Students on loans and tuition:
9.72% 8.49% 7.47% 7.12%
Default rate percentage
WVU has the highest rates of student loan default in the Big 12, and 725 graduates from the 2012 class have defaulted on their loans over the last four years. By 2016, almost 10 percent of WVU graduates who started repaying their federal student loans in 2012 defaulted, or were unable to pay off their loans, according to data from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by the Center for American Progress. Oklahoma State University has the second highest default rate in the Big 12 behind WVU at 7.51 percent. The University of Texas, at 2.54 percent, has the lowest rate. This FOIA data reveals loan default rates up to five years after graduation. The U.S. Department of Education only requires schools to track students’ default rates for three years post-graduation. Since the federal government requires colleges to track just three years, WVU registers the 2014 default rate of 7.47 percent. But in the FOIA, it showed WVU’s default rate in 2015 rose to 8.49 percent and eventually 9.72 percent in 2016. In 2012, when the loan default numbers first started being tracked, zero students defaulted, partially because of the six-month grace period of paying back federal loans. But in 2013, the default rate rose to 7.12 percent. So, this data set shows in 2015 and 2016, the years WVU isn’t required to track loan defaults, the overall default rate jumped a combined 2.25 percent, or 194 students. WVU graduates who began repaying loans in 2012 borrowed a total of $147,496,688, according to the FOIA. One reason for the high default
“We get a lot of stuff for our tuition so I don’t think it’s too high. Like through WVU there are so many opportunities,” she said. “I have a full-ride in scholarships. My parents told me they were not helping me pay so I had to get scholarships.” -Kelsey Rhodes, finance/accounting student from Buckhannon, West Virginia

Year rates is because West Virginia is a low-income state, and more families are requiring assistance to be able to afford college in the first place, said Sean O’Leary, a senior analyst for the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy. “About a decade ago, West Virginia enacted a series of large tax cuts. While they were phased in over time, once fully enacted they cost the state about $425 million per year,” O’Leary said. “This led to budget problems and cuts to higher education funding.” “The cuts to higher education funding were made up with tuition increases,” he added. In West Virginia, state spending on higher education per student fell by $2,370, or 26 percent from 2008 to 2018, according to West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy statistics. Tuition in West Virginia also increased by $2,677 for four-year public colleges and universities, or 51.4 percent, from 2008 to 2018.

“Since I’m in-state and have the Promise and then another scholarship, I don’t think it’s that bad for me personally, but I can understand why some people think it’s high, out-of-staters especially,” he said. -Nick Muto, marketing student from Hurricane, West Virginia

“I’m so pissed about everything. I pay so much to go here, but it feels like nothing is done. We have shitty professors—ones that’ll just sit there and preach their political ideology to you—and then others who really don’t care,” he said. “My first year, my dad helped me out, and I had scholarships. My second year, I got student loans and scholarships. I’m shipping out for boot camp next semester, so I’ll have the GI Bill.” -Cole Aston, Political Science student from Cameron, West Virginia

Supply chain students receive recognition in two competitions BY CARLY VANIVER STAFF WRITER
The WVU global supply chain management program has been named a winner in a worldwide competition. On Oct. 7, WVU was named one of five divisional winners at the General Motors/ Wayne State University Supply Chain Case Competition in Detroit. A total of 24 teams from the U.S., Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico and China were challenged to solve problems from a complex case study. This was the first WVU team to ever become finalists in the GM competition. The team was made up of supply chain management seniors Rena Kobelak, Kadin Burris, Ryan Stewart and Amy Toscano. Kobelak said she’s happy this introduced more people to WVU’s supply chain program. “We were really excited to represent the University and to get the word out there that we have a supply chain program,” she said. “We are still growing, and we’re competitive with other distinguished
“The experience taught me how to adapt to an unfamiliar work environment. That, coupled with real-world problems, is a background you can’t get anywhere else.” -Clif Teter, global supply chain student schools, like Michigan State and Penn State, that are known for having good supply chain programs.” Two weeks prior to the GM competition, WVU achieved their fourth consecutive win at the Race to the Case Supply Chain Management Competition on Sept. 22 at the University of Pittsburgh. The Mountaineers competed against teams from Penn State University, the University of Pittsburgh, Robert Morris University and Carnegie Mellon University. This year’s team included global supply chain management students Michala Luck and Clif Teter, and industrial engineering students Christian Hores and Brandon Slicklein. “We received a packet of problems and information needed to solve the problems,
had an hour to do so, and literally ran to the next location to receive the next packet for round two,” Teter, a senior double major in finance and global supply chain management, said. “After we finished round two, the top three teams were selected and advanced to round three. In round three, we were given a final packet of tasks and were required to prepare a PowerPoint presentation in only 30 minutes.” Teter said this experience helped prepare him for the future. “The experience taught me how to adapt to an unfamiliar work environment,” he said. “That, coupled with real-world problems, is a background you can’t get anywhere else.

