invitational, winning two matches and losing one.

The Mountaineers now have a record of 5-7 for the

season so far.

The first match of the tournament was Friday against the Winthrop Eagles, where they won 3-1.

The set scores for this match were 25-22, 25-16, 23-15 and 25-17.

In that game, sophomore outside hitter Morgan Montgomery led the offense with 22 kills and sophomore libero Gianna Gotterba had 25 digs.

The match against the Davidson Wildcats was their second game, where they won 3-0. 25-8, 25-23 and 25-17 were the set scores for the match. Sophomore Mia

Swanegan led the Mountaineers this match with 13 kills.

The third and final game of this tournament was against the Racers from Murray State, where WVU lost 3-1, ruining the winning streak the team had.

The set scores for this match were 25-18, 25-15, 21-15 and 25-20.

During this game, Montgomery led the offense having 22 kills, while she also led the team’s defense having 15 digs, which resulted in her getting her fifth double-double of the season.

This momentum lead-

ing into conference play is something the Mountaineers needed.

“The girls are great, you have to face adversity and overcome adversity, so they are great about those things,” said head coach Reed Sunahara in reference to the volleyball team’s flaws in matches this season. “Hopefully, it’s a lesson to be learned and we are learning every single day.”

West Virginia has faced Texas at home for the last three seasons as the Big 12 opener last year almost winning the match but los-

ing the second and fifth sets. Each year, the Longhorns are ranked coming into the game and a tough opponent; this year, they come in with an 11-1 record and ranked No. 2 in the nation, No. 1 in the Big 12.

Texas is coming off a shutout match against TCU Wednesday night. Senior outside hitter Amy Neal led the offense with 18 kills, and junior middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogo followed with 13.

For the season, Neal is leading the team offensively with 170 kills, and Ogbogo is right behind her

with 124.

The defense is led by sophomore libero Cat McCoy, who has 197 digs, followed by junior setter Chloe Collins with 89 digs.

“Hopefully we will continue to get better and keep working hard,” Sunahara said about the Big 12 slate coming up. “Our goal is to get better every day we need to keep competing hard.”

WVU opens home slate with Pink Invitational by nicole curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

This weekend, the West Virginia University women’s tennis team opens its home schedule with the WVU Pink Invitational to support breast cancer awareness.

The three-day tournament includes Toledo, Buffalo, Wright State and Maryland and starts today at 9 a.m. There will be four full flights and one round robin flight for singles action, as well as three full flights of doubles actions.

“Its nice to play at home and play some solid competition, but at the same time the players don’t have to miss class or exams,” said head coach Miha Lisac in an interview with WVUsports.com. “It’s nice to compete in a familiar environment, and

we’re happy to host tournaments here at home. We are happy with the teams coming into play, and it’s going to be a solid weekend of competition.”

In singles matches last week against the Terps, Habiba Shaker and Carolina Lewis were successful in defeating their opponents.

Doubles matches against Maryland proved about the same. West Virginia won one out of four matches, with the duo of Lyn Yuen Choo and Shaker against the pair of Olga Gaistruk and Olivia Gaudreault taking the lone win.

After her performance in the Tribe Invite last week, Shaker earned tournament honors being named to the Tribe Invitational All-Tournament Team. She went three-forthree in singles action.

“During the first tour-

tional last week where the team took home three of the seven singles matches.

Leading the Rockets in their performances this year is senior Mackenzie Bowman, sophomore Sid-

nay Huck and freshman Clair Aleck.

Also at the BGSU tournament was Wright State who took the titles in singles and doubles play over Toledo. Buffalo enters the tournament after participating in the Cornell Fall Invite two weeks ago; the Bulls left with the title for the D Flight Singles and Second Doubles Flight.

With several rematches in the Pink Invitational this weekend, it will be interesting to see what changes teams have made in approaching their opponents. Today’s competition goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., continues tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and again on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All matches will be played at the Mountaineer tennis courts by the Coliseum. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

ANDREW SPELLMAN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU’s Wendell Smallwood fights through two tacklers last year against Alabama.

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Although head coach Dana Holgorsen is usually known as the wide receiver guru, one of his many offensive stars usually lines up in the backfield.

Junior halfback Wendell Smallwood has emerged as a crucial element to the Mountaineers’ potent offensive attack the last two seasons, amassing 231 yards through the first two games of 2015.

Smallwood’s versatility has continued to help him develop into one of the Big 12’s top athletes on the football field. Although he’s mainly utilized as a running back, he also sees his fair share of time as a wide receiver.

Through the first two weeks, 47 of his 231 yards have come through the air.

His eight receptions are the second most on the team, behind true freshman receiver Jovon Durante (10).

