WVU law professor falls in congressional race BY JARED SERRE STAFF WRITER
www.daonline.com
West Virginia voters pass Amendment 1 BY ALAYNA FULLER
After advancing to the general election, Democratic candidate and WVU law professor Kendra Fershee was defeated by incumbent U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va. Fershee was vying for U.S. Representative seat in the 1st Congressional District. McKinley bested Fershee 128,725 votes to 70,402. Despite all of the positives and negatives that come in a political campaign, the experience has been a memorable one for Fershee. “[The positives] are way outweighing the negatives,” Fershee said. “The people I met — the people I wanted to represent in this process — that was an incredible part of this campaign that I can’t replace. If I hadn’t done this, I never would PHOTO BY JOE SEVERINO have had the opportunities to listen to West Virginians in the Democrat Kendra Fershee shares a moment with her husband, Joshua, after finishing a speech at the Mon County Dems watch party. way that I had.” “In my mind, there was really no downside. It took time from my family and it was hard work but, ultimately, there was no downside,” she said. While she may not be headed to Washington D.C, Fershee isn’t exactly disappointed. “I’m getting back in the classroom,” Fershee said. “I’m a law professor, and it’s a job I love that I have had from the beginning.

WV Medicaid Pregnancy Termination Analysis:
STAFF WRITER West Virginia voters have passed Amendment 1, and now the sentence “nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of abortion,” is going to be added to the state Constitution. The measure passed 295,536 to 275,748, less than a 3.5 percent difference. In West Virginia, abortion is legal, but there are some restrictions. The state prohibits abortions after 20 weeks, requires a woman to have state-directed counseling and must wait 24 hours before having the abortion. West Virginia passed a law in 1993 that restricted Medicaid funding for abortions, except when a mother’s life is at risk, or in cases of rape or incest. The state Supreme Court later overturned the law, citing it discriminated against low-income women. The passing of Amendment 1 overruled the 1993 state Supreme Court decision. West Virginians for Life, an organization who campaigned in support of Amendment 1, sent out a press release after the resolution was projected to pass. “West Virginians for Life thanks the people of the state of West Virginia for passing Amendment 1 to stop taxpayer-funding of abortion on demand,” said President Wanda Franz in the release. “Passage of the amendment returns control of the budget to the state legislature, as re-

quired by the State Constitution. We commend the members of the state legislature for their courage in putting this amendment on the ballot.” American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia, who campaigned against the resolution, also sent out a release following the passage of the amendment. “In a blow to both reproductive health care and constitutional protection in West Virginia, anti-abortion advocates and out of state special interests succeeded in pushing a far right constitutional amendment through at the ballot box today with the passage of Amendment 1, which strips abortion protections and funding from the state constitution,” it wrote.

McKinley wins U.S. Representative seat to serve fifth term
Miller takes U.S. House seat
BY JARED SERRE
BY JARED SERRE
STAFF WRITER
STAFF WRITER
Rep. David McKinley, R-W. Va., beat Democratic challenger Kendra Fershee, according to an Associated Press projection. Mckinley is projected to win by just under 30 points, according to the West Virginia Secretary of State. McKinley was first elected to the 1st Congressional District seat during the 2010 midterm elections. Since 2012, he has won each of his reelection bids by at least 20 points. Fershee was a WVU law professor who defeated Ralph Baxter and Tom Payne in the Democratic primary election held earlier this year. After taking office, McKinley will prioritize wiser spending and health care reform, while also supporting job creation surrounding coal and natural gas. In 2017, McKinley voted in support of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which, according to his campaign website, has led to “more money in people’s pockets, companies increasing wages, and giving bonuses.” In an October interview with the Daily Athenaeum, McKinley said the three industries he is focusing on and are seeing gains in are energy, health care and defense. However, one of McKinley’s main priorities has been to find a solution to the opioid crisis. McKinley said it took a long while for Washington to be-
Republican Carol Miller won the U.S. Representative seat for West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District, according to the Associated Press. Miller earned 98,048 votes to her Democratic challenger Richard Ojeda’s 75,776, according to the West Virginia Secretary of State. Both Miller and Ojeda were vying for the seat vacated by Republican Evan Jenkins, who resigned when Gov. Jim Justice appointed him to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. Miller served as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, serving the 16th District. According to her campaign website, Miller wants to “cut the bull out of politics.” Her main goals in Congress would be to protect coal and gas, fund education, create jobs, support farmers and businesses, help to end the opioid epidemic and defend the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Miller received an endorsement from President Donald Trump.

Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., handily defeated Democratic challenger and WVU law professor Kendra Fershee Tuesday night. McKinley beat Fershee by over 55,000 votes, and WV MetroNews called the race by 9 p.m. McKinley will be serving his fifth term in the House of Representitives. come aware of how bad the opioid epidemic in West Virginia was. He said, going forward, he wants the alertness level of the crisis in Congress to stay high. “It was much harder than we thought to get people aware of it,” McKinley said. “Keep long-term funding on opioids, don’t make it just a one-year, two-year program. Continue to do it until we get this thing under control.”
McKinley said he’ll continue to look at the causes of opioid addiction in Congress from more than a socioeconomic issue, which he thinks is not the main driver behind the epidemic. McKinley promised the deeper investigation along with his reelection. “It’s not socioeconomic, that may be a component of it, but [let’s] not take that simplistic route,” McKinley said.
“So, we’ve got a long fight still ahead of us to try to find out what’s causing people to use drugs in the first place.” One area McKinley said he’s seen improvement in is the rural communities’ abilities to write and receive grants to fund the fight against the epidemic. He said he’s brought multiple federal officials to his district to teach communities how to more effectively apply for grants.
McKinley said while he isn’t crazy about Trump’s Twitter feed, he approves of him from a policy and credibility standpoint. “He’s doing what he said he’s going to do. I think that’s the hallmark of someone to get their credibility, to be authentic and genuine,” he said. “Are you going to do what you said you were going to do? And he’s doing it.”
Rep. Mooney beats Democratic challenger to keep place in House BY JARED SERRE STAFF WRITER U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W. Va., will keep his seat in West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District for another two years, according to the Associated Press. Mooney secured 109,018 votes to his Democratic challenger Talley Sergent’s 86,678 according to the West Virginia Secretary of State. The incumbent Mooney was first elected to the seat in 2014. Since taking office, he has fought for traditional conservative values. Mooney has been strongly in support of drug reform in West Virginia. Mooney’s efforts have led to more allocation of federal resources to Jefferson County, as well as the passing of Promoting Responsible Opioid Prescribing Act which,

Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va., won re-election over Democratic challenger Talley Sergent. Mooney will be serving his third term. according to his Congressional website, “would remove an Obamacare penalty on doctors who refuse to over prescribe prescription painkillers”.
Additionally, Mooney is anti-abortion rights, in favor of the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and has earned an A+ rating from the National Rifle
Association (NRA). Regarding the economy, Mooney supported the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. “The economy is doing well,
nobody can argue with that, so I was proud to stand with the tax cuts,” Mooney told WDVM in Hagerstown, Maryland, in early October. “I supported the tax cuts; my opponent wants to roll them back, raise the taxes, I think that’ll hurt our economy.” Mooney implied that his decision to support the bill had to do with jobs in his district. “I think she’s just simply wrong about raising taxes on everybody and corporations, we need those jobs,” Mooney said. According to his website, after spending time at various manufacturing companies in the state, he “understands the potential growth in these industries” and “is devoted to assisting these industries by cutting federal red tape regulations and pointing out tax credits”.
Incumbent Manchin beats Morrisey to serve in U.S. Senate BY JORDYN JOHNSON DIGITAL EDITOR U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., defeated Republican challenger Patrick Morrisey, according to the Associated Press. Manchin beat Morrisey by a little more 3 percent, according to AP. Manchin, of Farmington, West Virginia, is a graduate of West Virginia University and father of three. He began his political career in 1982 when he was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates. He was then elected to the West Virginia state senate in 1986 and served there for 10 years. In 2000, Manchin was elected as the 27th Secretary of State and served from 2001 to 2005. Following that, Manchin was elected as the 34th Governor of West Virginia where he stayed for five years. Since 2010, Manchin has represented West Virginia in the US Senate.