Displaced Summit students return, speak about short stay at Evansdale BY CIARA LITCHFIELD AND QUEST BABCOCK STAFF WRITERS
The 24 displaced Summit Hall students have finally returned home after nearly a month away while maintenance crews worked to fix the leaking roof and water-damaged rooms and hallways. After being forced out Sept. 13, some students said they were moved back Oct. 4 and others returned Oct. 7. WVU initially said the students would be moved for about two weeks, but the stay in Brooke Tower ended up being closer to four weeks for them. One of the students said they are all now pretty skilled at moving into WVU residence halls. “It was easier moving back to Summit because we have now moved in three times,” said Madison Grigg, a freshman forensic and investigative science student who lives on the 10th floor. Students said the University allowed the students to choose which of the two days they wanted to move back to
“I liked how life was a little slower paced there than downtown, but I did not like how far I was from my classes,” -Daniel Delanty, Summit ninth floor resident Summit. WVU Facilities Management helped the students pack their belongings and provided carts, boxes and trash bags for students to transport their stuff back in. Grigg said she didn’t completely unpack when she was relocated to make the move back to Summit easier. While the affected students said they enjoyed the slower pace of life on Evansdale, they also held a distaste for the tighter schedule and reliance on-campus transportation that they didn’t have before. “I liked how life was a little slower paced there than downtown, but I did not like how far I was from my classes,” said Daniel Delanty, a freshman journalism student who lives on the ninth floor. “Getting up earlier to have to rely on the PRT was something that I never came to enjoy,” Delanty added. Overall, the displaced students said they didn’t much enjoy the series of events and
hope this will be the last move they are forced to make this year. Delanty said the constant moving hasn’t allowed them to get used to living in one place. “Right when we got used to [Evansdale], we were gone again,” Delanty said. The Daily Athenaeum has submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the total maintenance costs of the damage. WVU contracted an outside group, Panhandle Cleaning and Restoration, to help conduct the repairs. The affected areas of Summit were mostly to the top two floors, University Director of News April Kaull said last month. “There was damage to some floors and walls, primarily, and there was a little bit of ceiling damage on the 10th floor,” Kaull said. “And then the damage did include both hallways and rooms.”

