College GameDay visits Morgantown by jacob bojesson & summer ratcliff da staff @dailyathenaeum

Since ESPN made the announcement last Sunday that West Virginia University would host College GameDay, a lot has happened.

The iconic College GameDay bus swept into Morgantown Wednesday with a large crew operating the spectacle that millions of people wake up to every Saturday.

The analysts on the show were happy to be back after three years and felt an excitement in the air above what they usually see.

“The people you can tell are jacked up excited,” said College GameDay Analyst David Pollack. “The commitment to the day before, two

days before. The music and the atmosphere was pretty sweet.”

Pollack’s only complaint was the November weather in Morgantown, which differs a lot from the usual southern SEC locations of GameDay. “I don’t do cold. I’m from Georgia,” Pollack said.

The Tent City hysteria that started with a group of students’ idea to camp out for front row spots in the GameDay pit area didn’t go unnoticed by the analysts.

Although they said many schools they visit have students camping out days in advance, what they saw on the Mountainlair Plaza was beyond their usual first impression of a college campus.

“It was interesting to come out here yesterday and see all the tents set up,”

said College GameDay Analyst Desmond Howard. “Obviously, I’m on Twitter so I read and saw the tweets so it wasn’t a big surprise but when you see it it’s pretty

School spirit inspired Tent City by jennifer skinner staff writer @dailyathenaeum

by rachel mcbride

Tent City, the new West Virginia University phenomenon sparked by ESPN’s College GameDay coming to Morgantown last week, inspired campus-wide school spirit and football team loyalty despite the team’s loss Saturday evening to Texas Christian University.

“Even though we lost, we still showed the nation that we have the best students in the country,” @WVU_TentCity tweeted yesterday morning about the unique abundance of school spirit at WVU. All day long Friday at the Mountainlair Plaza, students kept up an unmatched level of excitement for the following day’s football festivities by attracting attention to their sportsmanship.

WVU football head coach Dana Holgorsen made a special guest appearance Friday afternoon as he walked through Tent City and handed out free pizzas.

Players hung out in Tent City all week to prepare for the big game.

“It’s awesome. This is good stuff,” Holgorsen said.

In addition to stirring excitement by being in Tent

City, Holgorsen also gave students the opportunity to take selfies with him.

“I like that he’s getting involved with the students who have been camping out all week for the football team,” said Calvin Parmiter, a freshman biochemistry student who had a spot in Tent City for the whole week and snapped a selfie with Holgorsen.

Billie Murray, a freshman psychology student, also took her picture with the respected

coach.

“I appreciate that a lot because I feel like his first couple years here, he wasn’t seen a lot in the Mountaineer community, but him coming here and goofing off with the students incorporates him more with us,” she said.

Many students thought the hype produced by Tent City worked effectively with the school spirit of Mountaineer Week to create seven days of exhilaration across campus.

Second consecutive racing title for WVU student by jennifer skinner staff writer @dailyathenaeum

When he isn’t traveling to raceways or winning his series, Travis Braden is speeding through his classes.

Braden, a junior mechanical and aerospace engineering student, races cars in the Automobile Racing Club of America and was named NASCAR’s Whelen All-American National Rookie of the Year in 2011.

Most recently at Winchester Speedway in Indiana, Braden won his series championship for the second year in a row.

“When (national drivers) come back and race against you and you can compete against them, it opens the eyes of people watching who say, ‘Hey, this kid can race,’” Braden said. “It was a pretty big day in my career to compete at that caliber.”

Braden said he could have chosen to go closer to his track and car in Columbus, Ohio, but the Wheeling, W.Va., native decided to pursue engineering at West Virginia University. “(Engineering) will help me be a driver and stay involved in racing. Being a student at this school

and a West Virginia native, so many people want to support me,” Braden said. “Academically and as a driver, it was a great decision.”

Not only has he received the support of the University, Braden’s car has the WVU logo, the “flying WV,” on it.

“It’s a great thing for me to have on the car. It brings attention to me and to the University. It has started to open up eyes where corporate-level sponsorships want to be involved with,” Braden said. “It’s an image that this kid already has a University and state behind him.”

In his series, racecar drivers are not typically students because “they don’t have time to make their racing career successful as well as their school work,” according to Braden, who must delegate his time wisely as a student and a racer.

“I like to go and work on my cars and do what needs to get done (at the shop), but I like to spend time on homework,” he said.

“Weekends I have off are spent in the books and doing school-work.”

Those off weekends do not come frequently, however, with about 20 races a year, Braden’s racing sea-

son stretches from the end of March to late October and sometimes includes races every weekend. He spends the summer working on his car in Ohio so that it does not require as much maintenance during the school year.

“A lot of the races we run are on Saturdays, and we get there at least a day before the race to practice all day. Sometimes we do two days, and I miss two days of school,” Braden said.

“Sometimes it’s tough, and you do get behind, but I try to be ahead.”

Unlike many famous drivers who have been surrounded by racing their entire lives, Braden grew up on a farm without any connection to racing.

“I never really dreamed it’d go where it’s gone. Every step on the way I’ve taken, I’ve become a champion at that level,” Braden said.

He was initially interested in four-wheelers, but his parents bought him a go-kart for its safety benefits. Since then, he has grown to race full-size super late model stock cars.

“As I got older, the cars got bigger and the races got bigger,” he said.

WVU News journalism professor engaged on air alexa mcclennen correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s WVU News professor Gina Dahlia got the surprise of a lifetime when her now-fiancé Jimmy Francis proposed to her during last Wednesday’s newscast with help from her students and news crew.

With just two days notice, Francis, a professional fireman from Wheeling, W.Va., enlisted the help from her teaching assistant, graduate assistant, web producer and students from her three

Another thing that didn’t go unnoticed for the analysts were the riots that took place after the upset victory over then-No. 4 Baylor two weeks ago.

GameDay host Chris Fowler said Tent City shows the rest of the nation that WVU students are passionate about their team, but not necessarily in the violent way they are often portrayed.

“To see this army of tent people that have been here since Sunday – that’s not the norm,” Fowler said. “That’s not what we see every week so it’s very flattering. It’s more of a comment of what I think about their program wanting to put it in a positive light.”

