BOG names interim dean of completion

BY COREY MCDONALD STAFF WRITER DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University Board of Governors unanimously passed its consent agenda and revealed the new position of interim dean of completion during its meeting Sept. 25.

Joyce McConnell, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, presented an update to the Board that announced Joe Seiaman serve as the in-

terim dean of completion.

“If you were to look at the data of his success, you would be blown away,” McConnell said during her presentation. “And if he can take that same level of success to all of our undergraduates, we will have done something that is absolutely transformative.”

Seiaman has been the senior academic advisor in the College of Business and Economics for years, and was in charge of new student recruiting for the college during his tenure.

WVU Diversity Week officially begins

BY CAITY COYNE

ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR CAITYCOYNE

Diversity Week for West Virginia University kicked off Sunday evening, starting a week of events meant to highlight and emphasize different groups on campus through various conversations and presentations.

Throughout the week, there will be critical conversations on topics like domestic violence and racial injustice, as well as more celebratory events like a “Coffee House” poetry night and the International Festival.

“We don’t have one week where we celebrate diversity,” said David Fryson, vice president for the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in an earlier interview with the Daily Athenaeum. “We have one week where we make it a special point of emphasis. We do diversity 52 weeks, 24/7, but this is the week where we emphasize being a launch pad for all of the other things we do...”

The theme for this year’s Diversity Week is “A place for you at WVU,” and, along with having events centered on social issues, there are also programs based around different cultural groups at the University.

By no means is Diversity Week meant to limit appreciation of these groups to just one week a year. Instead, the week is meant to emphasize such groups and educate other students about their role on campus.

“There’s kind of this movement like, ‘Why would you have a special month for Black History Month?’ But the challenge is if you look at just today, you have to take into consideration the history that made it what it is,” Fryson said. “We honor all by, at times, looking at the groups within the group.”

Not only will there be panels and discussions to introduce the different cultural entities around campus, but there will also be discussions centered on how to become a diversified thinker.

Students from all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities or sexual orientations, are encouraged to attend all the events.

“With any movement, of course, you can’t separate the oppression we faced in the past...” Fryson said. “If you look at it from the standpoint of how we’ve moved past (oppression) as a society, you have people who are the oppressed group in any particular way. But also (nothing) would have ever moved forward without having allies.”

The newly created dean of completion position is a push from Academic Affairs to restructure the advising system and place a stronger emphasis on students’ successful completion of their degree.

McConnell also updated the Board on the progress of the new Energy Institute, the Rockefeller School of Policy and Politics and the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center.

The Board then went into a two-hour executive

session, which included matters not considered public records. The Board discussed legal, personnel and deliberative matters as well as matters related to construction planning, commercial competition matters and the purchase, sale or lease of property, according to the agenda.

The public portion was resumed with a report from University President E. Gordon Gee. Gee gave a recap of his summer trip to various counties in West Virginia,

during which he was accompanied by students and faculty who offered insight into their experience to the Board.

“We have a lot of talent in this state, and the University has the ability to keep that talent in-state,” said Justice Johnson, a student of WVU. “We need to focus on the whole entire state and not just the students.”

Student Body President George Capel accompanied Gee on the trip and gave his opinion on the

importance of this trip for the push for a culture change.

“We’re trying to show students the state, and we’re trying to instill a sense of home,” Capel said.

“It’s really important that it does feel like a home and not just a temporary place that they stay and come to study for a portion of the year, but rather that it’s their home year-round.”

Cynthia Wilson play to show at Metropolitan this weekend

BY PAIGE CZYZEWSKI STAFF WRITER DAILYATHENAEUM

Cynthia Wilson’s niece, Na’lisha, was only 19 years old when her boyfriend murdered her at a Charleston Taco Bell in 2008.

Na’lisha scaled the counter, desperate to find a place to hide from her abuser of three years.

But a door alone couldn’t keep her safe.

“He went to the closet, stood over her and shot her—point blank range— six times,” Wilson, a domestic violence victim herself, said. “He shot her six times like an animal, and she saw it coming the whole time.”

In the United States, more than 1 in 3 women and more than 1 in 4 men

have experienced rape, physical violence or stalking from an intimate partner, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On Oct. 2 and Oct. 3, Wilson’s play about domestic violence, “Battered But Not Broken,” will show at The Metropolitan Theatre to raise awareness about domestic violence victims and the cycle in which they find themselves.

Wilson has been “defying the odds” all her life— she was born blind, shot at four years old due to domestic violence and lived paralyzed from the waist down until she was 15.

After six surgeries to remove the cataracts from her eyes and 34 years with a bullet stuck underneath her pelvic bone, Wilson

continued to survive with her abusive husband and their two children. She was raped, beaten and physically and mentally abused for nearly 25 years.

Wilson not only experienced domestic violence firsthand, but she also watched her mother, friends and various other family members go through it.

“I didn’t have the strength or the courage to get help for myself,” she said. “But when I saw Na’lisha get murdered, when I saw the holes that riddled her body, and when I saw my friend’s daughter was set on fire— alive—I knew that I had to do something.”

But stories like these don’t shock Wilson anymore. Hearing those sto-

ries are just “a way of life now,” she said, and the situations those stories arise from are not uncommon at all.

Each minute, 20 people find themselves the victim of intimate partner physical violence in the U.S. An estimated $5.8 billion is spent each year on direct and mental health services and lost productivity involving domestic violence as well, according to the CDC. “It’s not just an individual victim issue. It’s an issue that affects more than a lot of people in society,” said Marjorie McDiarmid, a West Virginia University law professor and the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center board

Bike shop puts a ‘Positive Spin’ on cycling, opens contest to public

BY JORDAN MILLER CORRESPONDENT DAILYATHENAEUM

When the Board of Directors from Positive Spin discovered a man was skateboarding to work from West Run to the Walmart by the University Town Centre, they handed him a bike.

In return, Walmart started donating many of its returned bikes to Positive Spin.

“It’s a helpful environment,” said Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chair of Positive Spin’s Board of Directors.

“It’s how we work as an organization. You help somebody, and it kind of comes back to you.”

Located on East Brockway Avenue behind Marilla Park, Positive Spin is a completely volunteer-run and self-sustaining bicycle collective open Friday, Saturday and

Sunday afternoons.

Positive Spin goers can donate old bikes or refurbish new bikes. Volunteers at Positive Spin are as diverse as the bikes found in the shop, ranging from engineering students, to residents of the Bartlett House, to West Virginia University staff.

“Bikes bring freedom,” Rosenbaum said.

As an organization, Rosenbaum said Positive Spin wants to promote a generous and friendly atmosphere.

While Positive Spin will not fix bikes for people, they provide the tools and the help needed for self-refurbishment. In return, they hope to gain volunteers to repair bikes for other people, Rosenbaum said.

All bikes at Positive Spin are donated, and end up in

one of four places: recycled for parts, fixed up and sold to cover the overhead costs of the shop, donated to local children in need or sent overseas through the “Bikes For The World” program, according to Will Ravenscroft, Vice Chair on the Positive Spin’s Board of Directors.