Midterm turnout, early voting hit record highs in West Virginia BY GABRIELLA BROWN STAFF WRITER More than 593,000 West Virginians voted in the 2018 general election, earning the highest midterm turnout this century and smashing the 2014 election turnout. Roughly 47.5 percent of registered voters in the state participated in the Nov. 6 election, according to the West Virginia Secretary of State’s office. In the 2014 midterm, 37.8 percent, or 462,864 registered voters, cast a ballot in West Virginia. Voter turnout in 2010 was much higher, with 44 percent of registered voters, or 535,152 people, casting a ballot. In the 2006 midterm, turnout was 41.6 percent, and in 2002, 42.4 percent of voters participated, according to West Virginia Public Broadcasting. West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District had the highest number of votes cast this election, totaling nearly 202,000 votes.
Just more than 199,000 voters cast a ballot in the 1st Congressional District. The 3rd Congressional District posted the lowest vote count of the three with just less than 174,000 votes cast, according to the Secretary of State’s office. Early voting in West Virginia also hit a record high this year with more than 180,000 votes cast before the Nov. 6 election day. The early voting totals nearly doubled the 97,388 votes cast early in the 2014 midterm, according to the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office. The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported 2018 early voting turnout easily surpassed the 2014 turnout two days before the Nov. 3 deadline with 121,679 votes cast early. Mike Queen, deputy chief of staff for Secretary of State Mac Warner, said since January 2017, there has also been 92,000 new registered voters in the state. Of those, 29,000 were high school students.
Armstead, Jenkins win state Supreme Court seats by significant margins BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR Temporary incumbents Tim Armstead and Evan Jenkins will retain their seats on the state Supreme Court bench after each defeated nine challengers Tuesday night. Armstead, former state Speaker of the House, and Jenkins, former congressional representative for the state’s 3rd Congressional District, were appointed by Gov. Jim Justice in August. Armstead will serve on the bench until 2020, which is the remainder of former Justice Menis Ketchum’s term. Ketchum was charged with one count of felony mail fraud earlier this year over misuse of a state vehicle. Jenkins will serve until 2024, which is the remainder of former Justice Robin Davis’ term. Davis resigned earlier this year after being impeached by the state House of Delegates. Final Results:
Seat One: • Tim Armstead: 130,175 • Joanna I. Tabit: 111,274 • Chris Wilkes: 65,788 • Mark Hunt: 60,301 • Ronald H. Hatfield Jr.: 39,068 • Jeff C.

To face the food insecurity and the opioid crisis. That’s what that means.” Williams agreed. He said, “It means a lot going forward. This is a district that is viewed as being pretty progressive, and the results on Election Day haven’t been showing that. It’s a really nice win,” he said. Democrat Bob Beach won
the 13th Senatorial District, according to MetroNews, and he received 11,394 votes in Monongalia County. This district holds Morgantown. “This was a different election,” Beach said. “We had a lot of money from outside of the state coming into it on the opposing side, so to come out of this spending as little as we did and still pull it off by 1,500 votes, I’m very happy.” Incumbent Democrat Tom
Bloom was re-elected to his Monongalia County Commission seat, earning 18,196 votes. Bloom’s republican opponent, Andrew W. Price, earned 12,325 votes. “We did it with Democrats, we did it with independents — we even did it with some Republicans who said, ‘Enough is enough! We want leadership!’” Bloom said.

CULTURE
Students travel far and wide while studying at WVU BY STEPHANIE GOLDEN STAFF WRITER The opportunity to travel abroad is a big selling point for a lot of students when deciding on a college. Here at WVU, students are offered numerous such opportunities. WVU has a record number of 10 student recipients of the Fulbright Scholarship, a program that provides grants enabling students to work, live and learn from people in their host country. The Fulbright program encourages cultural exchange through direct interaction. Morgan Stemler, a 2018 graduate from the University’s Eberly College of the Arts and Sciences, was one of those 10 recipients. During her time at WVU, Stemler majored in international studies and Chinese studies. Within her majors, she chose to focus on national security and intelligence, with an emphasis on East Asia. She had the goal to one day work for the United States government. Presently, Stemler is putting her ability to speak fluent Mandarin to use by pursuing a master’s degree in Taiwan. She will be spending two years there. Stemler said she has enjoyed being able to experience a new place. “My favorite part so far has been being able to make so many different friends from all over the world and experiencing a new corner of the
world and its diverse landscape,” Stemler said. “Taiwan is such a beautiful place with delicious food, kind people and beautiful scenery.” This isn’t Stemler’s first rodeo when it comes to studying abroad, however. She has traveled abroad several other times during her time at WVU. She interned in London during the summer of 2015, took part in an intensive language program in Tianjin, China, in the summer of 2016, participated in an exchange program to Qingdao, China, during spring break of 2017, was part of a model United Nations trip to the Galapagos in January 2018 and has independently traveled to Europe several times. Not all majors provide study abroad opportunities to the same extent as Stemler’s, but the University does provide many opportunities for all students to study abroad. They offer spring break trips, semester exchange and full-year exchange programs. Trips are often broken down specifically by major or college. For students looking to get involved in study abroad, Stemler would recommend attending one of the University’s study abroad fairs. She also highly recommends the WVU ASPIRE office for help applying for prestigious scholarships. You can also find information at W V U ’s study abroad website at educationabroad.wvu.edu