College GameDay visited WVU for the first time in 2011 when the LSU Tigers beat the Mountaineers in a non-conference matchup.

news-broadcasting classes to help pull off the surprise.

The plan was to rile up Dahlia, who is known for her intense yet incredibly passionate personality that reflects in her teaching style, by having the news anchors purposefully mess up causing her to storm out of the control room where her fiancé would be waiting.

“He knows me very well and he knows I have a gobig-or-go-home attitude and he knew my most favorite place in the world to be is at the TV studio at the Waterfront with my students. I love my job, and I “Great memories. That hill side with a bunch of people wearing gold, people hanging off the balconies of the buildings that were up the hill,” Fowler said. “It was a very memorable scene.

When you come someplace for the first time you’re not sure what to expect. I’ve been here for games in the past but it was the first time for GameDay and it was a very flattering (and) fun turnout.”

Plenty has happened since then. The Big East is now a part of history and shortly after the LSU game, WVU announced its switch to the Big 12.

Before this season, a WVU-TCU GameDay seemed highly unlikely, but the analysts said it shows the positive side of College Football.

“What I remember was the confusion of where West Virginia was going to land, which conference they were going to be in, there were lots of signs about that. Now we’re back and your landscape is secure and it’s fun,” Fowler said.

love my students and that’s where I feel most at home,” Dahlia said. “He created a memory for us that will last a lifetime.”

The proposal went off without a hitch, like her students predicted. Dahlia stormed out of the control room to yell at her anchors for messing up and did not even notice her fiancé and students at first. Francis stood there dressed in his blue uniform holding twodozen white roses.

“He got down on one knee and said, ‘I love you,’ then looked down and started crying and he couldn’t get out, ‘Will you “You want people from all regions engaged. Year one of the playoffs you’d like to have a dozen games down the stretch every Saturday impacting the chase.”

While it was all fun and games for the students, the analysts had their hands full getting ready for the show. They spent their time reading up on the Saturday games and didn’t have time to check out the Morgantown area.

“You guys get to see the glamorous part of it but for us it’s work,” Howard said.

Commenting on the progress WVU has made since last season, Pollack admitted that he didn’t expect to see the Mountaineers as a Big 12 contender.

“Kevin White, that freak show came out of nowhere,” he said.

A memorable week at WVU ended rather anticlimactically, but the memories will surely live on for years to come for the students, and even the analysts. carl.bojesson@mail.wvu.edu

marry me?’ so I gave him a couple seconds but I could tell he wasn’t going to get it out, so I grabbed his face and said yes,” Dahlia said.

Her fiancé credits her students and WVU News crew for helping him pull off the surprise perfectly.

“They played a huge role, they know Gina so well they were the best people to ask. I couldn’t have done it without their help,” Francis said.

The group of students and crew worked together in the short amount of time and sent mass texts to let everyone in on the surprise.

Dahlia, who maintains

a close relationship with all of her students, had no idea what her students and fiancé were planning and was completely surprised.

“I don’t think you’ll find any other teacher who is more passionate, more caring, who is motivated and loves what she’s doing more than professor Dahlia,” said Tyler Channell, Dahlia’s graduate assistant. “Even though she screams at us like crazy sometimes, she’s a great person who deserves the best.”

Dahlia, who was previously married, is currently writing a book about her personal life experiences.

In the book, she hopes to empower and teach women that even at age 40 it is okay to start over and find yourself again; fear is the only thing that gets in the way.

Dahlia said she believes she now knows what true happiness is after finding her soul mate later on in life.

“At the end of the day, Jimmy isn’t only an amazing person, but I am so lucky to have students who within a two day notice jumped to the challenge and created a lifetime memory for the both of us.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

In order to prepare for the conferences held each year, MUN researches heavily for the countries they have been assigned. All preparation is done in order to ensure the club performs at its highest ability when it attends conferences. All of the hard work is

considered valuable experience. This experience helps the members act as delegates and ambassadors, as members of the official United Nations would.

“I couldn’t be more glad I did it,” Cowgill said.

At the competition, students speak about foreign policy issues publically before their peers, gain practice in writing foreign policy documents and memorable social benefits from the competition.

According to Cowgill, this is the most important aspect of them all.

Crime thriller, horror movies tie

comingsoon.net

NEW YORK (AP) — In a scary close finish, the Jake Gyllenhaal crime thriller “Nightcrawler” and the board-game adaptation “Ouija” tied for first at the box office with $10.9 million each over the Halloween weekend That was according to estimates Sunday from each film’s distributor. Studios can predict a film’s Sunday performance with fairly accurate precision. When final figures are announced Monday, one film will likely slightly edge out the other.

For Open Road’s low-budget Los Angeles noir “Nightcrawler,” it was a strong debut considering its creepy, unconventional protagonist. Gyllenhaal plays an ambulance-chasing man who shoots gory footage for the local news.

The independent, R-rated film was able to capitalize on a weekend the studios were frightened away from. With Halloween falling on a Friday, trick-or-treating cannibalized one of the most lucrative moviegoing nights of the week. Grosses were down 40 percent Friday from the same weekend a year ago, according to box-office tracker Rentrak.

“Most studios know when Halloween falls on a Friday, usually they’re not good days,” said Universal’s distribution head, Nikki Rocco.

“People party. It’s a holiday, and it’s not a moviegoing

holiday.”

Open Road’s estimate for “Nightcrawler” was technically $8,760 above Universal’s number for “Ouija.” But that tiny margin may not hold up when receipts from Sunday are counted. Other studios had “Ouija” as narrowly edging “Nightcrawler.”

“We’ve seen squeakers over the years but this is one of the closest ones I’ve ever seen,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. “It’s a testament to the holding power of `Ouija.’”

Despite the Halloween night impact, “Ouija” dropped only 45 percent after topping the box office last weekend. That’s unusually low for a micro-budget horror film, most of which see interest wane considerably after opening. But Universal opened the horror film a weekend ahead of Halloween to give it a two-week window.

The close contest added drama to one of the quietest movie weekends of the year.

Overall business was down 25 percent from the prior year. Said Dergarabedian: “The scariest thing about this weekend was that Halloween fell on a Friday.”

Next weekend will be a far different story, though, with the highly anticipated release of Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic “Interstellar,” as well as Disney’s animated superhero film “Big Hero 6.”