The collective was formed in 2005, when one of the group’s founders noticed bicycles were high on the list of emergency donation needs for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Positive Spin was created soon after to help aid relief efforts.

Today, Positive Spin is still honors the foundation of goodwill they were built on, forming a partnership with Chestnut Mountain Ranch, a local home for at-risk youth.

On days they work together, volunteers at the col-

lective teach the youth how to repair bikes in a hands-on environment. After the kids put in 10 hours, they earn the bike they’ve worked on.

With a laugh, Will Ravenscroft said he and his employees are “preparing for the post-automotive age.”

Ravenscroft believes Morgantown would benefit greatly if less people drove and more rode bikes. He said choosing bicycles over cars would reduce traffic, promote health and wellness and reduce the city’s carbon footprint.

Along with their monthly bike rides which are open to the public, Positive Spin will also host a logo design contest this month.

The deadline is in the beginning of November, and the designer of the chosen

Leaders pledge money, clout to achieve women’s equality UNITED NATIONS (AP)— World leaders pledged money and political clout to achieve equality for women by 2030 at a U.N. meeting Sunday cochaired by China’s President Xi Jinping, who has faced strong criticism for cracking down on women’s rights activists.

Among the Chinese leader’s strongest critics was Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton who tweeted: “Xi hosting a meeting on women’s rights at the UN while persecuting feminists?

Shameless.”

Leaders from about 80 countries and dozens of diplomats attended the meeting to mark the 20th anniversary of the U.N. women’s conference in Beijing and press for implementation of its 150page action plan for gender equality - which remains one of the 17 new development goals adopted by world leaders on Friday.

As U.S. first lady, Clinton galvanized the 1995 Beijing conference with a rousing speech that included words that have become a mantra for the global women’s movement: “human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.”

Xi partly echoed her words, telling Sunday’s meeting that “women’s rights and interests are basic human rights. They must be protected by laws and regulations.”

But he did not mention any of the women activists targeted by the Chinese government, women such as 71-year-old journalist Gao Yu, arrested in 2014

and sentenced to seven years in prison on charges of “leaking state secrets overseas,” or human rights lawyer Wang Yu, a campaigner against sexual harassment of school girls and defender of women’s rights activists who was arrested in July and is being held at a secret location on suspicion of “inciting subversion of state power.”

Nor did he mention the five women who spent 37 days in detention this year because they planned to advocate against sexual harassment on public transportation. In a letter Thursday to Secretary-General Ban Kimoon and UN Women, the “China Feminist Five” expressed hope that Xi would announce concrete plans and measurements to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment, and that their wrongful cases would be dropped soon. He did not.

Xi did draw loud applause when he announced a $10 million donation to UN Women, the agency promoting women’s rights, to accelerate implementation of the Beijing platform - and again when he announced that in the next five years China will help developing countries produce 100 “health projects” for women and children, finance 100 programs to send poor girls to school, train 30,000 women from developing countries in China, and provide training opportunities for 100,000 women in other developing countries.

Obama makes forceful defense of new development goals UNITED NATIONS (AP)— President Barack Obama on Sunday committed the U.S. to a new blueprint to eliminate poverty and hunger around the world, telling a global summit that a sweeping new development agenda is “not charity but instead is one of the smartest investments we can make in our own future.”

It was the first of two addresses Obama is making at the United Nations. His second on Monday morning, to the annual U.N. General Assembly of world leaders, will be a broader examination of world issues, especially the evermore complicated conflict in Syria and the related refugee crisis.

As Secretary of State John Kerry put it after a meeting on the sidelines Sunday, “It would be a complete understatement to say that we meet at a challenging time.”

Obama offered a powerful defense of a 15-year development agenda that will require trillions of dollars of effort from countries, companies and civil society.

He told delegates that 800 million men, women and children scrape by on less than $1.25 a day and that billions of people are at risk of dying from preventable diseases. He called it a “moral outrage” that many children are just one mosquito bite away from death.

editorial

Humanizing immigrants, families With the 2016 election right around the corner, politicians have addressed many issues important to the American people at various rallies and debates. Immigration is one of the most popular topics of this year, namely due to the outrageous proposals from presidential candidates to solve the immigration problem between Mexico and the United States.

For example, Donald Trump’s seemingly impossible plan to build a wall along the entirety of the border between Mexico and America has been widely criticized by both Republicans and Democrats, mostly because of his plans to force the Mexican government to pay for its construction. It would also likely disrupt good trade relations between Mexico, as the country is one of America’s top importers.

Other Republican candidates have indicated the need for stronger deportation measures and in-

creased border enforcement, which already takes up billions of U.S. dollars each year. Many candidates and citizens alike are concerned with the illegal drug trade between Mexico and America, which television shows like Border Wars on National Geographic have attempted to draw public attention toward.

However, candidates in favor of drastic measures concerning immigration have continually lost Hispanic voters’ approval, which have even cost them the election in some cases.

Immigration isn’t just an American problem. Millions of Syrians were forced to flee their homes earlier this year due to their country’s civil war and had no choice but to escape to other countries. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan each house nearly half a million immigrants, and each country’s immigrant population face problems finding work, housing and food assistance. In these dire

circumstances, offering aid and finding solutions seems like the right course of action. However, many Americans don’t give Mexico’s population the same sympathy, though thousands of unaccompanied minors cross the border each year to escape poverty and drug cartels.

The Pope’s arrival to the United States and his impassioned speech to immigrant families attempted to encourage and humanize a group of people this country is quick to resent. While quotes from presidential candidates have attempted to label immigrants as “rapists” and “killers,” the Pope emphasized the brotherhood between all people in his speech to Congress on Sept. 24, regardless of their nationality or background.

“We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation... We need to avoid a

America was founded by immigrants from countries all over the world, and to forget that is to for-

we recall our roots. Alternate solutions will be necessary in ensuring better and more prosperous futures for immigrants. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

The right to die: Benefits of physician-assisted suicide kayla asbury columnist @kaylaasbury_

According to Brittany Maynard, dying with dignity is a right everyone should be afforded.

Maynard, who was only 29 when she took her own life with help from a doctor, was an advocate for the Right-to-Die Bill in California. After Brittany was diagnosed with brain cancer and was told she had only months to live, she moved from her home in California to Oregon and took her own life peacefully with barbiturates.

There are only three states where physicianassisted suicide is completely legal: Vermont, Oregon and Washington. However, California lawmakers are considering changing their state’s laws on physician-assisted suicide after Maynard received media attention for taking advantage of Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. The new bill, called the End of Life Option Act, will grant residents of California the same right to die Maynard was afforded after her diagnosis.

Physician-assisted suicide has been a touchy subject for years. The controversy was triggered by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who as-

eidard.com

Many elderly people are proponents of physician assisted suicide. sisted more than 130 people with terminal diseases in taking their own lives in the 1990s. This controversy continues today, as more terminally sick people are looking for options beyond simply wasting away from illness at the end of their lives.

Fear that anyone will be able to go to the doctor and commit suicide with ease

causes the controversy surrounding physician-assisted death today.

The current eligibility guidelines to be able to request a prescription for lethal medication in Oregon are that the patient must be 18 years old, an Oregon resident, able to make sound medical decisions and diagnosed with a terminal disease with six or

fewer months to live.