These competitions were a team effort based on all the courses the students take in
the supply chain program. Ednilson Bernardes, a professor of global supply chain management and program coordinator, said these competitions were valuable experiences for his students. “These competitions afford the students the opportunity to apply what the knowledge,
tools and skills they are learning in class to solve complex and realistic supply chain problems,” he said. “They also have the opportunity to interact with peers from other top programs in the country, and, in this case, the world, and with senior supply chain professionals.”
Default continued from p. 1 “The state’s economy has been fairly stagnant, with most jobs being added [are] paying low wages,” O’Leary said. “So when students graduate, they can struggle to find a job that pays enough to make ends meet while servicing their loans. If students default, it can have lasting financial consequences, making it more difficult to apply for credit or save in the future.” As a result of defaulting on loans, students could have wages garnished, tax refunds withheld and social security checks garnished, said Ben Miller, the senior director for postsecondary education at the Center for American Progress. It also might make it harder to get an apartment, mortgage or job. Miller said a default rate after five years of 10 percent isn’t necessarily bad, but when the default rate begins rising exponentially from year to year, it becomes troublesome. “Colleges get judged on the share of students who default within three years of entering repayment,” Miller said. “If there’s a big jump from year thee to year five, that suggests colleges
are actively taking steps to keep the default rate low and avoid accountability, and once the government stops caring, they just let a bunch of students default.” Miller also said the type of students colleges enroll does not entirely explain default rates, but it does have some connection. “West Virginia is not as wealthy of a state as, say, the University of Texas at Austin is, and so I would expect that UT Austin probably has a much lower default rate than West Virginia,” Miller said. “It’s probably driven by the fact that students there are somewhat richer and they probably have a higher graduation rate.” Typically, a lower graduation rate leads to higher default rates, Miller said. However, over the fiveyear span from 2008 to 2012, all at-risk populations saw an increase in four-year graduation rates in West Virginia. Graduation rates for low-income students increased 5.1 percent, transfer students increased 0.9 percent, undergraduate adults increased 1.6 percent and underrepresented minorities increased 4.7 percent, according to the West Vir-
ginia higher education report card. Many borrowers and defaulters are low-income students not only at WVU, but across the country, Miller said, and forcing those students to borrow has turned college in the U.S. into a debt trap causing default rates to continue to rise. Miller wrote an op-ed for The New York Times last month titled “The Student Debt Problem Is Worse Than We Imagined,” which highlights the importance of tracking loan default over a five-year period as opposed to three years. Marshall University and the West Virginia Junior College’s default rates are higher than WVU’s. Marshall has a 12.5 percent default rate, and the Junior College’s rate is close to triple WVU’s at 29.5 percent, according to the FOIA data. In 2017, the U.S. Department of Education reported that West Virginia had the highest loan default rate in the country at 18.3 percent.

WVU works to prevent hazing as concerns hang over Greek life BY CODY NESPOR CULTURE EDITOR
Despite all the benefits that Greek life can provide to students, what usually comes to people’s minds when they think of fraternities and sororities is hazing. Greek life hazing on college campuses generally enters the national news following a student death or other such high-profile incident. Last year, there were three such deaths at Penn State, LSU and Florida State. In 2014, there was even such an incident here at WVU when freshman Nolan Burch died of alcohol poisoning. Matthew Richardson is the director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at WVU and is also the chair on the hazing prevention task force. He said the concern over hazing is not going to go away and it needs to be monitored. “I’m not an apologist for the fact that people are dying and it’s a big deal. Of course, more people make it out of new member education and rituals than don’t, but the fact that one person doesn’t is a problem, and it deserves attention,” Richardson said. “So, I don’t think there’s any way you can

disassociated from the University this semester. Richardson said the disassociated fraternities do not have the same University oversight as affiliated groups. This can make it more difficult to know exactly what these fraternities are doing. “The difference is with a recognized fraternity or soror-
ity, we’re reviewing their new member process, and we’re approving it ahead of time. That’s not being done from a University standpoint with the disassociated groups,” Richardson said. “At the very least, it’s not as transparent.” The disassociated fraternities have formed an independent interfraternity council.
In a press release, the council specifically took issue with deferred recruitment for first-semester freshmen and the Reaching the Summit report issued by WVU. It went on to say “[f]urther, we feel that there is an inherent bias toward Greek organizations from the university administration that has resulted
in the unfair treatment of our members and fraternities.” In the last week of September, WVU participated in National Hazing Prevention Week. This is the second such week the University has devoted to hazing prevention, the first happening in January last semester. Richardson said the focus of such weeks are awareness, education and commitment. “It’s raising awareness of the act, but also giving strategies on how to report and eradicate the act and committing to reporting and eradicating the act,” he said. Part of the education is that hazing is not limited to just Greek life. “It’s problematic that people think that hazing-prevention week is only for the Greeks,” Richardson said. “Hazing can be found in any group.” The hazing prevention task force includes members from Greek life, athletics, the band, various student groups, SGA, several University offices, WellWVU and UPD. While Greek life is usually the focus, the task force hazing prevention weeks can help to educate the entire campus on what hazing is and how to stop it in any context.
West Virginia plays host to newest “Fallout” franchise installment BY STEPHANIE GOLDEN CULTURE WRITER
The video game set in West Virginia, “Fallout 76,” will be coming out on Nov. 14. Back in May, Twitter feeds blew up with talk of the new “Fallout 76” teaser, and for good reason too. It was later revealed that the game is set in West Virginia, which was evident by the video’s theme song of “Country Roads” and several famous landmarks from the mountain state. A trailer that came out later was less than three minutes long, but in that short time, viewers can see the state Capitol, New River Gorge, Camden Park, The Greenbrier Hotel, Moundsville Penitentiary, Harper’s Ferry, Hutte Swiss Restaurant and WVU’s own Woodburn Hall. The “Fallout” game series began in 1997. It also has several spin-off games, including the new “Fallout 76”. All of the games have been set in the 22nd and 23rd centuries in the aftermath of a nuclear fallout. The original game is set in California and follows
a protagonist known as the “Vault Dweller” on a mission to recover a water chip in the underground shelter known as Vault 13. Similarly, there is a vault in the new game known as Vault 76. It is suspected that a major deciding factor to set the game in West Virginia came from the discovery of the secret bunker located at The Greenbrier Hotel; this was built in case there was ever a nuclear attack on Washington D.C. The new spin-off is a prequel to the original games and involves an interesting spin from any of the other games. Each game involves the vaults, but Vault 76 is believed to be a “control vault” near the Washington D.C. area. The other vaults in previous games were supposedly performing experiments on their inhabitants. Many characters in the new game are based on West Virginia folklore. “Fallout 76” is also the first time that the game series has ever featured a multiplayer mode. The game will be available on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

