WVU Race to Royalty DEFEATED Editor’s note: Each day this week, The Daily Athenaeum will feature two candidates, a man and a woman, who are running for Homecoming Court.

by caroline peters staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The emails have been sent, and this year’s West Virginia University Homecoming Court lineup has been announced. Kaylee Kuzma, an exercise physiology student from Erie, Pa., and Samuel Richardson, a multi-disciplinary studies student from Pittsford, N.Y., have both made the lineup.

Kuzma said she was weary about running for court because she initially assumed only students involved in Greek life or citizens of West Virginia would be chosen.

“I kind of looked at it since freshman year. Back then, I saw that they were in Greek life and were from West Virginia” Kuzma said. “I’m neither of the two, so when I found out that both of those things were false, I loved this school so much, I wanted to try it.”

After talking to students, Kuzma realized she stood a chance.

“I just asked around,” Kuzma said.

“One of my older friends in Adventure WV, my mentor, was on Homecoming Court two years ago. She made it.”

Kuzma said she wants to show students they can be involved at the University.

“My main reason is just to show other students you can make it. You can be from a different state, and you can come here and absolutely love everything about the campus,” Kuzma said. “I also wanted to be a good person that the alumni and school can look at and be proud (of ), because our institution is changing the lives of students everyday.”

After discovering she had made Court, Kuzma said she encountered a variety of emotions.

“The wait to find out was long, and I was getting real nervous. I didn’t think I made it until I checked my inbox on my email,” Kuzma said. “I was sitting next to my friend, and she looked at me and I had this grin on my face and I had so many emotions. I teared up a little bit. I made it.”

If she wins, Kuzma said she would like to be a role model for students who wish to accomplish their goals in college.

“If I win, I would just use the title

to show students that you can find a well-rounded balance here. You can do well academically and socially and all that stuff, and you can be whatever you want to be here,” Kuzma said. “I want students to know they can be whatever and get whatever they want out of this University, they just have to try it.”

Richardson said he has envisioned himself on Homecoming Court since freshman year.

Recruiting Mountaineers through ‘Face to Face’ by rachel mcbride correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University recently launched its series of events titled “Face to Face with WVU.” The program is directed toward bringing experience and knowledge to potential Mountaineers, with the hopes that this series will help ease students’

transitions into college life.

This is the second consecutive year “Face to Face with WVU” has been hosted.

The program is for high school, transfer and graduate students.

“It is our mission to serve the students of West Virginia.

This way, they know what it means to be a part of the Mountaineer family,” said Kate Padula, the Office of

Admissions associate director. “We want to bring WVU to the people.”

The program consists of agents from the Office of Admissions, colleges within West Virginia University, WVU student representatives, Financial Aid representatives, as well as members of other student and non-student organizations within the University.

WVU President Gordon Gee is also projected to be present at many of the events.

“It really is a collaborative effort,” Padula said.

The collaborative effort within “Face to Face with WVU” has brought about positive responses among both the audience and the representatives for the organization.

“Going out into the community is part of our mission, and it is really enjoyable for us to be in the backyards of the students,” Padula said.

There are plans to always have a program designed to increase engagement with future students of WVU. “Face to Face with WVU’”recently held its first event in Parkersburg, W.Va. The next event is set to take

place in Shepardstown, W.Va. on Tuesday.

This year’s Face to Face series will last until the end of October.

International Festival Baseball stadium a ‘game changer’ for WVU attracts students by rachel mcbride correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s Office of International Students and Scholars hosted an International Festival at the Hazel Ruby McQuain Park on Friday.

This year’s event attracted 19 clubs and organizations representing different cultures from around the world.

The festival exhibitions included face painting, a variety of food tastings, presentations of arts and crafts, as well as multi-cultural entertainment from a variety of nations.

The event was free and open to the public.

Many middle and high schools attended the international festival. However, many of the students running the festival said they wish more WVU students would have attended.

“Not a lot of WVU students come to these types

of events,” said Effy Fachruddin, a junior at WVU. “However, international culture is something we can all learn from.”

Amir Tafreshian, a graduate student at WVU, highlighted the same type of sentiment. He expressed how important it is for people of all ages to attend multi-cultural events as it helps change the false assumptions people have of many cultures.

Tafreshian also said the location and timing of the event was a problem for many students. Fachruddin agreed with this statement, and said a place like the Mountainlair, located on the Downtown campus, would be an easily accessed location for students.

Frustration regarding location and time were common themes among the exhibitors.

The new WVU Baseball stadium is well underway at University Town Centre. Construction began began Oct. 17, 2013

by david schlake staff writer @dailyathenaeum

If all goes according to plan, West Virginia University’s baseball team will play in a new stadium this year.

The project that was laid out to originally be complete in time for this coming season in 2015 seems to be on schedule.

WVU broke ground on the stadium Oct. 17, 2013.

Now, the ground has been leveled and treated, and the frame of the soon-to-be concourse seating arrangement is standing up and giv-

ing Morgantown an idea of what to expect.

“It’s a game changer,” said Oliver Luck, WVU athletic director. “Historically, baseball hasn’t been a premiere sport here. Part of that’s due to the weather, which we can’t change. But, part of it is due to the condition of our facilities and the lack of interest and lack of success.”

Luck claims most of the progress WVU has made toward developing a premiere baseball program should be credited to the school’s migration into the Big 12.

“The Big East didn’t really care about baseball be-

cause it just wasn’t one of their premiere sports. Going to the Big 12 was monumental for the baseball program,” Luck said. “But to really take advantage of the very good competition in the conference, we needed a new ballpark.”

Luck stressed how improved facilities will change a team’s success by simply bringing attention to a baseball atmosphere in Morgantown that has been nonexistent in the past.

“People don’t realize that good coaches have opportunities all over the country. A good coach isn’t going

to agree to come to a school where the ballpark is subpar,” Luck said. “That was all part of the plan to attract a good coach, and we got a great one in Randy Mazey.

Ultimately, when the stadium’s done in the spring and there are 3,000 people up there watching games, people are going to talk about how much our program has turned itself around, and more attention means more attendance, more recruiting and more success.”

Vet arrested at White House Saturday needs help MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — An Iraq war veteran accused of scaling a fence and making it into the White House before the Secret Service stopped him posed no threat to anyone and needs counseling instead of prosecution, members of his family said Sunday.

Omar Gonzalez, 42, was arrested Friday and is expected in federal court Monday to face charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon — a small folding knife in this case.

Jerry Murphy, whose mother was married to Gonzalez for several years, said Gonzalez suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder and that he needs treatment. He said Gonzalez has been driving around the country and living out of his truck for the past couple of years, and that he always carries his knife.

“I know he’s got heavy artillery, you know?” Murphy added. “He’s got all kinds of weapons and he was trained to use them. I believe if he wanted to make a scene or cause problems, he very well could have. But it’s clear that he didn’t.”

The Secret Service has come under heavy criticism since the embarrassing security breach, which happened when the first family wasn’t at the White House. Secret Service Director Julia Pierson ordered increased surveillance and more officer patrols at the White House, as the agency investigates what went wrong.

The Army said Gonzalez enlisted in July 1997 and remained until completing his service obligation in September 2003. He reenlisted in July 2005 and served until his re-

The military does not provide details about a soldier’s disability due to privacy considerations.