In the meantime, the Brad Pitt World War II tale “Fury” held in third place with $9.1 million in its third week of release. In its fifth week, the Ben Affleck thriller “Gone Girl” also remained in fourth with an additional $8.8 million to its $136.6 million cumulative total to make it the highest grossing release of director David Fincher’s career.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

Usher’s son disses daddy’s vocals NEW YORK (AP) — One of Usher’s sons studies his dance moves meticulously, while the other has said to the Grammy-winning star: “You’re not a great singer.”

Usher says his son Nayvid Ely Raymond, who turns 6 in December, isn’t impressed with the multiplatinum singer.

“He doesn’t care about what I do as much. ... He’s like, `I’m the star. Who are you? You sing?’” Usher said in a recent interview.

“He told me the other day, he says, `You’re not a great singer,’” Usher, 36, continued with a laugh.

His reply to his son: “What? I’m a great singer!”

Usher said his son named after him, who turns 7 next month, has taken to his father’s dance talents.

“When seeing me perform on tour in the past ... and most of the time it’s past his bedtime, but he’s just sitting there studying every move, every second, like laser focus,” he said of Usher Raymond V. “And then I’ll see him off by himself doing the moves.”

Usher will showcase his sharp choreography on his UR Experience World Tour, which kicks off Saturday in Montreal.

He said the tour was influenced by live shows he’s seen from U2, Bruce Springsteen and Frankie Beverly.

“There’s this connection and that is what gave the inspiration for this show,” he said of the veteran acts.

Jazz musician dead at 85 LONDON (AP) — English clarinet player Acker Bilk, who beat the Beatles and other British rockers to the top of the U.S. music charts with the instrumental “Stranger on the Shore,” has died at the age of 85.

Manager Pamela Sutton said Bilk died Sunday at a hospital in Bath, southwestern England.

The cause of death was not announced.

Born Bernard Stanley Bilk in 1929 in the southwestern English county of Somerset, Bilk adopted the name Acker from a local slang term for friend.

He learned the clarinet as a bored army conscript, stationed in Egypt after World War II, and became one of the stars of Britain’s 1950s “trad

jazz” scene.

Before the British rock invasion, he was the first U.K act to top the Billboard music chart in the 1960s, with “Stranger on the Shore.” The wistful 1961 instrumental also spent more than a year in the British charts and became his signature tune.

He was on the select list of artists who have been played in space.

Along with tracks by Frank Sinatra, the Kingston Trio and others, three of Bilk’s tunes were included on a cassette that accompanied the Apollo 10 astronauts on their mission around the moon in 1969.

Bilk attributed his distinctive vibrato sound to a pair of childhood acci-

dents. He lost part of a finger in a sledding accident, and two teeth in fight at school.

His smooth signature style became an instantly recognizable sound for millions of listeners, and his goatee, garish waistcoat and bowler hat helped cement his image.

He remained a television regular with a large and loyal following long after jazz was displaced from the charts by rock `n’ roll.

Bilk, who was treated for throat cancer around the turn of the millennium, was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 2001 for services to music.

He is survived by his wife, Jean, and their son and daughter.

Frontman of Static-X dead

Wayne Static died on Saturday. The location and cause of death have yet to be released.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wayne Static, the frontman for the metal band Static-X, has died at age 48.

Morgan Renken, who worked with Static and the band for 15 years, says Static died Saturday. She declined to give the location or the

cause of the death.

Static was the lead vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist for Static-X, whose "Wisconsin Death Trip" went platinum.

He also released a solo album, "Pighammer," in 2011.

Renken says Static was set to begin a monthlong U.S.

tour Monday and he planned to play in Russia and England next year.

Static was a native of Muskegon, Michigan, and lived outside of Joshua Tree, California. He is survived by his wife, adult film actress Tera Wray.

Student voting: Too little, too late By now, you know about the midterm elections happening Tuesday. If you don’t, you probably don’t follow enough celebrities on Twitter who tell us to “Rock the vote.”

The Daily Athenaeum agrees with the message that everyone should have the power to vote. However, it is too late now for most students when it comes to the midterm elections.

It is too late to try and become an informed voter.

It is too late to evaluate all of the pros and cons of each candidate up for election. It is too late to get an absentee ballot for your home state or county. For students who haven’t been actively following the campaigns, it is just plain too late.

While everyone should have the power to vote, we must do so responsibly. A responsible voter is

an informed voter. Being informed does not mean knowing the life history of each candidate. But, voters should know every candidate’s stance on issues important to you and your state as a whole.

As it is your job to be an informed voter, it is our job as a news outlet to keep you informed. On the latter part, The Daily Athenaeum has dropped the ball. We have had little coverage beyond covering

sayanythingblog.com

events where candidates have spoken. As a news outlet, we need to let our readers know where future officials stand on issues directly related to students of West Virginia University.

How do they feel about

higher education and its affordability? The coal industry’s connection to future economic success?

These are things relevant to our readers who have an investment in WVU and the state of West Virginia, which has a deep rooted history in the coal industry.

Together, is it is our hope that we are all able to live up to our responsibilities. As a source of information, we will strive to give our readers accurate and important voting information. As citizens, we should all strive to seek out that information and be sure we are informed.

From there, perform your civic duty.

It’s too late during the election process for any of us to change this, but we hope that maybe you’ll try.

There is always the next elections. We will strive to provide more informa-

tion in the future. But until then, there are other places you can go to find information.

Each candidate will have their own website, as well as profiles on multiple social media websites dedicated to their campaigns and the issues they stand on. However, just listening to what the candidates tell you won’t give you all the information you need. Search for unbiased sources to give you more information on what they have done and what they plan on doing. Look, the information is out there.

We want you to vote, but only if you are doing so informed.

We are told our vote represents our voice. To vote without knowledge is to parrot political propaganda. Don’t let your voice become mimicry. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

The case against breastfeeding on social media Molly Robinson columnist @dailyathenaeum

Now that October’s over, I thought any and all breastrelated propaganda would be over as well.

It’s not that I’m not a big fan of promoting awareness, yearly mammograms or increasing donations to things like the Susan G Komen Foundation. Sometimes these advertisements seem a little awkward to me, like “save the tatas” or “protect second base.” I appreciate the message at its core, but it also lends a cast of sophomoric humor to something that is anything but a joke.

So, naturally, I was happy to see Breast Cancer Awareness Month turn over into No-Shave November, mainly because I was tired of internally cringing at the incredibly intimate and often off-color jokes regarding women’s breasts.

But alas, there seems

to be no escaping breasts.

It seems that pictures of women breastfeeding their infants are causing quite a stir in the Facebook world.

Some of these photos are being removed by Facebook mediators for being too “explicit.”

Naturally women’s rights groups, moms and other liberalists are crying out against this sexualization of a woman’s body, proclaiming breastfeeding a natural process and that there is nothing inherently sexual about a woman posting a picture of her breastfeeding her child to a social media website.

Many may misconstrue this article as a waylaid attempt to promote formulafed babies, or that I am slut shaming women who choose to breastfeed their children. Let me say up front that neither of these are the case.

I am not a mother. I am a college girl with a healthy body image who thinks all

gizmodo.com

bodies are beautiful. I am a strong proponent of loving yourself and the “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” mantra – but only if you’re into that.

There is nothing about me that thinks these women were trying to be sexual in their pictures, because

breastfeeding to me is not all that sexy.

The real issue is the idea of indecent exposure. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the idea that there are “good” and “bad” nipples in this world. Men are free to walk around shirt-

less while women are expected to remain covered up, even if they are subscribing to the natural process of breastfeeding.

While breastfeeding is a natural thing to do, us humans have quite an array of “natural processes” in which we partake. Sure, we eat, we drink and we sleep. There are other natural things many of us wouldn’t feel comfortable posting a picture of on Facebook, such as going to the restroom or having sex.

So the argument of “but that’s what nipples are for,” is not quite as straightforward as one might think in relation to the breastfeeding issue. Breasts serve a variety of functions, and while breastfeeding is one of them, our culture also sees them as a beautiful and sexy part of the female form, often relating directly to sex.

I don’t want to see photos of breastfeeding on Facebook, just like I don’t want to see pictures of other gen-

italia doing similarly natural things, like using the restroom or having intercourse.

There is nothing wrong with these processes. There isn’t even anything sexual about using the restroom, much like there is nothing “naughty” about breastfeeding. But they are all examples of indecent exposure when they are posted on Facebook or performed in public.

I’m not undermining the beauty of some of these behaviors; breastfeeding is a wonderful bonding experience between mother and child, and sex is a likewise bonding experience between partners. These are natural and wonderful things that, admittedly, should not be as taboo as they are in this day and age.

But some of these wondrous things are meant to occur between the participants, not your entire Facebook friends list. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Energy drinks detrimental to health, US should have restrictions

cubiclane.com

Marshall amores columnist @dailyathenaeum

Advertisements maintain the illusion of wisdom much like sitcoms. In sitcoms, there is usually a beginning, middle and end. The laugh track plays as the credits begin to roll. Commercials are more condensed because they lack air time.

Commercials are straight to the point. A commercial doesn’t have to orchestrate an ending. That part is left up to you.

While Red Bull is busy telling the world how it will give you wings, Lithuania has adopted an obstinate stance on the Australian company and others traveling in the wake of the

DA

energy drink revolution.

Lithuania has banned beverages containing over 150 milligrams per liter of caffeine and other stimulants such as guarana, ginsenosides, glucuronolactone and taurine.

“It is important to public health, even though a bit of disruption to business,” said Alma Monkauskaite, a member of the Lithuanian parliament.

Officials in Lithuania believe higher intakes of caffeine in youth may lead to addiction, hyperactivity and drug use.

This is a bold move by Lithuanian officials, but it would be wrong to say I do not completely disagree with the decision. Energy drinks have given rise to a new international business.

As good as this may be for the world of commerce, there are certain issues that energy drinks have yet to assuage.

Health professionals have stated the limit of caffeine a person should have in one day is 400 milligrams. Anymore and you are susceptible to heart palpitations, high blood pressure, dizziness, irritability and nausea.

Increased consumption of energy drinks leaves individuals at risk for diabetes, tooth decay and many other health concerns.

However, the restlessness, dehydration, increased heartbeat and insomnia, which can arise from overdoing energy drinks, does not necessarily result from drinking too many of them. Tolerance

varies between individuals. For instance, after just one Red Bull I start to really notice the pulse in my neck hammering like a marching band drum. One more and my leg starts twitching.

I don’t think energy drinks should be completely outlawed, but their availability has to be curtailed in some way. You may say that coffee contains the same amount of caffeine as an eight ounce can of Red Bull, but does coffee have the rest of the sugar or chemicals found in a Rockstar or Monster? No. Even worse, energy drink companies offer gigantic cans such as the 24 fluid ounce Mega Monster which contains 240 milligrams of caffeine. Companies provide a sizeable way to bypass

health recommendations.

These drinks are addictive and can really taste amazing. This combination leaves drinkers wanting to have more than just the advertised serving size because it just tastes too good. A slippery slope lined with excessive energy drink consumption is inevitable. I mean, let’s be honest who buys a can or bottled drink without the intention to finish it. If it tastes good, why not have another?

I know by the shaking of my fingers, I cannot chug an obscene amount of energy drinks in one day. Not everyone has a similar willpower or notion of what they put into their bodies and how much. Energy drinks should not be as prevalent as they

are. They can easily get into the wrong hands and create serious health problems. I am asking for gastrointestinal activism unlike the man who recently robbed a slew of Alabama Subways because he came to terms with the fact that the “Jared Diet” was not completely foolproof. Instead, I think we should simply drink less of this liquid courage.

Save it for when it is really necessary. Deny exposure of these drinks to children so they do not get used to drinking them from a young age. Until the day a completely healthful solution is found to lethargy, I suggest we reconsider the wings we are promised on afternoon TV commercials. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer Idol

Alexa Gonzalez crowned winner

By Nicole Curtin

1st Place

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Senior Alexa Gonzalez was crowned the champion of Mountaineer Idol last night. Her performances were “Man’s world” by James Brown and and “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cook.

This was her second year competing and she took home the grand prize of $1,000.

2nd Place Freshman Elizabeth Keim took second place in this year’s Mountaineer Idol competition.

Her renditions of “Born to Fly” by Sarah Evans and “Manhattan” by Sara Bareilles won her points with the judges.

Keim took home the second place prize of $750.

3rd Place Garcia competed for his third time this year in Mountaineer Idol.

He came in third place in 2011 and placed top five in 2012. This year he took home third again.

During the finale Garcia performed “Ghost” by Ella Henderson and “Multiplied” by Need to Breathe.

He took home $250.

The 11th season of Mountaineer Idol came to a close last night in the Mounainlair Ballrooms, where the top three finalists competed for the title.

Senior Alexa Gonzalez took first place as the 2014 Mountaineer Idol.

“I’m so surprised and so happy,” Gonzalez said.

“I’m taken back right now.

It’s been two long years, and I finally took home No. 1. I think I really focused this year. I plan on buying myself a nice dinner and putting that check in the bank for rent.”

Scott Link, who was the runner up for Mountaineer Idol two years ago, and Kelsey Benson, who is currently serving as Miss Morgantown, hosted the event.

Mountaineer Idol has been going on since auditions in August. Out of the 50 students who auditioned only one would be named this year’s Mountaineer Idol.

This year was the third time Patrick Garcia competed and the second for Gonzalez. In 2011, Garcia took third place, and in 2012 he was eliminated in the top-five round. He is graduating in December, so this was his last chance to compete in Mountaineer Idol.

“Ever ybody did so amazing, I’m glad I got to compete and play the guitar. That was the fun that I had,” he said. “Going all the way through, making it to the end - I’m glad I can use the talents God has given me, and this isn’t the last of me.”

Gonzalez competed in 2012 and finished in the top three. After going through six weeks of competition, including nights of Broadway, country, oldies, ‘80s and songs from their idols, the finalists were prepared to take the stage one last time this season.

The show started off with a performance from co-hosts Link and Benson performing a duet from Disney’s “Frozen.” They sang “Love is an Open Door.”

Judging the finale was Head Judge Shirley Robinson and four guest judges.

Starting when I was 11 years old, I would go online to a site called Garage Band (it no longer exists) and find random bands. I’d judge whether or not I thought they would become famous in the future. If I thought they would, I would choose one song to download.

That’s what I did with a Minnesota-based band formerly known as Allies in Chaos.

I thought they would make it big. I particularly liked a song called, ‘Your Window,’ which I downloaded and listend to on repeat.

That was in 2005.

I lost the CD I burned the song on in 2007 when I moved. I forgot about the song for a while.

A few years later, I thought of the lyrics one day. They just hit me out of no where: “If I could break one pane of glass, I would break your window. Stop myself from looking at a world I cannot have to stop myself from saying things aren’t so bad.”

I immediately went online to find the song, but it was absolutely no where to be found, and Garage Band was discontinued.

Recently, I took up the

facebook.com/jacobchamplinandthebluejays

search again. I looked at bands and pages related to Allies in Chaos. A guitarist and vocalist named Jacob Champlin was connected to YouTube videos of the band and his name was mentioned on an obscure forum website on a post from 2008.

When I searched for him, a band called cathy Crescendo, which was also mentioned on Allies’ MySpace page, showed up. I messaged cathy Cre-

scendo through Facebook and explained how that song was stuck in my head and I needed to hear it again. I asked them, if any of my story made sense, could they help me find the song?

Champlin messaged me back. It turns out, he sang for both Allies in Chaos and cathy Crescendo. The week before I contacted him, he found the remaining CDs containing “Your Window,” and he will be mailing a copy to me.

I can’t wait to get that CD in the mail and hear the song that’s been stuck in my head for so long. I was worried I would never hear it again, and how annoying would it be to be able to hear a song that used to exist, but never hear its true sound again?

Champlin has a new group called Jacob Champlin and the Blue Jays. The band’s first show was Oct. 25. While Allies in Chaos was more angsty and driven, the new group has a more folk sound. But, it’s almost 10 years later, and it’s still great music. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

GIVE IT AWAY NOW

Kenneth Redillas/the daily athenaeum

TCU players celebrate after the win in Morgantown Saturday night.

No. 20 West Virginia comes up short against No. 7 TCU, 31-30 by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After committing five turnovers and shooting itself in the foot most of the night, No. 20 West Virginia lost a heartbreaker to No. 7 TCU on a last second field goal, 31-30.

T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s were clearly the dominant team early, but were unable to fully pull away from the Horned Frogs and allowed them to hang around, which inevitably led to kicker Jaden Oberkrom’s game-winning, 37yard field goal.

“I think it was two evenly matched football teams.

Obviously they were just a little bit better than us,”

said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“I thought our defense played well. I thought special teams played well.

“I take responsibility for what happened out there offensively. It was bad.

It’s not acceptable. (It’s) not going to win football games.”

After scoring on its first three possessions of the game, West Virginia’s offense went stagnant and was unable to get much going in both the air and ground attacks.

“We didn’t run the ball very (well). I thought our running backs were extremely average. (We) did not run the ball when they put two high safeties in double cover our wide-

outs, and we can’t run the ball into a favorable box,” Holgorsen said.

Senior running back Dreamius Smith led the Mountaineers with 70 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. Running backs Wendell Smallwood and Andrew Buie also chipped in 64 and 42 rushing yards, respectively.

West Virginia’s stable of backs were unable to secure the ball most of the night, losing three fumbles in a rain-soaked environment. Quarterback Clint Trickett tossed two interceptions on errant throws, which put the defense’s backs against the wall again and again.

Despite the plethora of offensive miscues, the

Mountaineers’ defense was stellar most of the night, forcing TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin into throwing just his fourth interception of the year.

“We did some great things out there, but there’s also things that we can improve on,” said junior cornerback Terrell Chestnut, who scored a 35-yard fumble recovery in the third quarter.

After the score, momentum seemed to clearly be on West Virginia’s side, only to be outscored by TCU 17-3 down the stretch.

West Virginia’s defense held Boykin to just 166 passing yards and one touchdown, but allowed running back B.J. Cata-

lon to break loose for 105 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns.

West Virginia held TCU to 389 total yards, which is well under its season average of 585 yards per game.

The defense also once again played great thirddown defense, allowing Boykin and the Horned Frogs offense to convert on only five of 15 third downs.

As heartbreaking as the loss may seem, Chestnut said he’s confident West Virginia will bounce back next week at Texas.

“It’s just one game,” he said. “What’s going to define this team is how we bounce back.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Offensive struggles bring No. 20 West Virginia down against No. 7 TCU

WVU quarterback Clint Trickett tripped by TCU safety Derrick Kindred during the game Saturday night.

by anthony pecoraro associate sports editor @pecorarowvunews

As the saying goes, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” This was the exact case for No. 20 West Virginia Saturday.

However, when the clock hit all zeros at the end of the fourth quarter against No. 7 Texas Christian University, the Horned Frogs found themselves as the victorious ones at Milan Puskar Stadium, 31-30.

As TCU was coming off an 82-point scoring affair against Texas Tech last Saturday, the Mountaineers defense was able to hold the Horned Frogs’ offense to just a single touchdown in the first half – a season-

low for TCU in the first half – with the Mountaineer offense coming out on fire and scoring on their first three drives of the game to go into halftime with a 13-7 lead.

Throughout most of the second half, the Mountaineers found themselves in the driver’s seat, but that wouldn’t last forever.

With both teams entering the Big 12 in 2012 and the first two games between these two teams coming down to the final play of the game in 2012 and 2013, Saturday lined up directly to that script for a third time in a row.

Though West Virginia’s defense kept its pressure on Horned Frogs’ junior quar-

terback Trevone Boykin, who head coach Dana Holgorsen called the most improved player in college football earlier this week, it was the Mountaineer offense that crumbled apart when it mattered most with time winding down in the fourth quarter.

West Virginia’s offense had five turnovers, something offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said was one of the key reasons why WVU didn’t end up as winners Saturday.

“We didn’t play well enough to win, too many turnovers,” Dawson said.

“Both offenses struggled, but they didn’t turn the ball over, we did.”

Even though Holgorsen

kenneth redillas/the daily athenaeum

said he felt the matchup between WVU and TCU was an extremely even one, it was the offensive turmoil on the final few drives for the Mountaineers, along with the turnovers that setup the Horned Frog’s kicker Jaden Oberkrom to hit his sole field goal attempt of the game to send TCU back to Texas victorious, as time expired.

“I take responsibility for what happened offensively, it was bad. It’s not acceptable; it’s not going to win football games,” Holgorsen said. “We turned the ball over five times and to average what we averaged per play is completely unacceptable.”

The leader of the offense

all season has been redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett, but after having a season-low 162 passing yards, Holgorsen said toward the end of the game, everything about Trickett was not working.

“Clint (Trickett) was incredibly uncomfortable,” he said. “He was uneasy in the pocket, he got spooked. If we sat there and just tried to throw the ball, it wouldn’t have turned out very good.

“We need to do a better job of protecting the football and taking care of the football.”

The Mountaineers will hit the road to take on Texas Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST. apecorar@mail.wvu.edu

Turnovers, anemic offense prove costly What makes a conference champion? For the most part, these teams don’t beat themselves.

They win the turnover battle with consistency, stay disciplined and make you play a near-perfect game to beat them.

In a game with colossal conference championship implications, West Virginia deviated from this script and paid dearly for doing so. The Mountaineers turned the ball over five times against TCU, and the Horned Frogs capitalized with 14 points on those free possessions.

“I take responsibility for what happened offensively. It was bad. It’s not acceptable. It’s not going to win football games. We turned the ball over five times, and to average what we averaged per play is completely unacceptable,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

West Virginia’s defense held its own in this game.

The Mountaineers forced three turnovers of their own, held TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin in check for the most part and scored a touchdown on a fumble return that looked like it might be the difference in the game.

“This was the best defensive team we’ve played all year. They played great schematically, very physical and with a lot of effort.

They played very well,” said TCU head coach Gary Patterson.

In the end, West Virginia’s offense dropped the ball. Quarterback Clint Trickett was consistently bothered by TCU’s front seven, and the result was a less than efficient performance. The Mountaineer signal caller completed 15 of his 26 passes for just 162 yards, and threw two costly and confusing interceptions.

“We turned it over five times. They had something to do with that. Defensively you can luck into turnovers or force turnovers, and they did a good job of forcing turnovers. That’s no excuse. ” Holgorsen said.

“They pay me to make decisions, and offensively, I made decisions. Clint (Trickett) was incredibly uncomfortable. Their rush was good. I’ll evaluate to see if we pass protected worth a darn. He was uneasy in the pocket, he got spooked. If we sat there and just tried to throw the ball it wouldn’t have turned out very good.”

With a 27-14 lead midway through the third quarter, West Virginia had the game by the throat.

Were it not for a Houdini-like disappearing act from the West Virginia offense, the Mountaineers were on their way to another win over a top10 team in Morgantown.

After a Josh Lambert field goal pushed West Virginia’s lead to 30-21 at the start of the fourth quarter, the offense completely vanished. Take nothing away from TCU’s defense. As Holgorsen said, the Horned Frogs came up with an effective scheme that minimized Kevin White’s impact, forcing Trickett to look elsewhere for big plays.

TCU did plenty to win this game. The Horned Frogs are on an incredible roll right now. They showcased the kind of mental fortitude in crunch time that makes a conference champion. West Virginia did not, and now the Mountaineers must pick up the pieces and move on. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

West Virginia rolls Wheeling Jesuit in exhibition by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Mountaineers women’s basketball team tuned up for the regular season Friday night, defeating Division II team Wheeling Jesuit, 87-49, in its annual Haunted Hoops exhibition game.

Although the Mountaineers dominated play for most of the game and overwhelmed the visiting Cardinals with their size and athleticism, head coach Mike Carey said the team still has a lot of work to do.

“Nothing against Wheeling, give them credit, they played hard,” Carey said after the game. “They played harder than we did and were more aggressive

than we were. I (have to) find a lot of answers.”

The Mountaineers were led by junior guard Bria Holmes, the Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year, who scored 22 points despite going only 1-9 from threepoint range.

“I can’t even lie, I was nervous,” Holmes said.

“It’s just a lesson learned, just pick myself up. I can’t get down on this team, I have to pick everybody else up. I’m the captain now, so I can’t be down when I’m missing shots.”

The Mountaineers did not have a great shooting night as a unit – just 24 percent from beyond the arc and 42 percent overall – but they were able to control the game on the boards, outrebounding Wheeling Jesuit 58-31. Senior Averee Fields led the

team with 10 rebounds, while Holmes and sophomore center Lanay Montgomery each checked in with nine a piece.

Wheeling Jesuit was able to keep the game close at times in the early goings, while the Mountaineers struggled to figure themselves out offensively, but West Virginia grabbed a 34-16 lead at halftime, and a 23-4 run to start the second half put the game away.

Much of Wheeling Jesuit’s offense came from behind the arc, with 24 of its 49 points coming on threepointers. Freshman guard Mariah Callen, a Morgantown native, led the Cardinals with 18 points.

West Virginia kept the pressure on defensively, harrying the Cardinals into 28 turnovers – Holmes and

senior point guard Linda Stepney each recorded five steals. The Mountaineers were able to turn those opportunities into points, outscoring Wheeling Jesuit 16-0 on the fast break.

While the outside shot remained elusive for the balance of the game, the Mountaineers were able to create their best offense attacking the basket. Stepney was aggressive throughout the game, scoring 12 points, and freshman Teana Muldrow scored 14 points.

Before the game, the Mountaineers raised banners for their 2013-14 Big 12 regular season championship and their NCAA Tournament appearance.

In addition, WVU athletic director Oliver Luck presented the players from last year’s team with Big 12

MEN’S SOCCER

Mountaineers win fourth-straight, 3-0 over Buffalo by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The win streak is still intact for the West Virginia men’s soccer team.

In dominating fashion, the team defeated conference foe Buffalo 3-0 Saturday afternoon.

On a cold and wet Saturday, the Mountaineers honored their seniors and sent them out in style.

Senior forward Andy Bevin scored his first career hat trick and senior goalkeeper Lee Johnston pitched a shutout to lead the Mountaineers to their 10th victory of the season.

The Mountaineers improve to 10-6-1 and move up to second place in the MAC with their win over the Bulls Saturday.

There was no hiding the

Mountaineers’ game plan Saturday. They wanted to strike early and strike often.

Early in the first half, Jamie Merriam’s shot went just high over the cross bar.

Shortly after, the Mountaineers had a break away opportunity, but could not finish.

Early misses certainly did not slow down their offense. Andy Bevin took a shot that missed in the 13th minute, but he came back with a vengeance just five minutes later. Joey Piatczyc found Bevin at the top of the box. Bevin reared back and sent in a bending goal to give the Mountaineers a 1-0 lead.

After two more close scoring opportunities, the Mountaineers delivered one of their most brilliant plays of the season in the 39th minute of play. Zak

Leedom sent a backwards heel pass to a streaking Bevin who delivered his second goal of the game.

No matter how good the second goal was, the scoring was not over.

In the 44th minute, Merriam found Bevin, who hit the lower left corner, sealing his first career hat trick and putting the Mountaineers up 3-0 heading into the half.

West Virginia was more reserved in the second half, playing with a threegoal lead. The Mountaineers only totaled two shots in the second half. Even with their big lead, there was still time for Johnston to make an impressive play.

In the 81st minute, Johnston made his only save of the game on a diving stop.

The Bulls failed to score in the game and the Moun-

taineers routed them 3-0 in a convincing MAC victory.

Bevin couldn’t hide his joy after the matchup.

The hat trick was his first at West Virginia and put him in a tie for third for the most goals in the nation with 12.

“You couldn’t have written any better really, it’s awesome,” Bevin said with a grin on face.

The Mountaineers will conclude the season in a big way Saturday. The team will travel to Western Michigan to take on the Broncos at 1 p.m. The game holds major implications in the MAC. The opposing teams sit at No. 2 and 3 in the conference, and a win and an Akron loss could put them in position to host the MAC Championship. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU SPORTS BRIEFS

Women’s soccer tops Baylor 2-0 Friday West Virginia places second at WVU SPORTS INFO

Submitted to the Daily Athenaeum @WVUWOMENSSOCCER

The seniors of the No. 8-ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team earned a win in their final career regular-season game on the strength of a freshman’s leg, as forward Michaela Abam’s two goals helped the Mountaineers defeat Baylor, 2-0, Friday in wet, cold conditions at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The victory pushes the Big 12 Conference champion Mountaineers’ (14-22, 7-0-1) unbeaten streak to 15 matches, three short of tying the program record. WVU has not dropped a home conference match since the 2009 season, and tonight’s win puts the team’s streak at 26 matches.

“We have such a hardworking team this year; there are a lot of athletes that want to achieve great things on this squad,” said Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

“This is a great bunch that doesn’t want to stop here.”

WVU has now earned seven wins in each of its three seasons in Big 12 play and owns an overall record of 21-1-2.

Tonight was the final regular-season home match for midfielder Ali Connelly, de-

fender Jess Crowder, goalkeeper Katie Osterman and forward Kate Schwindel.

Though Abam’s goals helped deliver WVU’s win, it was the Mountaineers’ stout defensive effort that solidified the victory, as the squad denied BU a shot for the final 71 minutes. WVU finished with a 25-3 edge in shots and placed seven on frame. After allowing a Bear corner kick in the 19th minute, the first of the game, the Mountaineers denied their opponent a second chance and finished with an 8-1 edge.

“Baylor is always a tough team to beat,” said IzzoBrown. “They were really playing a high back line; they tried to keep us compact. We wanted to open them up a bit in the second half, and I thought the girls did a great job of breaking their traps.

This team showed pure will tonight. They created both goals, and this was a great win for them.

“To hold a team without a shot in the final 71 minutes – that just shows how much this team wanted this win for the seniors. Eliminating shots eliminates goals, and that means shutouts and wins.”

Knotted at 0-0 after the first 45 minutes, the Mountaineers came out of the locker room attacking, tak-

ing three shots and earning three corners in the first five minutes. With the ball in the 52nd minute, Abam made sure the team’s fourth shot of the half counted, as she put a pretty flick from just outside the six away from the reach of Kloss’ hands toward the near corner. The score came off a beautiful cross from Crowder, her fifth helper of the year.

“Baylor is a hard team, and coming out of the first half without a goal, we knew we needed to get an early score in the second half,” Crowder said. “I was happy to be able to get Michaela that goal.”

Abam added an insurance goal in the 86th minute, corralling a bouncing ball from junior forward Kelsie Maloney in front of the net and putting a blast on frame that went through Kloss’ hands for the score. Kloss’ miscue set up the goal, as she initially came off her line to punch the ball away from a streaking Abam inside the box. Maloney pounced and bent her pass back into Abam around a BU defender.

With the No. 1 seed locked up, the Mountaineers now turn their attention to the 2014 Big 12 Soccer Tournament. Play opens this Wednesday, Nov. 5, at Swope Soccer Village, in Kansas City, Missouri.

Big 12 Championships WVU SPORTS INFO

SUBMITTED TO THE DAILY ATHENAEUM @WVUCROSSCOUNTRY

Behind a top-five finish from senior Kaitlyn Gillespie, the No. 9 West Virginia University cross country team placed second, Saturday, at the 2014 Big 12 Cross Country Championship in Lawrence, Kansas.

No. 6 Iowa State placed first with a team score of 29, while West Virginia finished second with a team mark of 58.

“We will walk away from this meet with mixed emotions. Losing to a team that has the ability to win the national championship is nothing to be discouraged with,” said coach Sean Cleary. “We will take second and go home to continue preparing for the NCAA Championships.”

Today marked the second straight year West Virginia finished second in the conference. Gillespie led the way for the Mountaineers, finishing the 6k course in 20:18.1 to place fifth overall.

Redshirt freshman Maggie Drazba, a St. Mary’s, West Virginia, native, placed eighth overall in 20:40.1. Sophomore Jillian Forsey placed 12th overall in 20:54.9, earning Big 12 All-Conference honors,

“We had a few girls a little off their game for various reasons, and they will surely be much better as we go forward,” Cleary said. “What

makes me proud and excited is that we had a number of girls have huge improvements today, providing the type of depth required in the championship meets. We will enjoy this briefly before refocusing.”

AP

Cleveland holds off Tampa Bay 22-17 Sunday CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns ended the “easy” part of their schedule with another hard-fought win.

Brian Hoyer threw a 34yard TD pass to Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining, helping Cleveland complete a favorable threegame stretch with a 22-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer completed his second TD pass. Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. He improved to 8-3 as Cleveland’s starter.

The Browns (5-3) have

their best record at the midway point since 2007, when they won 10 and barely missed the playoffs.

Cleveland went 2-1 the past three weeks against Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay, who entered a combined 2-19.

Tampa Bay’s Mike Glennon threw a pair of 24yard TDs to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (1-7), who have lost four in a row and five this season by six points or less.

Billy Cundiff kicked three field goals for the improved Browns, who have won four of five under first-year coach Mike

Pettine.

Tampa Bay had a chance in the final two minutes, but couldn’t convert on a 4th-and-11 with 1:45 left. The Bucs appeared to pick up a first down on the previous play, but Evans was called for pass interference.

The Browns didn’t put the Bucs away until late as Cleveland nearly got caught looking ahead to a Thursday night matchup with AFC North rival Cincinnati.

Hoyer’s TD pass to Gabriel was set up by Cleveland linebacker Craig Robertson, who broke through

and deflected a Tampa Bay punt to give the Browns the ball at the Bucs 35.

Two plays later, Hoyer dropped back and was about to be hit by Tampa Bay’s Lavonte David on a blitz. But rookie running back Terrance West alertly stepped up and got a piece of the Buccaneers linebacker, giving Hoyer enough time to loft his scoring pass to Gabriel and giving the Browns a 22-17 lead.

Glennon went 17 of 33 for 260 yards, and fell to 1-4 while filling in for injured starter Josh McCown.

Mountaineers get swept by No. 25 Oklahoma by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia volleyball team was shut out in its game against the No. 25 Oklahoma Sooners Saturday, 3-0.

In the first set, the Mountaineers were showing some fight and took a lead of 9-4, before Oklahoma fought back and closed the gap, taking the set 26-24. The second and third sets ended in scores of 25-17.

“I really like the way we came out in that first set,”

SPECIAL NOTICES

said head coach Jill Kramer in an interview with WVUSports.com.

“I think if we would have played with that determination and energy the entire match, the outcome could have been different. We’ll learn from tonight and get better from it.”

Junior Hannah Sackett led WVU with 10 kills hitting for a .474 clip on the match, followed by Nikki Attea with nine on a .217 clip and Jordan Anderson with eight.

This was the first match in 26 games where Anderson

did not put down 10 or more kills on the game, and the first time since Nov. 2013 she finished in single digits.

As a team, WVU hit for a .244 percentage on the match, and the Sooners were strong on kills hitting a .438. Madison Ward led Oklahoma with 21 kills on a .679 clip and Kiera Holst put down 14.

Anderson and Attea lead the team with eight digs each.

Attea also added a serving ace. Up at the net, the Mountaineers tallied 12 block assists, an effort Hannah Shreve took charge of with four her-

self. Lamprini Konstantinidou and Sackett also added two each.

Setting for the match, Konstantinidou had 28 assists, while Oklahoma setter Julia Doyle had 42.

After playing strong and coming out with a close loss in the first set, West Virginia could not keep the same energy in set two hitting a .043 clip with only eight kills.

Oklahoma outscored WVU with a .360 hitting percentage and 14 kills.

Coming out of halftime for the third set, down 2-0,

the Mountaineers had more fight in them posting a .412 clip, but it wasn’t enough.

Oklahoma took an 11-5 lead after a 4-0 run and kept going with a 3-0 run to 167. The teams went back and forth scoring, with kills from Anderson and Konstantinidou, before the Sooners took a set point serve with the score at 24-17 and finished the game on a kill, 25-17, taking the match 3-0.

This loss puts the Mountaineers at 13-11 on the season, 3-7 in the Big 12 and Oklahoma at 16-6, 7-2.

Saturday was the eighth time this season the Sooners have swept another team and also the last time the two teams will see each other this season in regular play.

Oklahoma leads the all time series 7-0 and they beat West Virginia in Morgantown in early October, 3-1.

WVU has only six remaining regular season games, three of which are home.

They will be back on the court Saturday against Iowa State at the Coliseum.