OPINION Is humanity safe? Effort must be put forth to combat devastating effects of climate change and energy issues BY SIERRA POWERS OPINION WRITER

Is climate change the most important issue facing humanity today? Logan Thorne of Friends of Blackwater, a conservation group in West Virginia, said it is. “That may sound like a hyperbole, but it’s not,” he said. Many industries such as agriculture, fisheries and forestry are all at risk, facing many obstacles including ocean acidity, extreme heat and lack of pollination due to a decreased number of honey bees. “All of this together will raise the price of food worldwide, while wages stay stagnant or fall,” Thorne said. “Couple this with the fact that sea level rise is reducing the amount of usable land globally, causing overpopulation and compounding food shortages and raised prices; we’re looking at a global crisis. And these are just a few of the many climate issues facing us. The good news is we’re developing a growing idea of what to do.” Main contributors to cli-

Greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, the cultivation of crops and livestock, deforestation and the industry sector. Other global emissions are the product of transportation and burning fuel for heat or to cook. “In order to avoid the most devastating effects of climate change, we must first focus on the largest emitters, and can no longer follow ‘business as usual,’” Thorne said.
include: • climate change communication • controlling methane emissions • solar opportunities and obstacles •putting a price on carbon In addition to attending the event, Thorne says students can be involved in other ways. “The main way students at WVU can help the environment is to get involved, both at the University level and politically,” he said. “Lifestyle choices, such as recycling, avoiding single-use plastics and lowering your meat intake are all important, but the most environmentally-impactful decisions are made by those at the highest level of industry and politics. Learning about the issues and speaking truth to power is the most direct avenue to better laws and regulations, which will ultimately be the most important step in fighting the climate crisis.” The conference is free to the public, but registration is required and can be found here: https:// www.saveblackwater.org/ conference-page.

“This means changing the way the world receives its energy, food and a concerted effort to reforest the planet.” In an effort to combat these climate and energy problems around the world, Friends of Blackwater and the WVU College of Law Center for Energy and Sustainable Development will be co-hosting a “National Energy Conference 2018— Climate Issues Update.” Thorne will help coordinate the event that will be held on Dec. 1 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the WVU College of Law Event Hall. Former WVU student and Morgantown native Emily Calandrelli will be the event’s keynote speaker. Calandrelli is a correspondent on the Emmy-nominated Netflix series, “Bill Nye Saves the World,” and executive producer and host of FOX’s “Xploration Outer Space.” Calandrelli is the author of a children’s book promoting STEM literacy called “Ada Lace Adventures.” During the event, Calandrelli and other climate experts will present the latest climate issues and developments.