Bell said she and Gonzalez married in 2006 and lived together in Copperas Cove, near Fort Hood, until she split up with him in 2010 because of his worsening mental condition. After his second tour in Iraq, Gonzalez began carrying a .45 on his hip at all times and kept three or four rifles and shotguns behind the doors in their home, said Bell, who remarried and now lives in southern Indiana.

She said Gonzalez kept the blinds drawn and would repeatedly go downstairs during the night to make sure ment programs designed toward embracing cultural diversity.

the doors were locked and the oven was off. She said she once woke up in the middle of the night to find Gonzalez standing at the foot of the bed and staring at her. She said he told her he was simply watching her sleep.

“Omar is a good guy; he’s just got some issues that he needs help with,” she said. “I think this is a cry out for help, what he’s done.”

The seasons won’t overlap between the Mountaineers and the nameless Minor League team, as the New York-Penn League only goes from June to September, meaning the season should start as soon as Mountaineer baseball ends.

“The minor league team is absolutely perfect for the Morgantown community, it’s going to add so much to the baseball culture here,” Luck said. “There’s really not a whole lot to do in the summer in Morgantown, so it really gives people something to look forward to in the summer when it gets quiet here.

Murphy’s sister described Gonzalez as a kind, gentle man who was scarred by war.

“He was the kind of person everyone liked,” said Rainie Murphy-Gandy, 24, of Midland, who lived with her mom and Gonzalez when he was based at Fort Hood. “He just started going downhill.”

Less than 24 hours after Gonzalez’s arrest, a second man was apprehended after he drove up to a White House gate and refused to leave, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said, prompt-

ing bomb technicians in full gear to search the vehicle as agents briefly shut down nearby streets.

On Sunday, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary identified the man as Kevin Carr, 19, of Shamong, New Jersey.

Richardson said he didn’t think he would chosen, and was excited to discover his email. “(A friend and I) both decided to go out for Homecoming Court. He is a great guy, and has done so much for his organization,” Richardson said. “We had expected that night that we would receive an email, because according to the campaign timeline, we should have by midnight. We didn’t end up getting an email that night.

I woke up at 9:30 a.m. and checked it first thing and saw my name.”

Richardson said if he wins Homecoming King, he will find a special role to play within the University.

“I always saw an outside perspective that the winner of homecoming didn’t really seem to have a role.

What does a king or queen do? That’s probably why we see a low voter turnout from elections,” Richardson said. “I want to work on getting students elected.

I see the winner as a selfless person who is willing to be a University worker and get the University to (fundraise).”

to see a lot of people from surrounding areas come to watch games, so economically, it’s great for the town.”

Luck mentioned that if by chance the stadium wasn’t completed in time, Hawley Field would still serve as the home of Mountaineer baseball.

“Currently, they are right on schedule, but worst case scenario we just play on the same field we’ve played on for the last 40 years,” Luck said.

The plan for Hawley Field once the new stadium debuts is still uncertain, but Luck claims there are several ideas floating around.

“There are a lot of things we could do with that space, but ultimately, we really need more parking,” Luck said. “So, there’s a good chance we’ll turn it into another parking lot, but there are still other possibilities.”

Grant Dovey, assistant director of Athletic Communications, said the field is right on schedule to be complete

by March 2015.

He described the project as one that is moving quickly and efficiently. He said he believes the people of Morgantown and the WVU community have a lot to look forward to.

“The team’s pretty pumped up,” Dovey said. “In past years, in the Big 12, our baseball stadium has been at the bottom compared to other teams in the conference. Now, our stadium will be at the top, which means more fans, better recruiting and better baseball.”

The stadium is projected to actually seat around 2,500 fans, but there will be hillside seating to fit more. It will be at the end of University Town Centre Drive, behind Walmart and the soon-to-be Health Sciences building.

According to Dovey, the team is working with different turf companies for the actual field. The field will feature a turf infield with dirt base paths and a dirt mound. The left and right field lines will be 325 feet, the power alleys will be 375 feet and center field will be 400 feet.

The seating for the stadium will fit in a concourse structure that leaves almost every part of the stadium open to watch the game.

“It’s all going to be open,” Dovey said. “If you’re in the bathroom, getting food or just want to walk around, you can still watch the game.”

In right field by the foul pole, there will be a club house with offices, a team theater to watch film, an athletic training room and equipment room, strength and conditioning rooms and possibly an indoor baseball facility at a later time. There will also be a press box on the second level of the concourse behind home plate.

Q&A with Lady Gaga: surgery, ‘ARTPOP,’ int’l tour NEW YORK (AP) — After hip surgery and parting ways with her longtime manager, Lady Gaga says things are looking up.

“I’ve very centered now.

I meditate a lot. I’m happy.

I am more sober than I’ve ever been,” the singer said interview this week. “It’s a very happy time in my life.”

Last year, Gaga parted ways with longtime manager Troy Carter, who helped the pop star achieve multiplatinum status, dominate the pop charts and win multiple Grammy Awards. She said she was overworked and that greed led to their split.

“Part of what was making my sort of artistic experience so unpleasant was that I felt that I was not able to truly freely fly as an artist,” she said. “In some ways my talents were not being used to their full potential.”

Gaga says part of her happier state of mind comes from working with Tony Bennett on the album “Cheek to Cheek,” out on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old is currently on an international tour that wraps Nov. 24 in Paris.

Calling from Istanbul, she spoke with The Associated Press about being unhappy, letting go of her manager, her under-selling “ARTPOP” album and performing in Tel Aviv.

AP: Did your disagreements with management affect the making of “ARTPOP”?

Gaga: It certainly af-

fected my mind during “ARTPOP.” I would have to say that whole situation had less to do with creativity differences and more to do with me really needing some time from myself to be creative. My schedule was way too difficult, I was not able to keep up and my whole business became very focused on making as much money as possible as quickly as possible, which is really not where my heart is. My integrity as a musician is so much more important to me than money. ... While I was making “ARTPOP,” I was very tired. I’m actually very proud of “ARTPOP.” As much as it’s had a lot of criticism, I think a lot of that had to with where I am in my career, I’ve been on top for a long time, I think it’s the nature of this industry - we love to build them up to tear them down.

AP: You sound like you’re in a good place.

Is that spilling over to the new music you’re creating?

Gaga: It is in the very super early stages. I’m always writing music. I was up all the other night here in Istanbul writing and they had a lovely piano in my room and I was so excited, especially when I get to pay a real stringed piano, not an electronic one, that always makes me happy.

I’ve been writing some records that I really sort of surprised at myself. I have a lot of pain built over the past few years. It was very difficult being on the road

for this “Born This Way Ball” without having a full, proper team around me. I was going through a lot of pain with my body that led to the hip surgery. I call it the “Pain of fame.” ...Your life changes a lot and the people that around you, they change too. Money makes people crazy and they see your life change and all of the luxuries and the things that come with becoming a star and they think, “I’ve known her my whole life ... or I’ve been here this whole time, I deserve all of that too.”

AP : Other singers have backed out of performing in Tel Aviv. How did you make the decision to perform there this week?

Gaga: I was very confident based on my relationships with lots of internal, political people. We’re very lucky to have great relationships with the White House. They let us know it would be very safe while we were there, and I hope to share that with the world so that they know it is safe to be in Tel Aviv right now.