These guidelines make it impossible for just anyone to get a prescription for a substance able to cause their own death, but they do offer a way out to people who would otherwise be left suffering for months or even years.

Terminally ill people should have the right to end their lives on their own

terms. If someone knows they are going to be in pain for the rest of their life, I believe they should be allowed to end it while they are still physically able.

People who receive a prescription for lethal medication can decide when and where they take it. If they later decide they would rather die naturally after obtaining the

medication, they never have to take it. It’s simply a soothing reassurance for the patient and a way out of needless pain and suffering.

The most important reason physician-assisted suicide should be legal is that it gives terminally ill patients the power of choice.

The ability to be in control of your own mind and body is an essential human right terminally ill people are often not granted. For example, Alzheimer’s patients whose minds would be deteriorating would be able to end their lives while they still have memory of their families and friends.

Physician-assisted suicide also lessens suffering for the family and friends of terminally ill patients.

Death is never easy to witness, but watching loved ones suffer months before their death can sometimes postpone the healing process. Assisted suicide gives those close to dying the ability to remember their loved ones as happy and in control rather than being weak or in pain.

No one wants to die, but everyone deserves the right to die within his or her own means. As Maynard said, “Being able to choose to go with dignity is less terrifying.” daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Whether it’s Netflix, Hulu or a regular television set, most people watch a variety of TV shows every week, which gives them the power to educate themselves.

Some shows are better than others for ascertaining new vocabulary able to

stick with you and be useful in the future. I have compiled a short list of the best TV shows to watch to improve your vocabulary.

We’ll start with the obvious: Jeopardy. Whether it’s through the category, the clue, the contestant’s response or Alex Trebek’s colorful commentary, new terminology will come up nightly on this show.

It is also a good setting to practice words and trivia you already know by responding along with the contestants. The more you watch, the more you will learn and be able to answer correctly.

West Wing is a fantastic show for learning all sorts of new words and phrases, especially those having to do with politics and government. Did you ever wonder what a pundit or a lame duck were? Now you can learn as you follow engaging plots involving topranking executive officials of the United States.

And you’re in luck: All seven seasons of West Wing can be found on Netflix.

Gilmore Girls is also a classic. This show offers some pretty insightful

comments and allusions to viewers who are paying attention. Main character Rory is an intelligent high school student who reads incessantly, and from the way she speaks, it seems to pay off.

The characters on this show are known for their fast-talking, which can cause high-level vocabulary to fly right by some viewers. However, if you are mindful of the insights this show has to offer, you will be pleasantly surprised at what Rory, Lorelai, and the other inhabitants of Stars Hollow can teach you.

Where to find it, you ask?

Netflix again.

For those involved in the sciences, The Big Bang Theory will expose you to all sorts of scientific terminology, as well as plenty of less science-specific vocabulary, that gets thrown around by the geniuses that make up this show’s character cast.

If you love science, this is a great opportunity to test your knowledge of it, especially when it comes to specified fields like astrophysics and neurobiology.

If you don’t love science,

then here is your chance to expose yourself to the terminology without having to go through the pain of taking classes on the subjects.

This show is ongoing on CBS and can also be found on Hulu.

Vocabulary is a vital part of being educated because it allows us to communicate with others using specific and concise phrasing. While some high-level words found in academic articles might sound pretentious and unnecessary, others are in fact extremely necessary to get an author’s point across.

Whether you are preparing for an exam, a college course or just want to be an educated human being, learning vocabulary is a necessary endeavour.

It doesn’t, however, have to be difficult. This is one of the things television is great for. You just have to know which shows to watch.

WVUp All Night kicked off round two of the Mountaineer Idol competition as contestants performed songs from the 80s.

The night began as audience members took their seats and the lights dimmed as a video played featuring hosts West Virginia University students Hilary Kinney and Lane Horter. The two discussed everything that goes into preparing for the day of the event. The video showcased a humorous side to the hosts and managed to give the audience a few laughs throughout.

Kinney and Horter then walked onstage to greet the audience and announce the top 12 contestants competing in round two of the competition. After contestants Isaac Mei and Amanda Hutchison suddenly dropped out of the competition, Friday evening’s top 12 finalists were a bit different than anticipated.

On the day of the event, Mountaineer Idol organizers Sonja Wilson and Molly Callaghan called back runner-up contestants Tyler Shaffer and Brianna Paul, who were previously eliminated in round one, to the stage.

Tyler Shaffer, one of the contestants returning to compete, had many obstacles to face as he prepared for the day of the event.

Shaffer didn’t know he would have the opportunity to rejoin the competition until Friday afternoon, the day of performances.

“It really came as a big surprise

by Scott Link and “How Will I Know,” performed by Rebecca Berhanu.

“I just think of my music idols when picking a song every week, then I try to find something that fits the theme of the week,” Berhanu said.

Berhanu used the grand piano to bring her arrangement to Whitney Houston’s song to life.

“I played around a lot with the keys by finding a way to show my strengths vocally. I think playing on the piano lets you show a lot more flexibility and showcases a different side of you as an innovator,” Berhanu said.

The contestants performed to a panel of judges including 2009 Faculty/Staff Idol Winner Shirley Robinson, President of the International Justice Mission WVU chapter Brady Smith, former Idol Contestant Brandon LeRoy, Special Event Coordinator for the WVU Mountainlair Student Union Erin Blake and world-touring music artist Scott Simon.

Contestants Brianna Paul, Matthew Stanley and George Capel were eliminated from the competition at the end of the night.

Round three of Mountaineer Idol will continue with the top 9 at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2 in the Mountainlair Ballroomas. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Drake and Future master their craft, Fetty in love

Ryan Adams covers Taylor Swift in his new pop-inspired album.

“1989” by Ryan Adams

««« The number one selling album of 2014 is going to continue selling now for someone else.

Ryan Adams, a solo alternative rock artist from the early 2000s, decided to make a track-by-track cover albumof Taylor Swift’s pop masterpiece “1989” which he released on Sept. 21 through his own record label PAX AM. Adams places the bubblegum album in a dusty old environment with a Springsteen sound and country charm. Slowing down some songs—softening the big, notable choruses that Swift was praised for—Adams twists the album into his own style. He changes some lyrics as well, to make the songs come from somewhere more relatable to him. “Style” had a very smooth adaptation, while “Blank Space” was turned into a light and intimate love song.

Adams has a great voice that knows its way around the “1989” soundtrack, and he fits really well over the guitar plucking and brief melodic riffing that Adams composes for almost every song. The album is not as interesting as Swift’s, though it is more organic and does not have as lasting an effect.

The songs are still good and well-adapted, but that is all the album stands to do. Adams’s “1989” is merely a cover album.

“What a Time to be Alive” is a collborative mixtape by Drake and Future.

“What a Time to Be Alive” by Drake & Future

Fetty Wap’s latest album was released last week.

“Fetty Wap” by Fetty Wap

«««««

«««

What A Time to Be Alive it is when we can look forward to our favorite artists collaborating on full mixtape/ albums, especially when those artists are Drake and Future. Two of the rap game’s most influential members known for breaking down walls in their respective genres, Drake and Future bring the best of both worlds to “What a Time to Be Alive.”