In Big 12 play last year, Smallwood averaged 4.9 yards per carry and rushed for 575 yards, surpassing 100 yards in victories over Oklahoma State (132) and Texas Tech (123).

Many comparisons have been drawn between Smallwood and former Mountaineer star Charles Sims, now a second-year player on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his only season in Morgantown after transferring from the University of Houston, Sims totaled 1,496 total yards and eight touchdowns.

Sims’ talents generated a third round selection

by Tampa Bay in the 2014 Draft, remaining the backup running back behind 2012 Rookie of the Year finalist and 2013 Pro Bowler Doug Martin.

Through two games, Sims has 50 rushing yards on 13 carries and 37 yards re-

ceiving on five catches. Although those stats aren’t eye-popping, his versatility is eerily similar to Smallwood’s and becomes necessary in many on-field situations.

“They’re very, very similar,” Holgorsen said before the season. “We could kind of tell that last year a little bit.”

Playing behind a passheavy attack has taken away some of the recognition Smallwood has earned himself. Another crafty performance against the Terrapins’ defensive line, considered one of the Big Ten’s best, will garner the attention he deserves.

“We’ve got to come up with the ball up front and be physical because they’re going to be physical,” said running back coach JaJuan Seider.

Opposing offenses average 3.9 yards a carry against the Maryland defense, and although they’re 83rd nationally in run defense, the coaching staff knows how tough their linemen are against both the run and the pass.

However, South Florida’s run offense excelled despite falling to the Terrapins 35-17 last Saturday. Marlon Mack led the attack with 71 yards on 12 touches, with the offense gaining 240 rush yards on 50 carries.

If last week’s USF efforts against Maryland’s interior defense are any indication, it could be a coming-out party for Smallwood and the WVU rushing attack after he and Rushel Shell averaged just 3.4 yards against that same defense in last year’s 40-37 thrilling last-second victory.

“I’d like to see us pound the ball a little more,” Seider said. “We have good numbers in the run game, but I think we can exceed those and they think they can too.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU vs. Maryland has long history behind game by neel madhavan sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Mountaineers and the Maryland Terrapins will meet for the 52nd time in their storied rivalry this weekend, and for the last time until the 2020 season.

Since the schools typically play early in the season, the game is often used by the teams as a measuring stick for how the rest of the season will play out.

West Virginia University’s move to the Big 12 and Maryland’s move to the Big Ten has made it more difficult for the teams to schedule one another on a regular basis. But the fans, the players, the coaches and the administrations want to keep the rivalry going for as long as the schedule allows.

Unlike with WVU’s other notable regional rivals like Pitt or Penn State, the Mountaineers lead the all-time series with the Terps, 27-22-2. The West Virginia-Maryland (then known as Western Maryland) rivalry first began on Oct. 8, 1919, a 27-0 Mountaineer victory.

Longtime Mountaineer fans might remember the 2002 and 2003 seasons when quarterback Scott McBrien, a WVU transfer, led the Terps to two blowout wins in the regular season, and then again later in the 2003 season in the Gator Bowl. Or maybe you remember, the 2004 season, when a resilient Moun-

They outWVU quarterback Rasheed Marshall.

Other notable games in the series include the 1992 matchup where Maryland had a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter, but a miraculous comeback led to a 34-33 victory for the Mountaineers.

Also, in 1982 a nail-biting matchup of ranked teams and two legendary quarterbacks in Jeff Hostetler for WVU, and Boomer Esiason for Maryland, that ended in a 19-18 win for WVU thanks to a failed game-winning twopoint conversion by the Terps.

The 37-0 beatdown by the Terps in 2013 aside, the Mountaineers have largely dominated this series in recent years, boasting an 8-1 record against Maryland since the 2004 regu-

played us; they strained harder; their effort was better. Everything that could’ve went wrong, went wrong.”

There’s certainly no love lost between these two border rivals, who not only compete on the field but also share a lot of the same recruiting territory.

The Washington DC/ Baltimore area is a hotbed recruiting territory for football, and both West Virginia and Maryland fight for the areas talent year-after-year. WVU has had a number of stars over the years from the state of Maryland, including linebackers Pat Lazear and Terence Garvin, de-

fensive backs Brian King and Antonio Lewis, and more recently current St. Louis Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin and current backup quarterback William Crest Jr. Last season, the Mountaineers defeated Maryland 40-37 in College Park, thanks to a game-winning walk-off field goal from Josh Lambert. A sell-out crowd is expected at Milan Puskar Stadium on Saturday afternoon for a tough, nail-biting matchup between two border rivals.

As is the usual case between these two teams, it promises to be a thrilling affair. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