But I have to say, and I don’t mean this as a suggestion that anything bad would have happened, but I’m a gypsy and I live around the world, so in my mind when I was staying in Tel Aviv - I say this on my song “Gypsy” on “ARTPOP”: “Be my home just for the day” - that would have been my home while I was there and it was. ...

I felt a beautiful energy

when I was there.

AP: U2 released its new album alongside Apple, and Jay Z and Beyonce also released recent albums in unconventional ways.

What do you think about that and do you think of innovative ways to release music when readying a project?

Gaga: I think honestly what we need to be doing, and this is my opinion, is instead of trying to find ways to trick the world into focusing on the album for a brief moment, I think that artists need to speak more about how media treats the artists and making the distinction between the celebrity and the artist, because everything is all in one pool now isn’t it? We’re all the same and they’re some pretty terrible celebrities out there, let’s be honest, right? People famous for no reason. So, I think the more the media can help us to support the artist and support music in a way that’s maybe less critical for journalists that are not as knowledgeable about music and help to just spread the music and see the music as gift to the world.

I really believe that once the press becomes more kind I think a lot of the things in the universe are going to change. It makes me scared when I hear that there’s pro-ISIS (Islamic State in Syria) rallies in America because I think that social media has created this sort of nega-

People feel that they can say or do anything; it makes them feel a sort of comfort when really it’s just giving hatred a petri dish to fester. I know that was sort of a random answer for a question about album marketing. I really believe it lies in the hearts

in the people that are writing about the music. The more we honor and support the artist, the more the art will live on forever. Otherwise, it’s going to continue to be what I think pop music is now, which is sort of this giant tabloid. It’s become quite trashy in my opinion.

Alicia Keys, others celebrate the life of Ruby Dee iHeartRadio kicks off in NEW YORK (AP) — Actress and civil rights activist Ruby Dee was memorialized Saturday in poetry, dance and song at a packed Harlem cathedral where Alicia Keys sang her song “Superwoman,” Wynton Marsalis performed a stirring trumpet solo, and wellwishes were sent from Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte and the White House.

The three-hour celebration of Lee’s life was held at the cavernous Riverside Church in New York on Saturday. Dee died June 11 at age 91 and was called everything from a “small but mighty lady,” to a “street-fighter” to the “voice of our humanity.”

Her beloved husband Ossie Davis, whom she married in 1948, died in 2005. The Rev. James A. Forbes Jr. in his remarks said Davis had likely been waiting for her outside the pearly gates since then.

The ceremony was both sad and funny, celebrating someone who was both “mommy” and an icon who faced down apartheid in South Africa. “This was an absolute celebration,” said actor Courtney B. Vance afterward.

He also attended a memorial for Davis at the same church:

“She and Ossie - they did it.

They broke the mold. It’s for us to now follow them.”

Dee’s grandkids painted a private portrait of a woman who never slept in, who loved apple cider vinegar, who rarely threw out old food and who loved gardening and a glass of red wine - with an ice cube. They said she believed in hard work, never took a day off, and even would require they submit to an interview before they were granted a part-time job helping her out in the summers. Her son, Guy Davis, sang his sweet song “Love Looks Good on You.” Dee’s long career earned her an Emmy, a Grammy, two Screen Actors Guild awards, the NAACP Image Award, Kennedy Center Honors, the National Medal of Art and the National Civil Rights Museum’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She earned an Oscar nomination at age 83 for best supporting actress for her role in the 2007 film “American Gangster.”

Former New York City mayor David Dinkins read a letter from Barack and Michelle Obama that praised her for an “extraordinary life” and for “throwing open the doors

of opportunity.” The couple noted that they saw Dee act in Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” on their first date.

Eight actresses - Tyne Daly, Kim Fields, S. Epatha Merkerson, Phylicia Rashad, Elizabeth Van Dyke, Pauletta Washington, Susan Taylor and Lynn Whitfield - read sections of Dee’s poetry and prose. Peter Yarrow, of the band Peter, Paul and Mary and who had joined Dee on the 1963 March on Washington, sang a medley of “This Little Light of Mine” and “Down by the Riverside” with his daughter, Bethany Yarrow.

Poet Sonia Sanchez delivered a feisty piece that blended word and song, and a tribute was danced by four women to a recording of Dee reading her poem “I Am Somebody.” Actresses Angela Bassett and Audra McDonald had to pull out at the last minute.

Dee made her Broadway debut in the original production of “South Pacific” and in 1965 became the first black woman to play lead roles at the American Shakespeare Festival. She won an Obie Award for the title role

in Athol Fugard’s “Boesman and Lena” and a Drama Desk Award for her role in “Wedding Band.”

On television, Dee was a leading cast member on the soap operas “Guiding Light” and “Peyton Place,” a rare sight for a black actress in the 1950s and 60s.

Actor Glynn Turman, who played Dee’s son in both “A Raisin in the Sun” on Broadway and again on TV’s “Peyton Place,” gave a soulful speech in which he recounted the times she always helped him when their paths crossed.

“I feel honored to have known Ruby Dee but I feel so very blessed that she knew me,” he said.

Belafonte submitted a video eulogy in which he praised Dee’s humanity and sense of justice, and hoped that Dee and Davis would be reunited in the hereafter. Poitier sent a letter to be read that called Dee “an artist, the likes of which I have never seen. As a matter of fact, because of Ruby Dee, I always tried to stretch myself beyond my capacities and reach for my own untapped expressions of the work.”

Singer, actress Polly Bergen dies at 84, natural causes NEW YORK (AP) — Emmywinning actress and singer Polly Bergen, who in a long career played the terrorized wife in the original “Cape Fear” and the first woman president in “Kisses for My President,” died Saturday, according to her publicist. She was 84.

Bergen died at her home in Southbury, Connecticut, from natural causes, said publicist Judy Katz, surrounded by family and close friends.

A brunette beauty with a warm, sultry singing voice, Bergen was a household name from her 20s onward.

In recent years, she played Felicity Huffman’s mother on “Desperate Housewives” and the past mistress of Tony Soprano’s late father on “The Sopranos.”

Bergen won an Emmy in 1958 portraying the tragic singer Helen Morgan on the famed anthology series “Playhouse 90.” She was nominated for another Emmy in 1989 for best supporting actress in a miniseries or special for “War and Remembrance.”

Talking to women in a business group in 1968, she said her definition of success was “when you feel what you’ve done fulfills yourself, makes you happy and makes people around you happy.”

Bergen was 20 and already an established singer when she starred with Dean Mar-

tin and Jerry Lewis in her first movie, “At War With the Army.” She joined them in two more comedies, “That’s My Boy” and “The Stooge.”

In 1953, she made her Broadway debut with Harry Belafonte in the revue “John Murray Anderson’s Almanac.” In 1957-58 she starred on the musical-variety “The Polly Bergen Show” on NBC, closing every broadcast with her theme song, “The Party’s Over.”

Bergen published the first of her three advice books, “The Polly Bergen Book of Beauty, Fashion and Charm” in 1962. That led to her own cosmetics company, which earned her millions.

Bergen became a regular in TV movies and miniseries, most importantly in the 1983 epic “The Winds of War” and the 1988 sequel, “War and Remembrance.” She appeared as the troubled wife of high-ranking Navy officer Pug Henry, played by Robert Mitchum.

Mitchum also had the key role in the landmark 1962 suspense film, “Cape Fear,” as the sadistic ex-convict who terrorizes a lawyer (Gregory Peck) and his wife (Bergen) and daughter because he blames Peck for sending him to prison. The film was remade in 1991 by Martin Scorsese.