Study shows how mean professors can ruin a class BY CHRISTIAN LEGRAS STAFF WRITER Have you ever had a professor that was disrespectful and antagonizing? Did you feel that their comments and demeanor affected your overall performance? If you answered yes to either, then Alan Goodboy, a communications professor at WVU, conducted an experiment that you may be interested in. The premise of the experiment was teaching the same content and the same ideas to students but in different ways. In one instance, Goodboy antagonized students, belittled them and made them feel as if their ideas were irrelevant. In the
PHOTO VIA WVU
Alan Goodboy. other instance, Goodboy taught the same way but did not display those antagonizing behaviors. This experi-
ment, however, was not a real class. It was a video, as Goodboy explained. “The idea was that student participants at WVU would watch the video and pretend like they were a student taking the class. And so, they listen to the lecture, and afterward, they ended up taking a quiz,” Goodboy said. Many of the students that watched the antagonizing lecture did not want to enroll with that teacher. In addition, they thought the subject matter was less important and had no interest in learning that subject. “I found that students actually performed worse on the quiz because they really disliked what they were learning,” Goodboy said. “So,
it’s the idea that we have to be careful about how we talk to students and communicate with students. If we communicate in ways that suggest they’re not appreciated, the same exact lecture has detrimental consequence.” In the end, Gooboy’s experiment showed that a positive learning environment benefits both students and professors and promotes both greater levels of understanding of the material and greater interest in the subject matter being taught. Conversely, a negative learning environment can greatly hinder student’s retention and interest. The final paragraph of Goodboy’s report reads, “Students deserve to be taught in
optimal learning environments, and for that to happen, professors need to lay off the antagonism. When they don’t, it could drag down the entire class.” Goodboy’s study can be find linked to this article on the DA’s website, thedaonline.com. In an editorial published in The Conversation, Goodboy wrote, “Students deserve to be taught in optimal learning environments, and for that to happen, professors need to lay off the antagonism. “When they don’t, it could drag down the entire class,” he wrote. “The worst thing an instructor can do, from my perspective, is antagonize their
students. It may be rare, but students regularly identify antagonism as the most significant misbehavior,” he wrote. Goodboy continued, “One of the most surprising findings is that the ‘best’ students’ learning was compromised the most. Those who most valued their learning opportunities and who worked the hardest in the face of distraction lost an average of 5 percent on the quiz.” “College professors have choices about how they communicate with students in the classroom, even if they subscribe to a ‘tell-it-likeit-is’ philosophy,” he wrote. “It’s not just about the quality of the content. It’s also about how that content is communicated.”

OPINION Millennials — the “go nowhere” generation BY SIERRA POWERS OPINION WRITER
Interested in working with us? Let us know! Get your work showcased in WVU’s independent student newspaper by writing for news, culture, opinion or sports OR by being a photographer or videographer. 304-293-4141 www.thedaonline.com danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu 284 Prospect Street, Morgantown
A 2012 article in The New York Times written by Todd and Victoria Buchholz said that young American adults are part of a “go-nowhere generation.” What they mean by this is that young Americans are stagnant and unmotivated. When the article was written in 2012 the unemployment rate was 8.3 percent, and the article uses this statistic as a negative against young adults, also known as millennials and Generation Z. The unemployment rate decreased since 2010. It is currently less than 4 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Young people who are lazy usually don’t go out and get jobs, so if millennials are really the “go-nowhere generation,” wouldn’t the unemployment rate be rising? An article written for The Atlantic called “Generation Stuck: Why Don’t Young People Move, Anymore?” states that young people are “reluctant to move cities where they might be better off.” But if young Americans all moved to cities then urbanization would be a huge problem. The thing is, urban growth is already a huge problem both nationally and globally. According to National Geographic, intense urbanization can lead to more poverty, air pollution, environmental