Some of Drake’s R&B musings over synth-heavy instrumentals carries over into the work as well as some of Future’s relentless, in your face, almost pornographic rap style which is found across the album from both rappers.

The album opens strong with an impressive instrumental from Metro Boomin’, who provided most of the instrumentals for WATTBA, on “Digital Dash.” Two long verses from the rappers kick us off, and then we see all of their different styles at work as we progress through more bangers like “Live from the Gutter” and fan favorite “Jumpman” as well as some more groovy tracks like “Diamonds Dancing” and “Plastic Bag.” The instrumentals and song structures make perfect sense for both artists, highlighting both of their strengths while also testing them in waters they are not commonly found. The tape ends with “Jersey” and “30 for 30 Freestyle,” solo songs for each of the rappers, which are both welcomed by the end of WATTBA. It took time for “What a Time to Be Alive” to grow on me but it surely has and it will surely stay in my ears for the next couple weeks.

Fetty Wap does what he does best on his self-titled debut, releasing 20 potential hit singles all at one time under one title. “Fetty Wap” was released on Sept. 25, behind an interesting album cover that displays Fetty’s infamous eye in a close up portrait of his visage. After extreme mainstream success following the universal explosion of “Trap Queen” and later “My Way” and “679,” Fetty Wap releases his first album under 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records.

The album features Fetty’s good friend and music partner Monty, who also grew in buzz since his feature on “679” began being sung at every party in town, on a whopping nine songs. He is the only other artist on “Fetty Wap” besides M80 who makes a short appearance. Fetty’s extremely unique and memorable pipes are obviously the strength of this album and a shocking focus on love throughout many of the songs like “Rewind” and slow jam “D.A.M.” when Fetty gets more into his R&B sound.

Nobody can pretend they expected this—“Trap Queen” could have been a one hit wonder, Fetty’s album could have been oversaturated with blithe content—but somehow it was inevitable all along.

The Fetty Wap train is moving full speed ahead without needing any help, and this alone is impressive enough to keep us all waiting for more. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Zumbathon raises money for Pharmacists association Melanie Smith A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Students danced to a latin beat to support West Virginia University pharmacists on Sunday.

The Zumbathon served as a fundraiser for the WVU chapter of the American Pharmacists AssociationAcademy of Student Pharmacists. Students gathered at the WVU Student Recreation Center to get a workout in while supporting the student organization.

APhA-ASP is a nationally-known organization.

The purpose of this association is to be the collective voice of student pharmacists as they grow in their careers. The association provides opportunities for professional growth, to improve care of patients, and to advance the future of pharmacy as a whole.

The WVU chapter aims to provide events like health fairs and screenings for the community of Morgantown in order to give back to patients. All of the money the organization raises essentially goes back to the community by providing these types of events.

All students were welcome to attend the Zumbathon and no pre registration was required.

Second-year medical student Victoria Zambito explained how the WVU APhA aims to specifically reach out and give back to the Morgantown community. Zambito is the vice president of fundraising for the WVU chapter. She said the goal is to create events to raise money for the chapter while involving students of WVU and Morgantown.

“A Zumbathon is an event where we dance for a couple of hours to latin music.

It is a latin-inspired dance fitness,” Zambito said.

“We will dance all the way through.”

Raffle prizes were given to students that participated. Local restaurants including Primanti Brothers, Buffalo Wild Wings and Eat’n Park provided gift cards to support the event.

Miranda Masters, a freshman engineering student, attends Zumba classes on a regular basis at the WVU Student Recreation Center. She heard about the event while attending a class the previous week.

“Zumba is like dance fit-

I find stuff like this extremely enjoyable,” Masters said. “I think it is so fun to work your cardio out while hanging out with friends.”

Zambito believes the aspect of connecting the people of Morgantown to the APhA encompasses the true value of being a pharmacist.

“It is all about us as student pharmacists getting the community

Tarang event celebrates diversity, focuses on Indian “Festival of Lights” Brittany Osteen A&E Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Last night, Diversity Week began with the Tarang event, an event hosted by the Indian Student Association. The event focused on the celebration of the popular Indian “Festival of Lights,” Diwali.

Diwali is a Hindu practice which began many centuries ago. It is known as the Indian festival of lights and is one of the most important holidays for Hindus.

The holiday is celebrated with lamps, bonfires, fireworks and other forms of light to signify the triumph of light over darkness.

“In the last centuries, a lot of people came to India,” said Anveeksh Koneru, a PhD mechanical engineering student. “There were many colonies of British, Portuguese and French. In the midst of all of them, the cultures got mixed up. If someone is speaking a different language, we know he is from a different part of India because there are six-thousand two-hundred different dialects in languages.

National Yoga Day on June 21. The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the date because it is the longest day of the year. It was first seen as a national holiday in 2014.

There is a strong belief that yoga is not for exercise; it is to find oneness with your self and the world. Since all emotions are created from within, yoga is seen to reinforce the inward reflection.

Another feature in the program was the sun salutation. Younger kids preformed the Surya Namsker that is also known as the sun salutation.

The salutation is a sequence of yoga positions performed to honor the sun.

“I love the program,” said Olivia Pavlic, a graduate physics student. “This is the third year that I have

attended. It is a really rich culture. It is colorful and diverse. Every state had a different language and something different to offer.”

The Indian Student Association will host other events throughout the year which include winter sports, New year, Republic day, movie nights and Holi, the festival of colors. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Milan Fashion Week showcases muted colors for next season MILAN (AP) — A calm is permeating many Milan runways, as designers tone down the colors and focus on form, creating quieter moments that nonetheless have much to contemplate.

As with any trend, it wasn’t unanimous and there were some unbridled fashion moments.

Here are some highlights from the fifth day of Milan Fashion Week previews of womenswear looks for next spring and summer: HEROINE’S WELCOME U.S. Open winner Flavia Pennetta got a spontaneous round of applause from the front row of Ferragamo on Sunday, the fifth day of Milan Fashion Week.

The all-Italian final game between Pennetta and fellow Puglia-native Roberta Vinci captivated the nation, and Pennetta, who has announced her retirement, is being feted as a national star.

Pennetta, wearing a red Ferragamo lace dress and knit shawl, fielded half a dozen TV interviews before the show, delaying slightly the start. Backstage, designer Massimiliano Giornetti gave her a big hug and laughed that he had heard the applause from behind the scenes. Giornetti said he is a long-time friend and fan of Pennetta’s, and has dressed her for sporting events in the past.

“I was in Los Angeles when Flavia was playing the U.S Open. I was like texting every five minutes to Flavia because I am a big, super

fan,” Giornetti said.

DOLCE&GABBANA Dolce&Gabbana’s exuberant collection for next summer paid homage to their native Italy, from Palermo in the south to Verona in the north, giving the country a much-needed ego boost.