In 1964’s “Kisses for My President,” Bergen was cast as the first female U.S. pres-

ident, with Fred MacMurray as First Gentleman. (In the end, the president quits when she gets pregnant.)

When Geena Davis portrayed a first woman president in the 2005 TV drama “Commander in Chief,” Bergen was cast as her mother.

A fierce ambition prevailed throughout Bergen’s entertainment career and in her business life. She walked out of early contracts with Paramount and MGM because she thought her film roles were inadequate.

As the president of the Polly Bergen Co., founded in 1966, she arrived at her office at 9 a.m. and worked a full day. “It was very difficult at the beginning,” she said in 2001, “because everybody considered me just another bubble-headed actress.”

She sold the company in 1973 to Faberge, staying on for a couple of years afterward to run it as a Faberge subsidiary.

Bergen employed the same zeal in reviving her performing career after a series of personal setbacks of the 1990s. She played successful dates at cabarets in New York and Beverly Hills.

When she was refused an audition for the 2001 Broadway revival of “Follies,” she contacted composer Stephen Sondheim. He auditioned her and gave her the role of a faded star who sings of her ups and downs in show

business. The show-stopping song, “I’m Still Here,” was reminiscent of Bergen’s own saga. She was nominated for a Tony award for her role.

In 2002 she played a secondary role in the revival of “Cabaret” and the following year she was back on Broadway with the comedy “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks.”

Nellie Paulina Burgin was born in 1930 in Knoxville, Tennessee, into a family that at times relied on welfare to survive. They family eventually moved to California, and Polly, as she was called, began her career singing on radio in her teens.

“I was fanatically ambitious,” she recalled in 2001.

“All I ever wanted to be was a star. I didn’t want to be a singer. I didn’t want to be an actress. I wanted to be a star.”

But over the years, Bergen’s personal life was not as smooth as her career. Her four-year marriage to actor Jerome Courtland ended in an acrimonious divorce in 1955. Her second marriage to super-agent and producer Freddie Fields. The couple divorced in 1975 after 18 years.

She is survived by her children Peter Fields, Kathy Lander and Pamela Fields and three grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, her family is asking that donations be made to Planned Parenthood, said her publicist, Katz.

Las Vegas over weekend

Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande perform at the 2014 iHeartRadio festival.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Taylor Swift didn’t divulge any more new secrets about her forthcoming album when she took the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, but the crowd’s enthusiasm about her bouncy new single, “Shake it Off,” seems to bode well for the new record.

Swift, dressed in a bedazzled, bubble gum pink skirt and top, opened for the 4th annual festival Friday with hits including “Love Story” and “I Knew You Were Trouble.” A parade of chart-toppers followed her in the nearly five-hour program, including Coldplay, Usher, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande.

The two-day festival - an ode to Top 40 music that shares a name with a popular radio app and is backed by the pre-eminent name in broadcasting - continues Saturday with performances

by Lorde, Iggy Azalea, Ed Sheeran, One Direction and more. Friday brought a steady dose of hits ranging from Coldplay’s classic “Clocks” and “Viva la Vida” to Nicki Minaj’s “Superbass.”

Ariana Grande, the former Nickelodeon star whose music has dominated airwaves this summer, performed “Problem” and other hits in a cat-ear headband and thigh high stiletto boots.

There were a few surprises. will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas came to back up DJ Steve Aoki, who worked in his signature gag by hurling a sheet cake at four volunteers in party

dresses and button-downs.

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy crowd surfed from the comfort of a raft, and Jason DeRulo showed up to perform an unannounced set.

Performances got rowdier as the night went on. Motley Crue’s rendition of “Girls, Girls, Girls” was a frenzy of motorcycles, pyrotechnics and pole dancers. The Zac Brown Band, a country-folk group, covered Queen’s raucous “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

A more poignant moment came in a surprise appearance by Alicia Keys, who performed her new song, “We Are Here.” A rallying cry for peace, the song encourages listeners, “let’s talk about Gaza ... let’s talk about Israel, cause right now it is real.”

Usher closed off the night by bringing a crowdpleasing special guest on stage - Chris Brown, who performed his new single, “New Flame.” Their duet ended with a dance off before Usher slipped off his high tops and lit them on fire, letting them burn for a few moments before a stagehand put them out with a fire extinguisher. iHeartRadio takes its name from the music app developed by the broadcasting giant formerly known as Clear Channel Communications. The company, which owns more than 850 radio stations, announced this week that it was changing its name to iHeartMedia to reflect the success of the iHeartRadio brand.

Protecting our integrity on social media Nothing is more annoying than being inundated with advertisements when scrolling through Facebook and Twitter.

It’s easy to see the problem: Audiences are migrating their attention to their iPhones. It only makes sense that a business would want to capitalize off this increasing platform through social media advertisements.

Here, at The Daily Athenaeum, we’ve recently encountered similar issues.

The conflict lies in the fact that some forms of advertising would not mesh with our ethical standards.

To continue to bring you

the best newspaper we can each day, we have to pay for it somehow. And we can see why Twitter is a tempting option to increase our ad sales.

In fact, Twitter has become one of our favorite tools in the newsroom. Our Twitter account now has more than 11,000 followers, and for a student newspaper of our size, that’s incredible. We have a following that allows us to hear from you, the reader, in a way never before possible.

When you favorite a tweet, it tells us we did a good job. When you respond with concerns about an ar-

ticle, it tells us we could be doing things better. Each editor checks our account daily, and we look forward to hearing all of our readers’ feedback.

Twitter is an incredible tool that gives us invaluable insight into our audience.

We will not sacrifice open communication with our readers, which we worked so hard to establish, just to make a quick dollar.

There are enough advertisements on Twitter already. Many other college newspapers have adopted sponsored tweeting. This is where a story is “sponsored”

by a local business.

So what’s wrong with that?

It gives the appearance that our stories are controlled by sponsors.

We would never want to give our readers that impression.

The Daily Athenaeum cannot be bought. When we publish an article, it’s because we stand behind the facts it presents.

When we publish an opinionated column, it’s because we understand students want to hear a diverse range of ideas, and we respect the author’s point of view enough to print it.

We are a student-run publication with a student audience. Just like you, we want to know what’s happening in and around campus.

This is your newspaper.

We hope that as the semester continues, you continue to let us know how we’re doing.

Students at this University should know the editors of this newspaper put the needs of our audience above the desire to increase profits.

The DA has made this a priority in years past and will continue to do as we move forward this year.

Tell us what you think about this issue. Send a tweet to @dailyathenaeum.

Character tropes working against gender equality molly robinson columnist @dailyathenaeum

I was putting off my homework and scrolling through my Tumblr, a site that’s usually full of pictures of gooey pizza slices and videos of kittens tripping over themselves, when I ran across a surprising gem-of-a-post regarding least favorite character tropes.

A character trope is the idea of a distinct stereotype or subset of character types that comes up throughout books and movies and any other media that includes characters. Tropes include the meat head football player, the quirky girl next door, the evil scientist, etc.

These characters we see so often in entertainment, they hardly ring an alarm anymore.