Some of the most populated cities according to The Jakarta Post are New York City in the U.S. and Tokyo in Japan. These cities also happen to be very polluted and have lots of poverty. Therefore, the decreasing migration rates talked about in the article in The Atlantic aren’t necessarily a bad thing like the writer depicts. Those categorized as millennials
and Generation Z are simply contributing to the decline in intensive urbanization. Erika Anderson, a writer for Forbes, claims in her article “How Millennials Will Save The World, Part I” that millennials are so unlike the stereotypes they are given. She uses a statistic that half of millennials in the workforce hold leadership positions, while past generations at the age that millennials are now only held
junior-level positions. Mark Zuckerberg was only 21 when he invented Facebook. Blake Ross was 17 when he made Mozilla Firefox. Evan Spiegel was only 21 when he invented Snapchat with his 23-year-old fraternity brother, Bobby Murphy. Some of the most influential parts of so many people’s lives were invented by young adults. If you were to ask me I would call us the “go-somewhere generation.”

West Virginia looks to keep momentum rolling against TCU BY MATTHEW GOLD ASSISTANT SPORTS WRITER
FOOTBALL West Virginia is ninth in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff rankings and control their own destiny to play in the Big 12 Championship game and maybe even the College Football Playoff. Win out and they get a spot in the championship game. That starts on Saturday when an injured TCU (45, 2-4 Big 12) team comes to Morgantown. West Virginia (7-1, 5-1 Big 12) is coming off a win against Texas in perhaps college football’s game of the year — at least to this point in the season. Last week’s game saw the WVU offense hitting on all cylinders. Will Grier threw for 346 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. David Sills had two touchdowns and 97 receiving yards. Martell Pettaway and Kennedy McKoy led the ground game with 215 combined rushing yards. The Horned Frogs beat WVU last year in Fort Worth, 31-24. TCU was No. 8, and Kenny Hill threw for 188 yards and a touchdown to go with 28 yards on the ground with one touchdown, which ended up being the game winner. Replacing Hill’s 3,152 passing yards and 21 touchdowns have not been an easy task for TCU head coach Gary Patterson. To start the season, TCU

Robinson, a sophomore, threw for 1,334 yards with nine TDs and eight INTs, including a season-high 380 yards in a loss to Ohio State. In TCU’s 52-27 loss to Oklahoma three weeks ago, Robinson went down with a shoulder injury, which untimely required surgery. Michael Collins has appeared in six games this season but started the last two for the Horned Frogs. He looked good in his first start against Kansas, racking up 351 yards on 23 completions while throwing for one touchdown and one interception. Against Kansas State last weekend, he recorded his first
win as a starter, throwing for 218 yards with one score and no picks. He ran the ball seven times for 22 yards, as well. Star wideout and kick returner KaVontae Turpin was dismissed from the team on Oct. 23 after a second charge came to light regarding an altercation with his girlfriend in which he was arrested. Turpin caught the ball 29 times for 410 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged just over 14 yards per reception. In the return game, he had 175 punt return yards and 312 kickoff return yards, with a touchdown in each category. Outside of Turpin, Jalen Reagor has been the lead guy for TCU’s passing game. He has 734 receiving
yards and a team-high six receiving touchdowns. Since Turpin’s dismissal after the OU game, Reagor has gone for 269 yards and two TDs. In less than two full seasons, Reagor’s 14 touchdowns are seventh all-time at TCU. Josh Doctson’s 29 are first. He played from 2013-15. Reagor has caught a TD pass in four straight games. As has been a common theme for the Mountaineer defense all season, its work will be cut out in defending the opponent’s No. 1 option on offense. Junior Darius Anderson leads the ground attack for TCU. He has run the ball 104 times for 530 yards and three touchdowns — two of those were in the Ohio State

He got a season-high 20 carries in the loss against Kansas. This Horned Frog team is strong defensively. TCU has the Big 12’s topranked pass defense, allowing 190.7 yards per game through the air. The Horned Frogs have held all nine of its opponents to under their season average in yards. Sophomore linebacker Garret Wallow leads the team
with 54 tackles. He recorded a season-high eight stops against Texas. Wallow also has three sacks. Senior safety Ridwan Issahaku is second on the team with 50 tackles. Issahaku also has one interception on the season. Innis Gaines has six pass breakups to pace the defense to go with one INT. Defensive end Ben Banogu leads the team with five sacks. Kickoff is set for noon on Saturday at Mountaineer Field.
Q&A with TCU 360 sports editor Benton McDonald BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL Who wins on Saturday and why? West Virginia. TCU’s injury woes and inability to really get anything going on offense does not stand much chance to the high-octane abilities of Will Grier and Co. While Gary Patterson is known for his defense and this group is certainly talented, they have given up big numbers to the two best offenses they have played in Ohio State and Oklahoma. What are TCU’s biggest strengths?
A veteran secondary has really stepped up and been able to keep the Frogs in games with the middle tier of the Big 12. Jalen Reagor has been awesome. He has been consistently their only threat in the passing game after Turpin was kicked off the team and he has shown up, no matter who is throwing him the ball. What are TCU’s biggest weaknesses? A young offensive line has not blocked well for the QB or opened up running lanes and has really stagnated what could be an explosive offense. Robinson was constantly pressured before he went down for an injury and it hasn’t been much better for Michael Col-
lins. Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua are very talented but haven’t been able to get much going behind a very mediocre line. With the tone of the season changing in Fort Worth, what is a realistic goal for this TCU team? A bowl game! The team needs wins against Oklahoma State and Baylor to get to 6-6 (assuming they lose to WVU), and they are currently favored in both. While no one, including this sports editor, thought the season would be here, many fans in Fort Worth would just be happy to reach a December game.

WVU, Radford to battle in first round of NCAA Tournament BY JARED SERRE SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER Following up on a Big 12 Championship win, the WVU women’s soccer team will take on Radford on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This will be the third time the Mountaineers and the Highlanders will duke it out, but only the first time in this decade. In both of the previous matchups, coming in 2003 and 2004, the Mountaineers came out on top. Radford comes into the first round matchup led by head coach Ben Sohrabi, who is in his 23rd season at the helm of the program. Sohrabi helped guide the team to an overall record of 16-2-1. The Highlanders are currently led by senior midfielder Jasmine Casarez, who has a team-leading 13 goals on the season. To put that into perspective, senior forward Jessica Wollman, the Radford player in second place, has eight while senior forward Sh’Nia Gordon, who has the high amount for

LeBlanc’s troops set to host Akron in Mid-American Conf. semifinals BY COLE MCCLANAHAN SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S SOCCER For the first time since joining the MAC, the WVU men’s soccer team will host the MAC Championship. It all starts with Akron on Friday night. As the regular season champions, the 12th-ranked West Virginia men’s soccer team will host the final rounds of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) tournament at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this weekend. After winning their final match of the regular season Friday night, WVU (13-5, 5-0 MAC) won the MAC regular season championship, their first championship since entering the conference in 2012. “At the end of the day, it’s another win on the road for us, it’s another victory for us, and we’re looking forward to moving on to the MAC Championship semifinals next weekend at home,” WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc said following the Moun-
taineers’ overtime win over Northern Illinois. Since West Virginia received a first-round bye to begin the tournament, the Mountaineers’ first opponent will be the Akron Zips, who finished fourth in the MAC during the regular season. WVU previously faced Akron on Oct. 13 and came away with a 2-1 overtime win. The Mountaineers were down 1-0 until a goal was scored by WVU’s senior midfielder Joey Piatczyc with 13 seconds left to force overtime. Piatczyc then won the match for West Virginia with a goal in the 92nd minute. Akron’s regular season finale against Western Michigan was later canceled, so the Zips (8-6-2, 1-2-1 MAC) last two matches were both against SIU Edwardsville, and both games were victories for Akron. In the first round of the MAC Tournament, Akron beat SIU Edwardsville 2-1 and was led in goals by senior defender Morgan Hackworth and junior forward Marcel Zajac. Both goals were scored early — the eighth and 33rd
minutes — and Akron was able to hold on for the remainder of the match. SIUE struggled throughout the match to attack the Zips’ defense as they were only able to get four shots off the entire game, with only one ending up on goal. Akron attempted 15 shots in the match and was able to put four on goal. For the season, sophomore forward David Egbo leads the team in goals, shots and shots on goal with nine, 40 and 15, respectively. Zajac tops the team in assists with five on the year. If the Mountaineers are able to defeat Akron on Friday night, they will face the winner of Bowling Green and Western Michigan in the MAC Tournament finals on Sunday. West Virginia won their regular season meeting against both teams, and if they are able to secure a victory in the MAC Tournament finals, it would be their first conference tournament championship since 1997. WVU and Akron are set to kick off Friday night at 5:30 p.m.

gutted it out, grinded it out and had a winning mindset,” Mountaineer coach Nikki Iz-
zo-Brown said at the team’s selection show watch party Monday. “I’m so proud of this team, but we’re not done.” In order to advance, WVU will rely on strong performances by Big 12 Tournament Most Outstanding Defensive Player Easther Mayi Kith and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Bianca St. Georges in order to offset the Highlander offense. Gordon will play a big role on the offensive side of the ball, having been named the Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the Big 12 Tournament. The Mountaineers, who are one of four No. 2 seeds in the 64-team field, have secured home field advantage through the third round of the tournament if they were to make it that far. WVU has won their last three first-round matchups in the NCAA tournament. Saturday’s match will kickoff at 4 p.m. from Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown.

Q&A with UB Spectrum sports editor Nathanial Mendelson izona last year, there’s nothing that could really bring this program down. They lost senior Wes Clark, who was their main offensive catalyst. But they have three seniors, CJ Massinburg, Nick Perkins and Jeremy Harris, who are all excellent in their own right. They’re a really deep team, and they brought in their highest recruiting class in school history. This is the best team you’ve probably ever seen in a Buffalo uniform.”
BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR
MEN’S BASKETBALL What did you think of UB’s 82-67 win over St. Francis on Tuesday? “It’s one of those things where, typically, teams like to play weaker conference teams and get that first win under their belt. But they played the Northeast Conference favorite. So it wasn’t the weakest opponent they could have played. But from the get-go, it was clear on that Buffalo was the better team in the matchup, but they just couldn’t knock down their shots, which is their main issue. That’s going to be their main issue going forward because they had the capability of really great three-point shooting that was displayed all last year.” What do you think UB could do (if anything) that will give WVU fits? “Jeremy Harris is supposed to be UB’s top three-point shooter. I think he was two of 11 shooting yesterday, which is not a typical night for him. In the second half, he started to pass up those open looks which

Also, there’s a sequence from Davonta Jordan, who’s UB’s starting point guard. He played full court pressure on a guy. Block him on one end on a mid-range
jumper, then on the ensuing possession hit a corner three and totally shifted the momentum to put the Bulls up 33-23 in the first half against St. Francis. That’s the one thing I can say for West Virginia to look out for is the guard pressure

Senior forward Nick Perkins looks for the jump shot with distance from the defender. Perkins had team highs with 16 points and nine rebounds to give the Bulls a 1-0 this season. on defense. Jordan and Dontay Caruthers, two guys who are all-conference players. Does Buffalo look like they’ll continue their recent success?
“We’re definitely on the track to continue that. This is my third year here, but I’ve never seen hype around a team at the school or excitement around a team like this before. After their win over Ar-
Is there a chance Buffalo could beat WVU and if so, will they? “You know what, that’s tough. I have confidence that Buffalo’s going to play well. I think it’s going to be a competitive game. Obviously, they know all the stakes of it. They know West Virginia’s the 13th-best team in the country, they know they made a big run in the NCAA Tournament, Konate’s one of the best shot blockers in the nation and there’s no other team that can press just like they do. In practice this week, [Buffalo] has been trying to beat the press and figure out their ways. The way that they’re going to beat it is the same way they were able to beat Arizona. It’s easier said than done, but beat the press.”

1.) I voted for Joe Manchin. 2.) I figured Joe would beat Morrisey because he has been in West Virginia politics for years. I’m not really surprised. 3.) I don’t really have a stance on it, because I could see both sides of why you would and wouldn’t want it to be passed.

Lewis Witte 1.) Yes, I voted on Tuesday. 2.) I think there are things for everyone to be happy about. Democrats gained control of the house and Republicans kept control of the Senate. 3.) Although abortion should be an option in extreme cases such as rape or a potential death during delivery, I fi nd the funding through public money to not be necessary. I think the money should go to other things, such as education.

Mallory Carper 1.) I didn’t go out and vote. 2.) Politics don’t really interest me that much, so I can’t say I have any opinions on the matter. 3.) I don’t think it’s good that it passed. While I think people should only get abortions if there’s a defi nite problem or reason for it, it’s no good to let nobody get one.