Some of the most eyecatching, spirited looks celebrated Italy’s 1950s and 1960s heyday, when Audrey Heburn scooted around Rome in a scarf and Dean Martin crooned “That’s amore.” Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana dubbed the collection “Italy is Love,” a turn on the Martin phraseology, and while there were many nostalgic skirted sundresses and crocheted suits, they also created more contemporary looks.

The theater was set up to look like a market, and models casually overtook one other as if they were out for a stroll. Every once in a while, one stopped to take a selfie, as if to underline the of-themoment nature of the collection. In the ultimate social media-fashion hookup, the pictures were immediately posted to Instagram and flashed on screens hanging in the theater.

Amid the romantic pageantry, there were sheer ruched silk dresses with built-in bra tops and bodyhugging ruffled sundresses featuring black graphic strokes. With a wink to the past, the duo created highwaist polka dot bikinis, long

lacy caftans with sequin appliques of long-ago seaside performers, and pretty 1950 sundresses.

Models wore turbans and tiaras, as well as profusely bejeweled sunglasses fit for any diva, even if only of her town’s market, and carried Dolce&Gabbana shopping bags along with purses shaped like cameras or simple shopping baskets. The grand finale featured a parade of silken mini dresses with painted tributes to Italy’s many great cities and sites, from Roma to Pisa and Portofino to Taormina - fashion postcards celebrating the best of a country that is beloved but still seeing its way out of economic doldrums.

FERRAGAMO Massimiliano Giornetti’s collection for Salvatore Ferragamo is simplicity itself, an expression of quiet.

Giornetti took inspiration from timeless portraits of women in pensive, solitary moments, which hung backstage as a story board, and deduced from them the gently folded fabric, the soft ruffles and the draping that characterized the collection.

A white shirt was gathered gently along the neckline at with the same broad border at the short sleeves for a modern, structural look. It paired with a highwaist shiny black skirt. Big ruffles softened the silhouette of sundresses and tiered dresses were easy and laidback. Prints were absent, with the color pallet bringing vibrancy to the looks,

black-and-white, contrasted by rust, blue, pink and green.

While past Giornetti collections focused on Italian craftsmanship, the designer said this one explored a sense of lifestyle, and finding a balance between contrasts. `’It was what I was really looking for, a sense of lightness and a sense of simplicity,” Giornetti said. `’It is a collection much more about construction and less about surfaces.”

The looks were finished with big dangling pearl earrings and matching pendant that swung gently with each step. Shoes were colorful and flat, including closedtoe sandals. Bags were mostly small shoulder bags.

AU JOUR LE JOUR Splat! Ketchup on your cocktail dress? Ink on your trousers? Egg on your face?

Mirko Fontana and Diego Marquez, the designers behind the au jour le jour label, have designed the answer, and it lies in a pop image of the popular laundry detergent Dash, which they made the central motif of the collection.

Speaking backstage before the show, Fontana called it “democratic fashion. Dash is a brand of washing detergent very popular in Italy.”

The media-savvy young designers, whose 5-year-old brand is known for its easyto-share motifs, got the goahead from Procter & Gamble, owners of the Dash brand, to use the image in their collection.

It shows up on go-go boots paired with a jacket with faux ink-spots, as hand-stitched sequins logo on tank dresses and as jewelry. Many garments bear fake stains from coffee, ketchup and egg, that sometimes have a camouflage effect.

They pair insisted the product placement wasn’t promotional. “It’s inspiration. We used something used by real people, and added some value to the fashion,” Fontana said.

MISSONI Missoni went tribal for next summer, with bold stripes and zig-zags, veering from disciplined black-andwhite to explosions of color.

Angela Missoni said before the show that the collection goes back to roots: `’Missoni roots in graphics, and the root of humanity, so I went back to Africa.”

She combined dark tones of browns and blacks with red, fuchsia together with pink, or yellows with blues and greens.

The silhouette expresses the freedom of the looks. The dresses were fluid, both Aline and straight, while the pants were wide suggesting skirts or slim cigarette trouser. They were often worn with long, trailing ribbed knitwear that was nearly transparent. Long scarves are criss-crossed over the front and tied in the back to create a shrug.

Missoni said that for her, the ideal Missoni woman is ageless. `’When I can manage to

dress, not always, but when I can manage to dress my daughters and their girlfriends, my girlfriends and my mother’s girlfriends, this makes me so happy and I think I have achieved,” she said. `’Missoni is not about age but about your spirit.”

At Missoni, fashion is a family business and taking a front-row spot was Johnny, the family bulldog, who spent most of the show napping.

MARNI Marni’s looks for next season are post-pop art graphic, featuring architectural shapes, big shapes and bold, contrasting monotones.

With its oversized structural silhouette, big polka dots and graphic prints, the collection would make a great coloring book - except then you’d miss all the textures: fur, satin, velvet and sequins.

Pants are super-wide with an added element, a sort of wing or fin down the outside seam, as if they were a 1950s Cadillac. They are worn with layered tops, like a canary yellow apron-top with black straps over a forest green T-shirt.

Dresses were layered, often in unorthodox color combinations and with bold cutouts: a royal blue dress was worn over a yellow-perforated tunic topping a final red layer. When long, sleeves hung exaggeratedly over the hands. Sometimes contrasting sequins peeked out of the hemline cutouts, creating a sculptural effect.

STRESSING OVER TIME MANAGEMENT? When is my next exam? What was the homework for biology? When will I get to study? What time do I need to wake up? These are the kinds of questions that many students worry about on a daily basis.

Most of our day to day concerns come from worrying about the future.

This constant stress can easily become overwhelming if not handled properly. Unfortunately, time management isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone, but it is essential to leading a successful college career.

If you find yourself struggling to keep your calendar organized, WELLWVU has created a tool to make scheduling your daily life a bit more manageable. It’s called wellGO, and it’s more than your average calendar tool. It’s easy to navigate interface allows you to drag and drop activity blocks into a weekly schedule board. You can use these 15, 30, or 60 minute blocks to plan out every aspect of your life.

Students who already maintain a schedule for their commitments can be helped by this tool as well. Often, students will feel the need to schedule important tasks like class and studying, but ignore leisurely and recreational activities like eating, sleeping, and socializing.

WELLWVU knows that time spent on leisure can be just as important as time spent studying and in class. That is why they have broken down the activity blocks into ten different categories. Eating, spiritual practice, class, studying, working and volunteering, exercising, socializing, sleeping, drinking, and miscellaneous. Instead of only planning things that are stressed over, it allows you to also set aside time for yourself.

WellGO takes the weekly schedule one step further by offering an analysis of your weekly schedule. This analysis provides an evaluation of your lifestyle from a health perspective. It lets you know if you’re getting enough sleep, or eating enough meals. It will even recommend how much time to set aside for activities like socializing and spiritual connection. This schedule can then be exported into a Google Calendar, or excel spreadsheet.

Worry about the future isn’t all bad. A healthy amount of stress allows us to stay focused, and motivated. However, many college students allow that stress to pile up. This stress makes it difficult for students to live in the present moment. Instead of focusing on what needs to be done “now”, all of the focus falls on what needs to be done “next”.

Without adhering to a consistent schedule, everything that needs to be done “next” becomes overwhelming, and the performance of the student declines.