Sen. Manchin has made it clear to the people of West Virginia that he is the quintessential definition of a disreputable political stereotype. Before the senator cast his vote for Kavanaugh, I swore that if Manchin voted in favor of the nominee, then he would lose my vote. But I have decided to vote for Manchin anyway. This is why: I want to use Manchin as a pawn. I am aware that he
votes in support of Trumpian politics over 60 percent of the time, but Manchin continuously votes for whatever policies will pave the way for re-election. With Election Day fast approaching, Democrats are winning the generic congressional ballot. A shift in party power could be enough to nudge a reserved Manchin to vote in line with other Democrats, buying liberals another 6 years of Manchin’s time to be used to help restore balance. Manchin is a career politician. His self-preservation will be held as a higher pri-
ority than the wishes of his Democratic constituents. His approval of Kavanaugh was an egregious mistake and a slap in the face to survivors across the nation. But I will vote for him. If senior Republican congressmen want to treat our political proceedings like a game, then I am prepared to play to win. I’m tired of seeing abusive men rise to power in our families, our offices and our governments. This November, I will continue to advance Sen. Manchin onto the political stage, because even pawns can win a game of chess.

Should WVU consider scheduling a 12th game? BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL So it looks like there’s a possibility WVU’s playoff bubble has burst. With Saturday’s 30-14 loss at Iowa State, the Mountaineers now have to play perfectly for the remainder of the season to finish it with 10 wins. If WVU does lose another game to Texas or Oklahoma or one of the other remaining teams on their schedule, they’d be looking a best case scenario of a 9-2 record, a record that would be unlikely to earn a New Year’s Six bowl bid. So the question should be asked…does WVU need to schedule a 12th game? If the Mountaineers still control their destiny to get to the Big 12 Championship on Dec. 1, but should they lose, that weekend will be free. Now please don’t misunderstand, WVU should not schedule a series outright, just a conditional agreement where the contract could be void should the Mountaineers qualify for the Big 12 Championship. NC State, who was originally scheduled to play the Mountaineers on Sept. 15, already has a conditional home game against East Carolina on Dec. 1 should they not qualify for the ACC Championship, leaving the option for WVU and NCSU impossible. The following are some of the options that WVU might have to get that third non-conference win. South Carolina South Carolina holds a 3-3 record, but all three of their losses came against teams currently ranked in the AP Top 25 (Georgia, Kentucky and Texas A&M). The Gamecocks still have No. 11 Florida and No. 3 Clemson remaining on their schedule. USC lost a home game
against Marshall, scheduled for Sept. 15, due to Hurricane Florence. Because of the three losses they already have, it is all but certain that South Carolina will not be playing in the SEC Championship on Dec. 1. Since their game against Marshall was scheduled to be played at home in Columbia, it would be likely that the 12th game for both teams would be played there. Historically, the Mountaineers and Gamecocks had a regular series with each other in the late 1940s and early 1950s and then again in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when both teams were independent. Through 12 games, the Mountaineers hold a 7-4-1 lead in the series. North Carolina Florence took another game between UCF-North Carolina in Chapel Hill, also scheduled for Sept. 15. A game between West Virginia and North Carolina would likely be played in Chapel Hill. The problem with WVU playing the Tar Heels would be that it would likely not give the Mountaineers a leg up in the hunt for a New Year’s Six bowl bid. North Carolina only holds one win, a narrow one against Pitt. Also, the atmosphere would not be ideal for any college football fan. A football game being played in Chapel Hill during basketball season with a team with likely only two or three wins won’t be fun for anybody. The Mountaineers and the Tar Heels have never played each other in the regular season. UNC beat WVU 20-13 in the 1997 Gator Bowl. West Virginia returned the favor, 31-30, in the 2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl. UCF Now if WVU were to play any team from that canceled game in Chapel Hill, it would be bet-
ter to play UCF. The Golden Knights are currently sitting at 10th in the AP Poll and have now won 19 straight games. The tricky part about scheduling UCF is that they are much more likely to be busy the week of Dec. 1 than West Virginia, possibly playing in the American Athletic Conference Championship. The upside for WVU is that UCF is playing in the most stacked division in college football, the American East, which includes two other undefeated teams (No. 20 Cincinnati and No. 21 South Florida). Should the Golden Knights lose to one to either Cincinnati or South Florida, a game against West Virginia would be very beneficial for both teams. Since UCF has already played seven home games, it would be more likely a game between the two teams would take place in Morgantown. West Virginia and UCF have only played each other twice, in 2003 and 2004. The Mountaineers won both games. Ole Miss Unlike the rest of the teams on this list, Ole Miss did not have a game canceled due to Hurricane Florence, which might make this game a tough one to schedule. The Rebels are on a oneyear self-imposed postseason ban due to recruiting violations committed under former head coach Hugh Freeze, so the weekend of Dec. 1 will definitely be available. The sticky part is that the game would have to come with NCAA approval. Under current NCAA rules, a team may only play 13 regular season games if they play at Hawaii. So the NCAA would have to grant an exception for such a game to be possible. A win over Ole Miss would likely look good to the College Football Playoff committee. Currently, the Rebels hold only