But what I hadn’t thought about, and what this blog post brought up, was the idea of the “Chosen One.” While a chosen figure is in itself a character trope – think “Harry Potter”, “The Matrix” and “Ender’s Game” – it is the side kick female typically associated with the “Chosen One” that, for all intents and purposes, has the skillset and qualifications to be the “Chosen One” herself.

Hermione Granger, ‘The Chosen One’ from the ‘Harry Potter’ series, is constantly getting her friends out of trouble.

Generally this female fulfilling the “bad guy” But what I didn’t refigure is “tasked with tak- trope. alize is how corrupt it ing care of some generally I’d never really consid- was that these females ineffectual male charac- ered this as a detriment be- didn’t take the initiative ter” who is usually unfa- fore; sure, there were strong themselves. miliar with the task he’s up female characters who had There is no real explaagainst, and thus unqual- their stuff together when nation why Trinity wasn’t ified to actually have any it came to the plotline’s “The Chosen One” in the real significance until, af- task at hand, but mostly I Matrix since I’m pretty sure ter laborious training and swept that under the rug she simultaneously kicked teaching on the female’s and enjoyed seeing smart butt and rocked that leather part, he goes on to pull a and cool females telling suit.

implizit.blogspot.com

the “Harry Potter” books as being the brightest and most productive of Harry’s friends, wasn’t the “Chosen One.” Instead, she is primarily remembered for getting her friends out of a multitude of tight corners by being quick on her feet.

The entertainment industry is barely starting to move in the direction of portraying a leading pow-

erful female. Sure, there’s the big sellers, like “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent,” which offer a strong female lead with a more complex character background than even “The Chosen One,” because these females were wellversed in their respective dystopian worlds before they embarked on their adventures.

But still, these women are not “The Chosen Ones.” They are victims of their respective worlds; no divine character pointed the finger of fate at them to go on to their destinies.

It’s easy to see a silver lining here: There’s a whole character niche that is just waiting to be filled. On the other hand, in a society that has never stressed gender equality as much as it does now, it’s a concern that progress in something as important as entertainment is so slow.

Would it have been hard to “choose” a female to learn the rules of the game she’s been forced to play and then go on to be victorious? No. Yet, men are chosen for this role continuously over their female counterparts a decision that will hopefully one day be reversed. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Studying abroad can extend learning, cultural experiences marshall amores columnist @dailyathenaeum

The Parisian shop owner looked at me quizzically after I finished what I thought was a perfect French sentence. All I had asked her was if she spoke English. In that moment, I realized I had actually commanded her to literally give me English. I was lost in translation all over again.

How did I end up demanding English instead of a chicken and egg baguette from an elderly woman in Paris?

I studied abroad in Strasbourg, France for 18 days this summer, under Professor John Kilwein of West Virginia University and Professor Alexis Vahlas of the Universite de Strasbourg.

The highlights of my worldly travels, up until then, included watching my pale friend get sun poisoning in the Caribbean and visiting Montreal. I also saw Mexico from Texas for approximately five minutes.

Before I went to Europe, I used to sit at my MacBook perusing various Facebook posts from people doing incredible things all over the globe. One day, it was a panoramic shot

DA

of the glaciers in Patagonia, the next it was riding camels down sand dunes in Morocco. I would scroll down in awe at these people’s adventures, all the while thinking, “I need to do something with my life.”

I signed up for the Strasbourg study abroad program with high hopes. I envisioned my phone being blown up with notifications about my future pictures and status updates being liked and retweeted. There is no possible way that you can tell me that is not one of the most gratifying feelings ever.

For my study abroad program, I had either three or six hours - with breaks, of course - of lecture a few days a week. The lectures taught me about how the French, British and German legal systems compared to each other and the United States in order for me to better understand the totality of law on a grander scale. I also learned about the rise of the European Union and its major institutions from the ashes of World War II. The lectures were very interesting and I learned a great deal of valuable information. Yet, it was often difficult to pay attention to my professors

because I was staying in the stunning Chateau de Pourtales. The regal architecture of the chateau made me feel like I was vacationing in some old prince’s mansion. It was amazing.

The extensive property of the chateau was just as breathtaking. All it took was a simple look out the window, and I was dying to explore the grounds. There were miles of trails to bike, golden fields to lie in and even an old, abandoned bunker to explore.

About every other day, everybody would get on a bus and visit an important institution like the European Court of Human Rights or the Court of Justice of the European Union. Occasionally, we would have to travel outside of France.

On three of our site trips, we drove to Karlsruhe, Germany, Luxembourg and, most importantly, Brussels, Belgium.

I like to emphasize Brussels because, though it was great fun to see the European Commission, Council of the European Union, European Council and European Parliament, the highlight of that trip was when we visited the Delirium Village.

There was a magical bar that housed two thousand beers, an establishment

that boasted hundreds of tequilas.

The great thing about this study abroad program was that the weekends were left up to us to do as we pleased. It was on these weekends that I made some of the most fun memories of my life.

I traveled to Paris and saw the Mona Lisa, took a selfie with the Eiffel Tower and nearly got attacked by someone with a champagne bottle. I dodged bikers in the streets and perverts in the alleys of the Red Light District of the bizarre social experiment known as Amsterdam. I did so much, I cannot even put it into words.

However, the most lasting achievement of my experience was the friends I made. I may have never run into these people had I not taken the trip. Though many of the friends I made were solely “trip friends,” I am truly glad I got to spend my time in Europe with them.

This column is nowhere near enough space to tell you why you should travel abroad next summer. You will have to take my word for it when I say the memories you will make will be worth the money you spend. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

#CMFatWVU Campus MovieFest: Students win prizes, trip to Hollywood for short films

By Jillian Clemente Correspondent @dAIlyathenaeum

Five minutes or fewer: That’s all the time it took to get four student directors to Hollywood for a chance at $150,000.

Well, that’s how long the movies were. The actual time spent on producing the movies was only one week.

Campus MovieFest was back at WVU for its second year, thanks to WVUp All Night.

Each of the 71 student teams received a camera, Adobe cloud and a laptop the week of Sept. 10 to create original short films.

The top 16 movies out of the teams were shown at the finale in the Mountainlair Ballrooms Friday night.

The reception started at 6:30 p.m., and attendees could get their photos taken on an actual red carpet before the doors opened.

Between movies, door prizes went out to a few audience members. There were even a few prizes given out for tweets using the Twitter handle #CMFatWVU. The audience choice award, one given to the most attendees, went to

“Red Dawn” director Sarah Craft, a freshman biology student.

Out of the 16 movies shown, the four winners were: “The Other Maxes,”

by Mr. Film; “For Good,” by Tyler Channell; “Full Circle,” by Minority Report; and “Au Milieu,” by Lauren Schieflbein.

“Almost Heaven” received the Mountaineer Spirit Award, Mark Combs and Benjamin Forer won Best Actors and Victoria Licata won Best Actress for her role in “Au Milieu.”

“Full Circle” also received a Silver Tripod Award for best cinematography, and “The Other Maxes” received Best Storyline.

“We owe so much to Eat’n Park. It’s where we came up with the idea,” said Max Gould, a junior theater student and director of “The Other Maxes.”

Along with his crew of sophomore friends, Robby Justiss, a theater student, Matt Caridi, a finance student, and a multitude of pots of coffee at the local diner, “The Other Maxes” was born. All acting was improvised. “(The improvisation) made everything more natural. We took four shots of everything, but we used the

The group believes their solid relationship caused the hilarity in their improvisations.