This idea of being in the present moment can actually be measured in WELLWVU’s Heart Math Lab. Here, software designed to track heart rate variability (HRV) using a sensor clipped to the earlobe measures ‘coherence’. A general heartrate is the average beats per minute, while HRV is the change in time between each beat, over a period of time.

When in a state of coherence, the heart beats evenly. However, when in a stressed state, the heart beats tends to beat unevenly.

Interestingly enough, a simple meditation exercise can be enough to bring someone from an incoherent state, into a coherent state. The exercise demonstrated in the software combined focused breathing exercises and calming music. The effect that it produces is noticeable, and the measurements back it up.

These two tools from WELLWVU can help students take control of their life by helping them stay on top of day to day activities, and by helping to keep them in the present moment. For the new scheduling tool, go to WellGO.wvu.edu. The Heart Math Lab is open to all students in the CPASS building adjacent to the Rec Center.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

No. 4 WVU gets ninth straight shutout in first Big 12 win over Texas

BY DAVID STATMAN

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

The streak is still alive.

Well, make that the streaks. With their 2-0 win over the Texas Longhorns on Friday night, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team kicked off Big 12 Conference play in style, keeping a number of remarkable runs going.

Not only have the No. 4 Mountaineers (10-1) furthered their 27-game home conference unbeaten streak, but the Mountaineers recorded their program-record ninth straight shutout and 10th overall of the season. West Virginia hasn’t allowed a goal in more than a month, with the two tallies allowed in their lone loss to Virginia Tech being the only scores against the Mountaineers this season.

“We are competing for a championship every Big 12 match, and I thought the team brought the intensity it needed tonight – they played for a championship,” said Mountaineer head coach Nikki IzzoBrown in an interview with WVUSports.com. “These points are critical moving forward given the parity within this conference.”

West Virginia has owned the opposition since the move to the Big 12 Conference in 2012 – they now boast a 21-1-2 all-time record in Big 12 games, riding the wave of energy from their home fans to a win over a 3-3-3 Texas team.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better crowd tonight,” Izzo-Brown said. “They were loud and proud, and they were completely behind us. That energy from Mountaineer Nation was incredible.”

The Mountaineers dominated the matchup, outshooting the Longhorns 31-5 over 90 minutes. The

Mountaineers brought the pressure right away, forcing Texas goalkeeper Abby Smith into five saves in the opening 15 minutes.

It was a herculean effort from Smith, who turned in a superb 10 saves, but it was only a matter of time before West Virginia broke through. In the 36th minute, freshman defender Hannah Abraham headed home a cross from fellow freshman Bianca St. Georges, notching her second goal of the season and giving the Mountaineers a lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.

“Abby is a special goalkeeper, and she was doing a great job of keeping Texas in the game,” IzzoBrown said. “Thank goodness Hannah had the focus and mentality to put the ball into the back of the net. She was not going to allow that ball to not go into the net. She was incredible.”

Star midfielder Ashley Lawrence put the game away in the 52nd minute when she cashed in a low cross from senior forward Kailey Utley, putting West Virginia up 2-0 with her third score of the season.

Senior keeper Hannah Steadman had an easy time in goal on Friday night, facing only two shots on net on her way to recording her seventh clean sheet of the 2015 season. Steadman was tested, however, in the 81st minute, when she denied Texas’ Julia Dyche on a laser-sharp free kick that looked destined for the roof of the net.

With the win, the Mountaineers move to 10-1 and their winning streak extends to nine straight.

The Mountaineers are next scheduled to take the pitch at 7 p.m. Friday when they face the TCU Horned Frogs at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

Harper, Papelbon fight in loss to Philadelphia WASHINGTON (AP) — NL MVP front-runner Bryce Harper and teammate Jonathan Papelbon got into a fight during a game Sunday, when a Washington Nationals season that long ago spiraled out of control on the field did so in the dugout.

After a flyout in the eighth inning of what became a 12-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, Harper headed to the dugout, where he and Papelbon, the team’s closer, exchanged words. The argument escalated, and Papelbon reached out with his left hand and grabbed Harper by the throat.

Papelbon then shoved the outfielder toward the bench with both hands, before teammates pulled the pair apart.

“I mean, he apologized, so, whatever,” Harper said with a shrug afterward in the clubhouse, messy smears of eyeblack on his cheeks. “I really don’t care.”

Asked whether he had tangled with a teammate before, Harper responded: “Usually fighting the other team.”

Papelbon said: “I’m in the wrong there. ... For me, I can’t allow that to happen in the middle of a game. You can handle that after the games or allow the manager to handle that. So in that light of it, I’m wrong.”

Nationals manager Matt Williams, whose highly touted team was officially eliminated from playoff contention Saturday, delivered terse answers during a briefer-than-usual postgame news conference.

“Certainly there’s a lot of testosterone flowing among young men competing. What I can tell you is this: This is a family issue and we’ll deal with it that way,” Williams said. “There was an altercation in the dugout, and we’ll leave it at that.”

He said there hadn’t been any discussion yet about whether the team might suspend Papelbon, who was acquired from the Phillies in a

trade in late July in hopes of a possible postseason push.

On Wednesday, Papelbon plunked Baltimore star Manny Machado and was ejected from that game; afterward Harper called the hit-by-pitch “tired” and worried aloud about whether the Orioles would retaliate by beaning him. Papelbon was suspended for three games

by Major League Baseball for hitting Machado but appealed, allowing him to continue playing.

On Sunday, Harper was replaced in right field for the ninth. He went 0 for 4 for the Nationals, who began the season as World Series favorites.

Already out of the chase for a wild-card berth, their playoff hopes ended completely Saturday when the New York Mets mathematically clinched the NL East title.

Harper entered Sunday leading the league in batting average (.339), homers (41), slugging percentage (.663) and on-base percentage (.470).

Papelbon (4-3), who entered in the eighth, went back to the mound for the ninth in what was a 4-all game. He allowed five runs, including Andres Blanco’s go-ahead, tworun homer.

Why did Williams keep Papelbon in the game after the scrap?

“He’s our closer,” Williams said. “That’s all I’m going to say on the matter. He’s our closer. In a tie game, he’s in the ballgame in the ninth inning.”

After Blanco’s homer, Papelbon loaded the bases, hitting Odubel Herrera with his final pitch before being removed by Williams - and leaving the mound to a chorus of boos from the Nationals Park crowd of 28,661.

“Sometimes, emotions spill over and that’s what happened today,” Papelbon said. “It’s happened for hundreds of years in this game and I think it will continue to happen.”

TURTLE SOUP

DJ Deskins sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Weekend tests early Big 12 play The Big 12 got its first taste of intra-conference play over the weekend and showed what teams can expect from each other entering the latter half of the season.

1. Baylor (3-0, 0-0) Although TCU sits atop conference rankings at 4-0, Baylor has been a more impressive team. They’ve blown out each team they’ve played by at least 30 or more points and have a Big 12 leading +123 in point differential.

2. TCU (4-0, 1-0) The Horned Frogs proved they’re the real deal after good wins against Minnesota and SMU, but a nail-biter against Texas Tech knocked them down to second in the conference rankings.