Since Ole Miss already has seven home games, it’s more likely that the game would be played in Morgantown. The Mountaineers have only played the Rebels once before, a 49-38 win in the 2000 Music City Bowl, which was the final game under longtime WVU head coach Don Nehlen.

you want as a college football fan? Virginia Tech originally had a home game against East Carolina, but it was canceled due to Florence. The Hokies cannot reschedule that game due to the aforementioned NC StateEast Carolina agreement. A problem with the possibility of a WVU-Virginia Tech game is that the Hokies are the only remaining undefeated in the ACC Coastal division, making their athletic department unlikely to be willing to schedule a game on the weekend of Dec. 1. While the Hokies did lose
to Old Dominion on Sept. 22, a WVU win over the Hokies could still prove to be an impressive win and could still put them in the conversation for a major bowl. If the game were to be scheduled, it’s more likely that the game would be played in Blacksburg. WVU and Virginia Tech have played each other 52 times, the most recent being a 31-24 Hokie win last season in the Washington metropolitan area. The Mountaineers hold the alltime series 28-23-1.

Young Mountaineers making an impact for Izzo-Brown BY MATT GOLD
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
WOMEN’S SOCCER West Virginia women’s soccer team has nine seniors on the current roster. They get a lot of the attention and carry the load for the Mountaineers on offense and defense, and they arebeing called upon for leadership and to help develop the younger players. It is not just the seniors that are making a difference for the Mountaineers. There are plenty of underclassmen that are producing for WVU. Sophomore midfielder Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel leads the team in points with 12 and goals with five. She has played in all 15 games with seven starts. Another sophomore, forward Lauren Segalla, has started all 15 games. She has scored twice and has recorded three assists. Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown has given the younger players a lot of praise over the course of the season. “You look at Jordan Brewster, and I don’t give her enough credit, coming in and having to learn so much that these three seniors have learned,” Izzo-Brown said. “But she’s just doing an incredible job of just plugging

Pierre-Louis is now playing professionally for Sky Blue FC of the National Women’s Soccer League. Brewster is a freshman who has started every game in the back for WVU. She and senior Easther Mayi Kith have formed a tough back line for opposing offenses to break. “Then you kind of move up, and Grace Cutler has taken care of a lot of young
midfielders. Steffie [Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel] has been huge. And then Addie Clark, another freshman, that has had a huge role,” Izzo-Brown said. Clark has started the last nine games and has scored one time. That came in the 3-0 win against Xavier on Aug. 30. “They have brought so much,” said senior Bianca St. Georges of the younger players. “I’m so happy about our underclassmen. They have been really important to the team.” St. Georges, who scored both goals in WVU’s comefrom-behind victory against
Texas, has been one of the leaders for the Mountaineers. She was just named a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award. According to wvusports.com, “To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School.” St. Georges compares the seniors and upperclassmen to big sisters and loves the energy that they play with. “Their energy and inno-