Decorate for fall on college budget Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Fall officially started Sunday. This means football, Halloween, bonfires and holidays.

While you may be living in a residence hall or on a college budget, you can still decorate your living space for fall in simple, cute ways.

To add some color around your bedroom or the kitchen, mason jars are the start of many simple projects. For Halloween they make a perfect container for candy corn or other fall colored treats like Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s. Mason jars can also be used as a candle holder. Scents like pumpkin spice, apple cider and cranberry are perfect to get in the spirit.

Wreaths are also a nice way to add a touch of fall to the front door. You can easily make a wreath out of acorns, wicker, yarn or burlap and decorate it with items like leaves and berries. For Halloween, you can color it spooky black with spiders for

trick-or-treaters.

Pumpkins are a huge and easy decoration for fall. You can put them almost anywhere: your front steps, porch or on top of the fireplace. They are available at any grocery store.

Carving pumpkins is a messy job, but it is also easy to get creative with a carving. Aside from the silly or scary faces, pumpkins give a nice surface to carve your favorite football team logo, like the flying WV. To get fancier with your pumpkin, they can be covered with rhinestones.

Even without the bling, painting your pumpkins can be cute with either a fall pattern like white and orange plaid.

Mini-pumpkins work great, too, as they can fit on a banister and come in different shapes. Add a touch of glitter to the tops and you have a beautiful pumpkin staircase.

The use of fall foliage can be a pretty way to bring color indoors.

With a glass vase, putting a handful of bright orange and red leaves or dried flowers with acorns gives

you a cute display that will bring color into any room.

Try gathering a decent amount of fallen leaves and putting small displays together. A set of white Christmas lights weaving in and out of the jars will bring the colors of the leaves to life.

For spooky Halloween decorations, there are several ways to set up a display on your door. You can wrap black paper around your door and use spider web material to add some texture. Put plastic spiders on the webbing and add some creepy ghosts with printer paper and you might just win the dorm-door decorating contest.

Don’t be afraid to add orange, black, purple or green string lights on the railing of your front porch or around your door. The lighting adds an eerie effect to the decor.

Living on a college campus has certain restrictions. It might seem tough to be in the spirit of any season but there are many ways to make your place reflect the autumn season outside. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Justiss said.

The movie required about 12 hours of editing.

“That was three hours one day, nine the other,” Caridi said. “You compare that to other students’ works, and it’s not unbearable.”

One audience member, Monica Hanigan, a sophomore theater student, said this year’s MovieFest was better than the last one.

“I feel like because it’s the second year doing it at WVU, people really stepped it up,” Hanigan said. “It’s

great to see all the talent that came out of it.”

All four winning teams will go to Hollywood next June and also received 12-month subscriptions to Adobe cloud and T-shirts. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

U2 guitarist gets edge in mansion project MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — The guitarist for U2 finally has an edge in getting his long-planned compound of mansions built in the mountains above Malibu.

The California Coastal Commission staff reached a settlement agreement Friday with the David Evans, better known as The Edge, that would allow a downsized version of the project that was objected to by neighbors and environmentalists.

Evans has tried since 2006 to build five mansions on 150 acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

“From Day 1, I had told these guys that the one way to get to approval” was to make these changes, said Jack Ainsworth, the commission’s senior deputy director. “And here we are back at that same place many years later.”

The project still needs approval by the full commission, which is scheduled to vote next month.

“It’s not a slam dunk by any means,” Ainsworth the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1BVTfBt ).

Backers of the project sued the commission after staff rejected plans in February 2011.

Neighbors had complained the project would ruin their views, and environmentalists said it would harm habitat. The commission staff said the homes would mar an undeveloped ridgeline visi-

Big 12 challenges overpowering WVU West Virginia players and coaches have been talking all season and well before Week 1 about the challenges they would be facing this season, particularly the challenges within the Big 12.

Knowing that in nearly every game of this season head coach Dana Holgorsen’s squad would be tested, so far, I still haven’t seen a complete breakthrough from a year ago.

However, Holgorsen continues to reiterate what he’s been saying since Big 12 Media Days in July – these were the challenges WVU knew it was getting itself into. “Well we’re 2-2. I’m not happy about the two losses,� Holgorsen said following WVU’s lost to Oklahoma Saturday. “We can say the schedule is tough because we played two top four teams, but we signed up for the Big 12, we’re in the Big 12 and that’s where we need to get win if we want to be successful.

If this is what Holgorsen and the rest of WVU expected coming into this season, when does the time come that they begin to not only expect the challenges, but also play up to that level of expectations in order to have any success in this power five conference?

Though both offensively and defensively West Virginia has pleasantly surprised me in some areas, being consistent hasn’t been one of them.

Anyone can see that there have been some drastic improvements from the Mountaineers as a whole and in the way they carry themselves compared to a year ago.

Redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett impressed me again for the majority of Saturday’s game, as he connected on a 68-yard touchdown pass to Kevin White for Trickett’s career-long throw and has managed to lead WVU to having at least 20 offensive first downs in every game this season. Two costly turnovers from Trickett did not help the Mountaineers campaign Saturday down the stretch.

Even with most of West Virginia’s players playing fairly well against their second top-five team in the nation in the span of the last four weeks, WVU couldn’t seal the deal against Oklahoma or Alabama.

As West Virginia goes into its bye week standing 2-2, the potential of momentum to be gained before taking the field at home against Kansas in just under two weeks could be huge. Though the Mountaineers are 2-4 after a bye week under Holgorsen, they will be going up against a Jayhawk squad that hasn’t won a road game since 2009 and hasn’t beaten a Big 12 team on the road since 2008.

Bouncing back in 12 days at Milan Puskar Stadium and earning a victory to once again get WVU over the .500 mark will be key as the next opponent in Texas Tech has been giving West Virginia problems since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12. anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

SURGING SOONERS

Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight runs with the ball during Saturday’s victory for the Sooners, 45-33.

Second half surge carries No. 4 Oklahoma past West Virginia Saturday night by connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

Samaje Perine rushed for 242 yards and four touchdowns as the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners overcame a slow offensive start to beat West Virginia 45-33 in Morgantown.

Much like their matchup from Week 2 in the 2013 season, West Virginia and Oklahoma played a backand-forth style of football in the first half, and just like that matchup from a year ago, the Sooners took advantage of their opportunities in the second half while the Mountaineers wilted. “They played with more effort than we did in the second half. They made good adjustments at half time. They’re a good team,

so they came out and made a bunch of plays in the second half when the game was on the line. You’ve got to give them credit,� said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Oklahoma’s starting running back Keith Ford wasn’t able to suit up for the game due to an injury, but the Sooners’ ground game didn’t miss a beat, racking up 309 total yards on the ground against West Virginia.

Head coach Bob Stoops was able to turn to a true freshman in Perine, who became the first Sooner running back to crack the 200 yard mark since DeMarco Murray accomplished the feat against Utah State in 2010.

Holgorsen said Perine’s ability to come into the

game and make such a major contribution without having much experience is a testament to the depth of Oklahoma’s program. “They’re a top-5 team.

They’ve won national championships and Big 12 championships. They’ve got great facilities. They’ve got great coaches and they recruit well,� he said. “They’re at a point in their program where if they get two or three guys that go down at a position, they’ve got guys that can go in and play at a very high level, and that’s what needs to happen if you want to win.