Texas Tech is no slouch, but TCU is too good to require the last minute heroics of star quarterback Trevone Boykin.

3. Oklahoma (3-0, 0-0) The Sooners have cemented their place at No. 3 mostly because of an impressive comeback win on the road at Tennessee. Their bye week this past weekend allowed them to regroup before entering Big 12 play against West Virginia.

4. West Virginia (3-0, 0-0) WVU faced its toughest test of the season against crossborder rival Maryland but showed their bye week did them nothing but good in a 45-6 win. The Mountaineers haven’t met much of a challenge yet, but strong play from quarterback Skyler Howard and safety Karl Joseph make them a dangerous opponent in the Big 12.

5. Oklahoma State (4-0, 1-0) The Cowboys narrowly beat Texas on Saturday, which is not something as impressive as it once was. However, 4-0 is not something to bat an eye at, and their team still features some of the Big 12’s top playmakers on both sides of the ball with Mason Rudolph as quarterback and the conferences’ sack leader in Emmanuel Ogbah.

6. Texas Tech (3-1, 0-1) Texas Tech is one of the few teams who lost its game and conference opener and improved their status on the field.

They took a top-five team in the country in TCU to the final drive and dropped 52 points on one of the Big 12’s top defenses. Not too shabby.

7. Kansas State (3-0, 0-0) The Wildcats have done nothing too impressive this season and nearly lost to Louisiana Tech last weekend. This week was the perfect time for a bye before heading into their conference opener at Oklahoma State.

8.Iowa State (1-2, 0-0) After beating up on Northern Iowa in week one, the Cyclones lost two straight games to Iowa and Toledo. They’ll play Kansas next week in a “must win” game before entering a stretch of schedule that they don’t stand a chance against: at Texas Tech, TCU, at Baylor.

9. Texas (1-3, 0-1) The Longhorns are probably better than ninth in the Big 12, but they’ve shown nothing that suggests otherwise. They were dominated by Notre Dame in week one and narrowly lost to Cal and Oklahoma State.

10. Kansas (0-3, 0-0) What did you expect? The Jayhawks will always bring up the rear in the Big 12. Having lost their first three games to San Diego State, Memphis and Rutgers, a win at Iowa State next weekend is their only realistic shot to avoid a 0-12 season. dsaports@mail.wvu.edu

Wendell Smallwood runs in a touchdown in Saturday’s win over Maryland

West Virginia defeats Maryland 45-6 in border battle game

BY DAVID STATMAN

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

On Sept. 21, 2013, the West Virginia University football team was crushed 37-0 by Maryland in what head coach Dana Holgorsen called the worst defeat of his coaching career.

The memory of that game has continued to haunt Holgorsen and the Mountaineers for the last two years.

So was Saturday’s 45-6 beatdown vengeance for WVU? Was it payback?

Holgorsen simply smiled, winked and said, “We rectified that in the first half.”

That they did. The Mountaineers dominated the Terrapins in every way a football game can be dominated on Saturday night, closing out their nonconference schedule with a 3-0 record in most impressive fashion.

West Virginia put the game away early, taking a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and 38-0 at halftime. Then, as the Terps continued to trip all over themselves and the game continued to veer further into the realm of a farce, Holgorsen decided to add insult to injury.

With a six-score lead in the third quarter, Holgorsen

decided to run a fake punt on 4th-and-12, and senior punter Nick O’Toole, who managed to keep Maryland’s dynamite return man William Likely out of the game completely, scampered to the sideline and dove for a first down.

Make no mistake – that was payback.

“Maryland doesn’t like us, and we don’t like Maryland,” O’Toole said. “They did it to us two years ago, and I was a part of that. That sucked, especially the drive back. I thought we should give them a little taste of their own medicine.”

West Virginia’s superiority on both sides of the ball was total on Saturday, but you don’t get to 45-6 against a Power 5 conference opponent without a little good fortune as well.

The Mountaineers forced five turnovers on Saturday afternoon, hounding Maryland’s overmatched starting quarterback, Caleb Rowe, into four increasingly mindnumbing interceptions before he was pulled from the game in the second half.

Twice, West Virginia turned the ball over before Maryland gave the ball right back.

When it was 35-0 in the second quarter, Terrapin

running back, Brandon Ross, broke free down the West Virginia sideline for a sure touchdown to give Maryland some life – before Mountaineer cornerback Terrell Chestnut chased him down at the last moment, forcing Ross to fumble through the end zone for a touchback.

“It sums him up on who he is,” Holgorsen said. “Just how much it means to him to be here and how much West Virginia University means to him. He’s what being a Mountaineer is all about. For him to chase that guy down at the one-yard line just sums up who he is.”

Chestnut also added an interception against Rowe, who only completed 10 of his 27 passes for 67 yards before he was replaced by Oklahoma State transfer Daxx Garman.

Faced with an offensive line that hadn’t allowed a single sack all season long, and having struggled mightily to generate a consistent pass rush, the Mountaineers blitzed heavily and managed to get into the backfield all game.

Maryland never adjusted to West Virginia’s defensive strategy, and the Mountaineers’ defensive pres-

sure completely disrupted the rhythm of Maryland’s offense.

“We were blitzing, and I thought they would start throwing more screens and stuff, and they never did,” Mountaineer defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said.

“So we kept bringing it, forcing them to throw quick. A couple times it ended in sacks, a couple times it ended in batted balls, a couple times in interceptions.

I felt that we got after them pretty well today, kept them off balance.”

That’s not to mention the work the Mountaineers did on offense. West Virginia generated 601 yards of total offense on Saturday, split evenly between the air and the ground.

Quarterback Skyler Howard threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns, with his new favorite target, speedy sophomore Shelton Gibson, logging six catches, 118 yards and two touchdowns – and one steamrolled Maryland cheerleader in the end zone after a long touchdown catch.

And meanwhile, the talented running back duo of Wendell Smallwood and the much-maligned Rushel Shell played to their full ca-

pabilities, exploiting the space created by a powerful performance from the Mountaineer line to combine for 224 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

“I felt like my back was against the wall,” Shell said, who broke out of Holgorsen’s doghouse to rush for 77 yards and a touchdown. “I had to prove a lot of people wrong. A lot of people were doubting me, saying I wasn’t doing the things I used to do last year. My main focus was not even thinking about it and just running.”

The border rivalry between West Virginia and Maryland is one of the Mountaineers’ most heated, and Saturday’s 45-6 result will be one that the Terrapins have to stew on for quite a while – this game isn’t on the schedule again until 2020.

The Mountaineers hope to carry this momentum into the coming weeks, where they will jump into the meat of their conference schedule. West Virginia’s Big 12 opener is set for next Saturday, as they’re set to face No. 15 Oklahoma in their first road game of the season. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

WVU moves to 5-3 after win over UNCG by alec gearty sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University men’s soccer team ended its two-game losing streak by defeating the UNC Greensboro Spartans 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Tucker Stephenson scored his first regular season goal at WVU in the 84th minute to improve the Mountaineers’ record to 3-5. The goal couldn’t have come at a more dire time, as the game was coming to a close.