They really add a huge impact to the team,” she said This weekend, WVU will be put to the test on the road—it will be their third road game in a road. On Friday, West Virginia will travel to Oklahoma State for an al-
ways physical game, then will wrap the weekend up in Norman against Oklahoma. “It’s not easy, but I think [the underclassmen] have done it very effectively and gracefully and have taken a lot of pride in doing it,” Izzo-Brown said.
Piatczyc sparks WVU after return from injury BY COLE MCCLANAHAN SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S SOCCER After missing three games in September due to injury, West Virginia’s Joey Piatczyc had a slow start to his comeback. Piatczyc was held scoreless and without an assist in his first three games back, and WVU went 2-1 in those matches. The Lee’s Summit, Missouri native was held to only three shots-on-goal in the matches and even had a missed penalty kick in West Virginia’s match against Binghamton. Although Piatczyc struggled, WVU (9-5, 2-0 MAC) still felt his impact following his threegame absence. The Mountaineers went 2-1 without their senior leader in the lineup, but the loss was 4-1 to Radford, who was 0-5 at the time. After the match, WVU’s head coach Marlon LeBlanc called it the worst loss in his 13year tenure as head coach. “We didn’t anticipate what happened last game to hap-
pen. I don’t think those things happen under Joey Piatczyc’s watch,” LeBlanc said about West Virginia’s loss to Radford. Piatczyc and the Mountaineers, however, got back to regular form and ended their struggles in their last match, a 2-1 overtime win over the Akron Zips. Akron scored a goal 12 minutes into the match, which put them ahead 1-0, and they held onto the lead for almost the entire game. They did until Piatczyc scored with 13 seconds remaining to tie the match and sent it into sudden death overtime. The goal was his first since Sept. 15 against Saint Francis (Pennsylvania) and his third for the season. Once overtime began, Piatczyc stayed aggressive and was able to find the back of the net, again. This time, only 2:32 into the period, and gave West Virginia the win. “I talked to Joey this week about needing to get back into form,” LeBlanc said after WVU’s win over Akron. “The layoff hurt

Tonight, you saw him really start to shine through again.” The match against Akron was the first two-goal game of Piatczyc’s career, and it earned him his third Mid-American Conference (MAC) Player of the Week award this season. Piatczyc currently leads the MAC with three game-winning goals and tops with two goals
and four points in conference play. His 12 total points also lead WVU, and his four goals on the season are tied for first on the team. Following his two-goal effort against Akron, Piatczyc will look for his first back-to-back scoring games of the season in WVU’s next match and will try to earn the Mountaineers their fifth win in their last six.

Mountaineer swimmers and Mountaineers to divers set to host Seton Hall face TCU, OU on and Xavier in home opener weekend road trip BY ANDREA WARNER SPORTS WRITER
SWIMMING The West Virginia University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are riding high after sweeping the West Virginia State Games in Huntington, West Virginia on Saturday. The eighth annual, twoday event hosts collegiate swimming and diving programs from across the state. In total, the Mountaineers won 39 of 40 events at the meet. This is the eighth consecutive win in a row for the men’s team and the women took their seventh victory in the eight years. Two of the leading swimmers were junior Morgan Bullock and sophomore David Dixon. In total, Bullock and Dixon won 10 events each, five individual events
and five relays throughout the weekend. “Congrats to David, who had a very tough swim schedule last week,” WVU coach Vic Riggs said in a wvusports.com article. “He came out with some very solid swims.” The team is hoping to carry that winning momentum into this weekend when they face off against Seton Hall University and Xavier University. In the 2017 season, the men’s team defeated Seton Hall 227-53 and Xavier 224-53, and the women took down the Pirates 217-63 and the Musketeers 198-79. Seton Hall freshmen shined at their season opener. Four different freshman won six individual events as the team defeated Montclair State University, setting two pool records. One of the records set was in the 200 medley relay with
a time of 1:34.99. The Pirates will have to shave two seconds off to defeat the Mountaineers 200 medley relay team, who touched the wall at 1:30.34 at the West Virginia State games. As for Xavier, they finished the Akron Zips Classic with only two fifth-place finishes in the two-day, three-session meet that featured Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland State, Denison and Miami University (Ohio). The action on Friday will start with diving at 4 p.m. and swimming beginning at 6 p.m. The tri-meet continues into Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. The Big 12 announced on Wednesday that freshman Nick Cover, sophomore David Dixon and senior Averly Hobbs have earned swimming and diving bi-weekly awards, according to wvusports.com
Covich discusses recruiting in colder climate BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER
GOLF Playing golf at a place like West Virginia is different than most. It’s very different from being located in places like California and Florida, where the climates are often warmer. Schools in those locations and golfers in those players have the luxury of training yearround outside and having access to courses all year. WVU and many places in a region similar to this one are not like that. The first part to head coach Sean Covich’s formula in terms of recruiting is based on where some of the recruits come from. How will they deal with the winter months? “I think it starts with the players and where do they come from?” Covich said. “I think they need to almost come from cold weather backgrounds because that’s what we’re going to have to deal with, so we’ll see some kids from Canada, some kids from Europe, some kids from Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Virginia. They’re used to that.” Other schools have found that formula and found a lot of success with that approach. Just look at Illinois, which is ranked No. 17 in the GCAA Coaches Poll. Seven of its nine golfers come from areas that encounter the rough winter months; the other two were from California and Arizona. With all of that, Illinois is a successful program, but that is not the only school Covich alludes to. Another successful program is Penn State (roughly a three-hour drive from WVU), which is technically No. 27 in the national polls due to how many votes it received. “If they’re able to do it, there’s no reason we can’t,” Covich said. “You get kids that are used to cold weather because we’re going to experience that at some point in January or February. I think you’ve got to know who you are. We’re not in the south.” In order to be one of the premier golf schools, you need to find your identity in recruiting. Some of WVU’s Big 12 counterparts — Oklahoma State and Oklahoma — definitely have. Both are ranked as the top two teams in the
country. “You just have to be able to know your niche in recruiting and know what kind of kid is going to flourish here and really love being here,” Covich said. “That kind of helps us navigate recruiting.” Covich will make exceptions, though. If a golfer is a true fit and can benefit the program, why wouldn’t you take them? Five of WVU’s eight golfers come from states with colder weather. One is from Australia. One is from Georgia. Another is from North Carolina. It’s better in most instances for someone to be accustomed to West Virginia’s weather and has grown up in something similar, but in the end, Covich wants whoever fits best. “It’s based on the kid,” Covich said. “You’ve just got to be honest with them like, ‘Hey, here’s who we are, here’s where we’re located and these are the pros and cons of our program.’ I think they’ll just kind of figure it out. Honestly, if a kid’s from Texas or he’s from Montreal, it doesn’t matter to me. If he wants to be here and can help us, then we’ll get him here.”

VOLLEYBALL The West Virginia University volleyball team hits the road this week to face off against TCU on Thursday and Oklahoma on Saturday. The team is coming off a tough loss against Baylor. The Mountaineers (910, 1-5 Big 12) were up 2-1 in the match and feeling a sweep until the third set. They were unable to pull the win out and Baylor took the match 3-2. Junior outside hitter Katelyn Evans hit a season-high 21 points in the match against Baylor. For Evans, this loss was especially tough. “That was tough for me, it was tough for everyone,” Evans said. “In the first two sets, the third set and about half of the fifth, we did really good things. We were
forcing them to hit shots they didn’t want to hit, so they were making more errors. There were shimmers of greatness.” One of the biggest issues the team faces is closing out matches. This was the second match of the season they were up by two sets and dropped the match in the third set. Freshman outside hitter Kristin Lux said they need to keep their winning momentum throughoutthe match “A lot of it is just the fight to finish,” Lux said. “The first couple of sets we had them and we were playing so well together, we just kind of gave up the end.” TCU is fifth in the Big 12 and Oklahoma is sixth. Evans said it doesn’t matter who they’re facing off against, they always have to be ready to bring the hits. “Anyone can beat you, whether it’s the last place team or the first place team, we always have to come with it, their record isn’t really a
question,” Evans said. The Mountaineers are bringing some of the confidence from their non-conference sweep against George Washington University with them on the road trip. That was their fifth sweep of the season. “I definitely think [the win] was a boost. Even though it wasn’t a conference game, that was going to determine the direction we went no matter how big the game was, we needed to win that to put ourselves in the right direction,” Lux said. WVU is meeting against TCU for the 13th time. They have played against each other 12 times since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12. In Fort Worth, Texas, the Mountaineers will face off against TCU at 8 p.m. on Thursday and then they’ll head up Interstate 35 to Norman, Oklahoma for their first meeting of the season against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