I think we’re getting better when it comes to that, but obviously not quite there.�

Just as depth is a sign of a healthy program, so is the ability to respond to adversity. There were several mo-

mentum swings throughout the course of this game, but the biggest one came right before halftime.

West Virginia had just marched down the field and taken a 24-17 lead after a five yard touchdown run by running back Rushel Shell.

Sooner running back and return man Alex Ross took the ensuing kickoff to the house, silencing a then-raucous West Virginia crowd and giving Oklahoma all the momentum heading into the locker room. “Every time we got a big play they just went right down and scored. It’s a game of momentum. We had an opportunity in the first half,� Holgorsen said. “I thought we played well enough in the second quar-

ter offensively to seize the momentum, but every time he had some success they came right back. That’s the sign of a good team.�

The loss drops West Virginia’s record to 2-2 heading into the bye week. With the wear and tear this team has sustained over the first four games of the season, Holgorsen said the week off comes at a good time. “I think we could all probably use one right now.

It’s been four tough weeks to start the season. We’ve played some tight games, close games, and guys are starting to wear down,� he said. “You could see it on the sidelines tonight. Guys are starting to go down. It’s a good time to regroup.� connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Oklahoma proves to be too much for WVU by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Following Saturday night’s 45-33 loss to No. 4 Oklahoma, West Virginia’s coaching staff had to give credit where credit was due. “Congratulations to Oklahoma. They’re a good football team,� said head coach Dana Holgorsen after the game. “They made a bunch of plays in the second half when the game was on the line. “You’ve got to give them credit.� “In the second half, I just felt like we got outcoached, got outplayed and just didn’t do a good job,� said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “They’re the No. 4 team in the country for a reason.�

The two teams entered halftime with the score knotted at 24-24.

In the second half, however, the talent of Oklahoma’s roster became more apparent as the Sooners gradually wore down the Mountaineers with a physical run game and a dominating pass rush. “We got outcoached (and) we got outplayed on all three sides of the ball in the second half,� Holgorsen said.

Oklahoma true freshman running back Samaje Perine carried the ball 34 times for 244 rushing yards and four touchdowns. West Virginia’s defense missed numerous tackles on Perine, as his 5-foot-11, 243 pound frame proved to be troublesome to bring down.

Oklahoma’s massive offensive line was able to con-

sistently open running lanes and didn’t allow the Mountaineers’ pass rush to get to quarterback Trevor Knight. “We didn’t play offensively as good as they did offensively,� Holgorsen said.

The Sooners’ pass rush proved to be too much for West Virginia’s offensive line to handle. Linebacker Eric Striker sacked quarterback Clint Trickett from behind on the second play of the game, and Oklahoma was able to consistently keep pressure on Trickett all night.

Junior right tackle Marquis Lucas said Oklahoma’s defense was comparable to

what the Mountaineers faced against Alabama in Week 1. “They were real good up front. Guys were pretty fast off the edge,� Lucas said.

Oklahoma’s pass rush proved to be enough of a problem that Holgorsen was forced to bring in extra blockers, creating less options for Trickett downfield. “It was a struggle,� Holgorsen said. “You didn’t see many no-back sets, one-back sets or two-back sets where we were releasing people.

They’re too fast off the edge. “We knew if we put Clint (Trickett) in that situation, he was going to get beat up a lot.�

Trickett was able to occasionally escape pressure, but threw two costly interceptions that swung momentum back in the Sooners’ favor.

On both interception passes, Trickett was flushed out of the pocket by Oklahoma’s pass rush and was forced to make a throw on the run.

Heading into a muchneeded bye week, facing two top-5 teams in the first four weeks of the season, will only benefit West Virginia as it moves forward and prepares to take on its remaining Big 12 Conference schedule. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia drops its matches over weekend

doyle maurer/the daily athenaeum

WVU defensive specialist Gianna Gotterba hits the ball during a match against St. Francis earlier this season.

by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenauem

This past weekend ended the 10-match win streak for the West Virginia University volleyball team. The Mountaineers dropped their matches to Duke and University of North Carolina, 3-1 and 3-0, respectively.

Friday night, WVU faced Duke and finished with set scores of 25-17, 23-25, 13-25 and 15-25. Both teams had issues on offense, finishing with 25 attacking errors for the Mountaineers and 23 for the Blue Devils. Outside

hitter Jordan Anderson led the team with 18 kills, hitting .204 for the match. Evyn McCoy finished with eight kills, while Caleah Wells and Morgan Montgomery added six and Nikki Attea had five.

In an interview with WVUSports.com, coach Jill Kramer said the pace of her offense was what hurt the game.

“We just started not setting up very well,” Kramer said.

“We had a hard time in transition mainly. When we got out of a passing rhythm it made it easy for their block to go set up. Instead

of just getting our feet there and putting the ball on the court, we started swinging away.”

McCoy was on her blocking game, finishing with eight block assists, as the team recorded 11. Attea put up four, while Anderson had three and Hannah Sackett had two. Lamprini Konstantinidou added to her assists on the season with 35 and two serving aces.

Anna Panagiotakopoulos led the team with 13 digs and Konstantinidou had nine, along with Gianna Gotterba, while McCoy and Anderson both dug seven

balls.

Saturday evening, the Mountaineers traveled to Chapel Hill, N.C., to take on the No. 13 Tar Heels. Losing the match, WVU finished with set scores of 25-20, 2519 and 25-21.

With one of its lowest hitting clips of the season, WVU hit .130 for the match, Anderson leading again with 12 kills. She also finished with two block assists and a serving ace.

Sackett and Attea added to the scoring with six kills, and Wells had five while hitting for a team-best .273 clip. Defensively, Sackett

and McCoy each had four block assists while Wells added three. Attea and Anderson put up two as they tallied up eight team blocks.

“These teams don’t let you make errors,” Kramer said. “Texas is not going to let you make errors, so these are the types of teams we need to be playing heading into conference play.”

Gotterba led the team with 10 digs, followed by Attea with five. Melvina Brown and Panagiotakopoulos each had two. Konstantinidou finished with 26 assists, putting her at 471 for the season thus far.

Even with the loss, Kramer said the challenge was a good experience for the Mountaineers coming into conference play this week.

“It was good for us to see them,” she said. “North Carolina is a great blocking team and a great serving team. They did a good job of that tonight and we’re going to see that again on Wednesday.”

The 10-3 Mountaineers will face the No. 2 Texas Longhorns at 7 p.m.

Wednesday at the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Men’s soccer

WVU breaks three-game losing streak, defeats High Point by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The Mountaineers losing streak is over and confidence is filing back into the team.

On Saturday, the West Virginia men’s soccer team traveled to High Point and defeated the Panthers 2-1, breaking a 3-game losing skid.

West Virginia broke a 0-0 tie at the half off the feet of Jamie Merriam and Tolu Ibikunle, who both scored in the second half of the game.

High Point was the aggressor in the early part of the match, striking down the field early. A Panther corner was cleared away, but that was not their only opportunity.

in the box, Ebe Kudolo set up the free kick and missed off the crossbar.

West Virginia dodged the early bullet and went on the attack. Despite its chances, West Virginia was unable to capitalize on its shots, and the score remained the same.

The Mountaineers and Panthers exchanged possession before West Virginia went back on a shot barrage.

Andy Bevin got off two shots and Zak Leedom shot once, but to no avail.

West Virginia was able to take the advantage in shots after falling behind early in the match.

Mamadee Nyepon was able to get two more shots off before the end of the half for the Panthers, but the first went high and Brent Arnold saved the second chance. The Moun-

taineers and Panthers entered halftime knotted at zero.

For the third time in their last four games, the Mountaineers entered the half with a 0-0 score. However, the Mountaineers would yield a different result from this scoreless tie.

The Mountaineers and Panthers exchanged shots at the beginning of the second half. Kudolo missed just high for the Panthers, but the Mountaineers were ready to strike after the missed goal.

Andy Bevin got the ball into the box off of a free kick, which was then centered by Jack Elliot on a header. Jamie Merriam received the center pass and put it in the back of the net to give the Mountaineers a

1-0 advantage at the 57:26 mark.

After the goal, Jack Elliot was substituted out for Tolu Ibikunle.

Less than a minute after Merriam’s goal, Ibikunle scored on a breakaway from 10 yards out for the first goal of his career.

The goal gave West Virginia a 2-0 advantage with just more than 30 minutes to play in the match.

The excitement was not over during this time. West Virginia committed a foul, which led to High Point getting a penalty kick. Mamadee Nyepon converted on the penalty kick, making him High Point’s alltime goal leader with 34.

The kick also brought the Panthers to within one goal of the Mountaineers with

just under 30 minutes to play.

High Point came on the attack again following their goal, but both attempts did not find the net.

More chances eluded both the Panthers and Mountaineers as time was running out in the second half. Nyepon had a late shot within a minute to play but could not convert and the Mountaineers claimed their fourth victory of the season.

After their first win since Sept. 4, the Mountaineers will travel to James Madison to conclude their first road trip of the season.

West Virginia will take on James Madison at 7 p.m. tomorrow on the road. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 13 West Virginia beats LaSalle, Villanova at home

SHANNON MCKENNA/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Members of the WVU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team celebrate after scoring a goal against Villanova Sunday.

By Ryan Petrovich Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

With conference play on the horizon, the West Virginia womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team is riding a wave of momentum as it looks to defend its Big 12 crown.

The Mountaineers picked up another pair of wins this weekend. The first came against La Salle Friday.

WVU cruised to a victory, downing La Salle 4-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to have the finishing touches here and

now and if not, we still have at least a week to fix it,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Nikki IzzoBrown in regard to the upcoming Big 12 game against TCU. Kailey Utley got things started for the Mountaineers as she netted a goal with 12:14 on the clock.

Amadine Pierre-Louis scored the Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second goal while Leah Emaus scored twice to give the Mountaineers the win Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the physical piece and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the men-

tal piece. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk mental, for us to finish the chances we did tonight was huge for us. I think moving forward, this (win) has built that (mental) piece,â&#x20AC;? IzzoBrown said.

Izzo-Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team carried over its success from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. The Mountaineers were able to pick up a 4-0 win over Villanova.

True freshman Michaela Abam continues to impress as she scored the Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fist goal of the match.

Just before the half concluded, Jess Crowder sent a shot from 25 yards out and hit the mark. WVU led 2-0 at halftime.

Wasting little time, Maggie Bedillion scored a goal to start the second half of play while Utley displayed exceptional footwork inside the box, her shot was blocked, but the redirection landed right at Abamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet.

Abam then scored her second goal of the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come along easier,â&#x20AC;?

Abam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to say scoring is easy or any-

thing, but the fact that I was able to get one earlier on and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going into Big 12, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be way better.â&#x20AC;?

It was all West Virginia throughout the game, as Villanova had no answers.

Last season both La Salle and Villanova beat the Mountaineers, but this time around, WVU returned the favor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I credit the team for really focusing on the final third stuff,â&#x20AC;? Izzo-Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the character of these ladies out here.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from one draw against Georgetown, West Virginia has strung together six straight wins. The win over Villanova concludes a long home stand for the Mountaineers and now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take to the road as they face TCU Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My motto is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Everyday getting better,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Izzo-Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now you look ahead.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like we had a losing streak, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always going to challenge this team to get better.â&#x20AC;? dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field goal lifts Baltimore past Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On the field, there are few questions about the Baltimore Ravens.

With Ray Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distressing situation still hanging over them, the Ravens pulled off a comeback win

as Justin Tucker kicked a 32-yard field as time expired to give Baltimore a 23-21 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boot capped another challenging week for the Ravens (2-1), who

continue to be dogged by their handling of Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic violence suspension.

Joe Flacco set up Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game-winner with a 32-yard pass to Steve Smith with 1:28 left. The Ravens

then ran the clock down before bringing in Tucker, who split the uprights and sent the Browns (1-2) to another tough loss. Both of Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses have come on last-play field goals.

Flacco finished 19 of 31 for 217 yards with one touchdown.

Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Hoyer completed 19 of 25 passes for 290 yards. The Browns failed to capitalize on several chances to put the Ravens away in the second half. Cleveland missed a field goal and had one blocked.

Along with the blown opportunities, the Browns had a fake play in which b a c ku p quarterback Johnny Manziel fooled Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense negated by a penalty.

Ravens rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro rushed for 91 yards. He filled in for Bernard Pierce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who sat out with a thigh injury. Smith had five catches for 101 yards.

As issues about their handling of Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suspension loom, the Ravens have been all business on the field.

They dismissed issues about Rice to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Sept. 11 and came back in the final minutes to beat the Browns, ending a fourgame road losing streak in the AFC North.

Not everything went Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. Valuable tight end Dennis Pitta was taken to a hospital after he appeared to sustain a serious hip injury in the first half. Pitta, who played in just four games last season with an injured right hip, went down without being hit after catching a short pass.

Rookie running backs Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell had rushing TDs for the Browns, who took a 21-17 lead into the fourth quarter and had the Ravens on their heels.

Tucker kicked a 21-yard field goal with five minutes to go to pull the Ravens within 21-20.

Baltimore had the ball inside Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5, but Flacco missed Torrey

Smith in the back of the end zone on second down and then misfired on third, forcing coach John Harbaugh to kick the field goal.

Earlier, Harbaugh gambled on fourth down at Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 and Browns linebacker Jabaal Sheard wrapped up rookie Taliaferro on an inside handoff.

Hoyer completed a 70yard pass to a wide-open Taylor Gabriel, who fell while making the catch. He got up but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outrun the Ravens. Cleveland had to settle for a field-goal attempt, but Ravens cornerback Asa Jackson got his hand on Billy Cundiff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36-yarder, keeping the Ravens within four.

On the previous series, the Browns failed to capitalize on an interception of Flacco when Cundiff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50yard field goal hit the left upright.

Taliaferroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first career TD gave the Ravens a 1714 lead in the third.

The fourth-round draft pick from Coastal Carolina plowed through the right side for the score as the Ravens responded to Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80-yard drive to open the second half with one of their own.

Crowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14-yard TD run gave the Browns a 1410 lead in the third. Running left, Crowell got a nice block from fullback Ray Agnew and went in untouched as Cleveland opened the second half with another sustained drive.

The Ravens turned to their running game to take a 10-7 lead midway through in the second quarter.

Taliaferro, who began the season as Baltimroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-string running back, opened the drive with a 31-yard run up the middle. Taliaferro added 31 more yards on six carries as the Ravens drove to the 9. On first down, Flacco then found Kyle Juszczyk for the score.