“Tucker scored a big goal there,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. The goal came when Stephenson was just substituted back into the game to try to generate more offense.

“We literally just changed our shape, right before it happened,” LeBlanc said. “We were at one forward, and then went with two and put Tucker back in the game up there, and he scored the goal.

Hats off to him, I thought the creation of the goal was excellent.”

WVU’s Alec Boerner made his second consecutive start and recorded three saves.

Boerner’s first save came in the 33rd minute off a free kick that could have easily shifted

momentum.

The chances came early for a pair of WVU freshmen as in the second minute; Rushawn Larmond sent a shot over the crossbar, then 15 minutes later, Stephenson missed wide.

Throughout the beginning of the first half, the Mountaineers’ established offensive pressure limited the Spartans’ opportunities. This has been the story all season as they outscore opponents five to one in the first 15 minutes of a game.

In the 42nd minute, UNCG’s Hugo Coicaud was issued a red card which meant the Mountaineers would have the man advantage for the rest of the matchup. Coicaud was carded because he was deemed the last defender on the play, preventing Larmond to get a scoring chance.

This was the third-straight home game where a red card was called, and it played a major factor in the previous two games.

However, it was basically the tale of “new half, same story” as in the 47th minute; Felix Angerer redirected the feed high over the net. Last week, LeBlanc described his team as snake bitten. Given the amount of missed oppor-

Mountaineers drop Big 12 opener to No. 2 Texas by johnna herbig sports correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team lost to the Texas Longhorns Friday night, who won the game in a 3-0 shutout. The set scores were 25-16, 2517 and 25-16.

The loss was WVU and head coach Reed Sunahara’s first taste of the Big 12 this season and was a lesson learned for the team.

“Playing against the number two team in the country to open the (Big

12) season tells us where we are and what we need to work on,” Sunahara said in an interview with WVUSports.com.

The Mountaineer offense was led by sophomore outside hitter Morgan Montgomery, who had 12 kills. Freshman Bridgett Talia followed behind her adding seven to the team total of 32. With 32 kills, the team combined for 23 attacking errors.

Texas’ offense was almost as expected with their national ranking.

The Longhorns posted 35

kills on a .388 hitting average with nine attacking errors. Senior outside hitter Amy Neal led the team with 11 kills; juniors Paulina Cerame and Chiaka Ogbogu had six and seven kills respectively.

WVU’s senior setter Brittany Sample had a teamhigh 10 digs as well as 23 assists for her third double-double this season.

In the first set WVU took a quick 3-1 lead, but Texas returned six unanswered points, taking the lead 7-3. West Virginia couldn’t quite get rolling after that,

on the first set alone only hitting a .053 clip. Texas continued its roll and had another run on the net extending its lead to 18-9.

Montgomery posted backto-back kills to stop the Longhorns’ run, but they weren’t enough. Texas took the set 25-16 on a serving ace.

Set two started with an early Texas lead, 6-2, with help from back-toback service aces. Montgomery and sophomore Mia Swanegan both put down a few kills, brining the score to 9-8. Soon af-

ter, the Longhorns took it up a notch and brought the score up to 15-10. Texas continued to stay on fire and win the set, 25-17.

Coming in with a 2-0 lead, Texas only had to win the third set to take the match victory.

The game was tied when both teams had 6-6, but WVU made attacking errors which gave Texas time to move up 7 points.

Senior Caleah Wells and Montgomery had a few kills later in the set, but it wasn’t enough to turn the score around.

“The question is ‘did we compare our team well enough to compete tonight, or are we doing the right things?’” Sunahara said in reference to Friday’s loss. “I think we are. I think we’re getting better. I saw some good things happen tonight. We’re just not consistent enough.”

The Mountaineers are back in action again at 6 p.m. Wednesday, against the TCU Horned Frogs.

The atmosphere at the Mountaineer Tennis Courts was palpable on this action-packed weekend of WVU athletics. Cheers rang out across the stands from family members, friends, and fellow teammates in support of the players grinding out matches on the courts.

“Overall, there was improvement from last weekend, but we have to continue to get better and improve,” said head coach

Miha Lisac. “We have to continue to be consistent in our play and in our approach in doubles. Overall, we took steps forward this weekend.”

The Mountaineers fared well in singles action, managing to put three players into the finals of the four singles flights. Despite strong doubles performances in the early rounds, the Mountaineers struggled in the semifinals and were unable to win any of the doubles flights.

BASEBALL

WVU drops fall opener to Potomac State, 6-3 by nicole curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

The West Virginia University baseball team is participating in a fall ball schedule to get some practical playing time in with new players and to utilize the field while it’s available.

Sunday afternoon, West Virginia’s sister school Potomac State College visited the Monongalia County Ballpark to take on the Mountaineers, and the Catamounts took home a win 6-3.

A few weeks ago, WVU held open tryouts to fill the last few slots on its roster.

Going into these fall games the team boasts 18 freshmen as well as several returning guys who come in with solid experience from last season.

“The purpose of these

fall games is to avoid this happening in the spring time, because if we don’t play outside competition in the fall, you try and evaluate your team based off of intra-squad (games),” said head coach Randy Mazey.

“We’re just trying to learn right now, you learn way more about your team when you lose than when you win, so that was probably the best thing that could have happened to us becasue that’s a learning experience alone.”

West Virginia saw three pitchers through Sunday’s game.

Braden Zarbinsky started off in the first inning, but Potomac State scored three runs after walking the lead batter.

Freshman Jacob Brewer took the mound in the second inning and struck out eight batters through the five innings he pitched.

After Brewer’s time,

freshman Tanner Camp- onated through the team.

WVU’s Tony Strasiser tries for third on Sunday against Potomac State. bell pitched for the sixth inning, followed by sophomore Nicholas Wernke through the last three innings of the game.

While none of the fall ball games will be counted as technical wins or losses, the feeling of a loss still res-

“If they learn why we lost today and why a junior college came in here and beat a Big 12 team, then it was a very valuable experience, but if they don’t take anything away from it then it’s just another loss,” Mazey said.

The remainder of the fall schedule is something the Mountaineers can continue to work on. Coach Mazey said the focus of this week and heading into Waynesburg Friday is the team’s energy.

“If we played Texas today the energy would have been outstanding, and guys would have been excited to hit and pitch, they see different teams on the schedule and get different levels of excitement,” he said. “You’ve got to find a way to motivate yourself against everybody on the schedule.”

Following last season when West Virginia finished 27-27 with a handful of players who were awarded for their performances on the season, there’s experience and leadership to be shared with the number of newcomers to the program. Senior catcher Ray Guerrini

has been on the team since his freshman year and contributed an RBI in the bottom of the second to get the Mountaineers on the board yesterday.

Guerrini’s mentality as a team leader was somewhat the same as coach Mazey’s.

“We tried to get as many people in the game as we can because we want to see who’s going to compete who’s going to play because there’s a lot of different players,” he said.

“Obviously it’s disappointing that we lost, but there’s a lot of positive stuff that came out of today.”

The fall baseball slate continues this weekend when West Virginia faces Waynesburg at 7 p.m Friday at the Monongalia County Ballpark. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu
