Documents detail reported violations by Greeks BY JARED SERRE STAFF WRITER When WVU placed a moratorium on Greek life last spring over behavioral concerns, the University established a program, called Reaching the Summit, to recommend changes for Greek organizations on campus. Reaching the Summit created a working group comprised of students, faculty and national Greek organization representatives. The working group conducted a blind re-
view of reported conduct violations from each fraternity and sorority in the 2017-18 academic year. In a meeting, the working group was shown each organization’s reported violations, but the names of the fraternity or sorority were hidden. The following reports are what the working group saw while voting on recommendations and possible sanctions The Daily Athenaeum obtained these documents through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The reported violations
were listed on PowerPoint slides. The slides list that if an “R” is beside a reported violation, the organization was found responsible. If a “R-Individual” is listed beside a reported violation, an individual in the chapter was found responsible. Some also have a “Pending” mark, meaning the investigation into the reported incident is ongoing. If there is no mark beside the reported violation, according to the slides, the working group was told to “assume nobody was found
responsible.” Since the slides were done by a blind review, the Daily Athenaeum matched the GPA’s from the slides to the chapter GPA listings on the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life’s website. The office, however, declined to confirm the results the Daily Athenaeum found. Phi Sigma Kappa and Kappa Alpha located in Morgantown tallied the most reported conduct violations of the WVU Interfraternity Council (IFC) during the 2017-18 academic year.
Then recognized by the University, Phi Sigma Kappa totaled 21 reported violations, while Kappa Alpha was second with 18. Sigma Chi finished with 15 reported violations, just three behind Kappa Alpha. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was fourth with 11. Of all of the reported violations, the most common area was relating to social event procedure. These offenses include, but are not limited to, noise complaints, buildings over occupancy and hosting unregistered events. Not included in this ar-
ticle are the reported violations from WVU’s nine sororities in the Panhellenic Council and the five historically African-American fraternities and sororities in the National Pan-Hellenic Council. The Daily Athenaeum found any reported violations from these organizations weren’t significant enough to list, and any changes recommended to them did not warrant any serious changes.

SGA, city council looking into ride-sharing scooter programs BY MADISON GREER STAFF WRITER Both Morgantown City Council and SGA are currently looking into bringing ride-sharing scooters to Morgantown. At its meeting last Tuesday, the city council discussed the possibility of a new ride-sharing program after the city received an application for a business license about an electric scooter program. It could allow residents to travel the city by scooter before leaving it for the next user. Currently, Morgantown traffic codes deny usage of the scooters and other “toy” modes of transportation, including roller skates and skateboards, on the streets and on sidewalks in Morgantown’s business district. Motor vehicles, aside from motorized wheelchairs, are also prohibited from paths in public parks.
If the program decides to be launched in Morgantown, certain sections of the traffic code must be modified first, said the council. The ride-sharing program uses an app to access and unlock the scooters, and depending on the company providing the scooters, parking can be free range or a designated parking spot can be put in place. However, parking is another roadblock the scooters face. According to Morgantown’s traffic code, no one is permitted to park a motorized vehicle in a travel roadway in a park within certain hours. In order for the city’s decision to move forward, the council must decide whether or not these scooters dictate as a toy. Emily Muzzarelli, assistant city manager of Morgantown, brought the restrictive ordinances forward during the city council meeting and distinguished what else is considered a toy.
“Right now, a toy vehicle is considered a dirt bike, where a dirt bike is more closer related to a motorcycle,” Muzzarelli said. “The use of the word ‘toy vehicle’ is misleading. However, that is how it is being referenced to in one of the items of the code.” Council said scooter ride-sharing programs are gaining popularity in larger metro areas, such as Washington D.C. It looked into the program being potentially beneficial in the hilly areas of Morgantown. But the council also considered other factors, such as the number of scooters in a relatively small area, if helmets need to be looked into, the speed of the scooters and how to charge the scooters. Although the council did not make any official votes on the future of this program, it said it will be looking further into the logistics of the scooters. Ryan Simonton, city attorney of Morgantown, is optimistic about
“Naturally, with pedestrian safety being a priority in this administration, we want to make sure it won’t cause any danger to students.” - SGA President Isaac Obioma what can be done to implement ride-sharing scooters. “We can look into what restrictions there might be on how we can permit that,” Simonton said. “To some extent, the state code limits what we can do in streets, but it’s not overly restrictive.” SGA has also been looking into the electric assisted kick scooter company, called Spin, separately from the council to implement the ride-sharing program on campus. SGA believes the company would be beneficial to students at night, which would make pedestrians more visible to traffic. SGA President Isaac Obioma said not only will
the scooters be somewhat of a safety net for students when campus becomes dark, but they could also help students make quick trips across campus without vehicles. He said it could potentially free up parking and limit traffic during peak travel times. “Naturally, with pedestrian safety being a priority in this administration, we want to make sure it won’t cause any danger to students,” Obioma said. Obioma said SGA wants to launch a pilot for the program soon on the Evansdale campus. The University of Kentucky is one of six college campuses that uses Spin.
Key points of the ride-sharing scooter program • An app would be used to to access/unlock scooters • Parking could be free range or have designated parking spots depending on the scooter company • Programs like this one are popular in heavilypopulated areas such as D.C. • Could serve as a “safety net” for students when traveling around campus in the dark • Has the potential to free up parking and limit traffic

One of WVU’s smallest majors has no strings attached BY RACHEL JOHNSON ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR West Virginia University is one of only two universities in the nation to offer a degree in puppetry. While it may seem like arts and crafts, it is so much more than “Sesame Street,” said Alexandra Ashworth, a junior from San Jose, California, studying both child development and family studies and puppetry and creative dramatics. Ashworth came to WVU as a nursing student and said that she has always loved kids. She quickly realized nursing wasn’t for her but found a program that used puppets to help create a sense of normalcy for children in hospitals. Ashworth said puppets are applicable to pediatric health care. She spends an average of 15-20 hours a week in the puppet shop creating her puppets. “When I added puppetry, in all honesty, I thought it was going to be easy,” Ashworth said. “I was so incredibly wrong.” Puppetry classes are not in the typical lecture hall but rather in the puppet shop. “A lot of your classes within

nipulation to creating sets, props and special effects. Liv Gill is a second-year puppetry student and has
always loved special effects in movies. “I loved the makeup, the costumes, the puppets,”
Gill said. As a child, Gill was obsessed with the movie “Labyrinth.” In high school, she was involved in both acting and sculpting and realized that puppetry brought both of those together. Gill said a lot of work goes into making a puppet and that she spends many hours at the Creative Arts Center working on her puppets. Gill said she would really like to be an Imagineer with Disney one day. While the prospect of working for Disney might seem like an unreachable dream for some, The Walt Disney company is one of the top employers of puppetry majors. Anna Buntin, a sophomore from Richmond, Virginia, studies theatre design and technology with a focus in puppetry and hopes to work on a scale smaller than Disney. She hopes to work in community theatre helping to educate children. “I’ve always been involved in visual art,” Buntin said. “Puppetry is so fascinating because I grew up watching PBS Kids.” When Buntin was in high school, she made a marionette out of a fallen tree from behind her house after
studying some of the works of Wayne White, a designer for the hit television show “Peewee’s Playhouse.” Buntin also said she spends countless hours at the CAC working on puppets and perfecting her art. Buntin said puppets are a great way to spread information to kids and described how much fun working on the puppet mobile is because of how children interact with the puppets. Buntin said she also enjoys learning about East Asian cultures that puppetry originated from. “I think one big misconception about puppetry is that it’s just playing with dolls,” Buntin said. “It takes a lot of work to get to a level where you are comfortable with portraying the culture that the puppets come from.” Since WVU’s puppetry program is so small, the classes are small. Some puppetry classes have capacities of only four seats. However, Buntin said she loves the small class sizes because it creates such an intimate relationship with others in the puppetry program. “It’s teamwork and patience and doing your part for the entirety of the show,” Buntin said.
West Virginia University to host coat drive on election day BY RACHEL JOHNSON ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR With temperatures dropping and winter around the corner, some people may be in need of warm coats for the cold months ahead.
That is why the WVU Staff Council and Faculty Welfare Committee are sponsoring a coat drive to take place on Election Day, Nov. 6, at the Gold Gate of the Coliseum from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. According to Sgt. Peggy Runyon, they chose to hold the event on Election Day be-
cause most children will be out of school and parents will then have the chance to bring the kids along to try on coats and choose what they like. They have been taking donations for the coat drive since Oct. 1 and will continue until Monday. Donations will also be accepted at
the Coliseum until 9 a.m. on Tuesday. There is no cost for this event, and no personal information or income information is needed to participate. If someone has a need, they are welcome on Tuesday. It is a first come first serve basis until all the coats
are gone. Items that have been donated along with coats include accessories such as gloves, hats and scarfs. Any leftover donations will be offered to other coat drives in the surrounding area. Adult sizes include small,
medium, large and extra-large. There are varying sizes of children’s coats as well. Some coats that were donated were brand new. Any coat that had been worn before will be cleaned before it is handed out.

One week after shooting, Morgantown’s Jewish community tries to get back to normal BY GABRIELLA BROWN STAFF WRITER A week after the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Congregation in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Morgantown’s Jewish community has stayed strong by supporting one another and continuing its Shabbat celebrations.
“This really did send a shiver up the spine of the Jewish community,” said Zack Levenson, president of the Rohr Chabad Jewish Student Center at WVU and a senior political science student. On Friday evening, Jewish communities around the country held a remembrance of the Squirrel Hill victims during its Shabbat celebration.
Both Jewish community members and Morgantown residents came to the dinner, and President E. Gordon Gee made an appearance to show his support. Levenson said the community is working with law enforcement to protect its members in the future. “We are reviewing our security procedures and working with University Police Depart-
ment and the Morgantown Police Department to make sure that we continue to have a safe and secure environment for Jewish students,” he said. A WVU Police officer attended Friday’s Shabbat celebration. Through everything, Levenson said the Rohr Chabad Jewish Center’s mission has not changed, and they do not plan on letting anti-Semi-
tism influence their presence on campus. “Our goal is to be your home away from home,” Levenson said. “We want Jewish students to feel welcome and have a place where they can hang out with others and enjoy themselves and their time here at West Virginia University.” WVU held a vigil last Monday night in honor
of the shooting victims, which Levenson said was a huge success, with even more people attending than he expected. “We did not expect so many people to come there,” Levenson said. “It was heartwarming to the Jewish community here to see so many of our friends and people who we knew and who we didn’t know come out to support us.”

OPINION
Roger Brent Scott: A legacy built through tragedy How one student turned grief into selfless passion — in memory of Leah Berhanu SUBMITTED BY CASSIDY LEGO JUNIOR, REED COLLEGE OF MEDIA , STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS High school graduation symbolizes the beginning of new life for many. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder, row-by-row, it is one of the most nerve-wracking and extraordinary emotional roller coasters to grace the lives of young adults. The awkward years of adolescence are times of the past, as teenagers are suddenly thrust into the adult world of the unknown. Personal bubbles of comfort and security are popped as a neatly-rolled parchment paper is passed on with a farewell handshake. A final completion of the longest and most predominant accomplishment to date. In the time that follows, thoughts wander to what will become of those with which youth had been spent. What journey their strengths will lead them on. Unfortunately for some, their journey goes awry and is cut short. Roger Brent Scott, or Brent Scott, is active with the West Virginia University Student Government Association and was recently named Representative of the Year. He also devotes time toward the Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board. Scott was one of 23 students in his high school graduation class, where he befriended Leah Berhanu. Their tale goes back as far as those dreadful middle school days, although Leah’s presence never failed to brighten the mood. “Leah and I were close in high school but went different directions and made our own individual friend groups once we were in college at WVU. We had this handshake we always did in class that we made up in middle school, and every time I would see her on High Street or walking to class, we would do the handshake, even through the first half of our senior year of college,” Scott said. To Scott and others who knew her, Berhanu was one of a kind, an incredible human being with goals bigger than herself. She was an immaculate singer with a gracious personality. Scott describes Leah

Leah Berhanu, 21, was a civil engineering student.
Brent Scott. as the kind of girl who took your breath away with a smile, a smile you just couldn’t look away from. “She will be remembered as someone that exemplifies what it means to be a West Virginian and a Mountaineer. She would take the shirt off her back for anyone, go the extra mile even if it meant nothing for her,” Scott said. Berhanu, 21, a civil engineering student, was struck and killed by a vehicle while crossing at the intersection of Morrill Way and Patteson Drive on Feb. 1, 2018. The driver failed to stop at a red light. When a tragedy occurs in a place like Morgantown, students and faculty unite to mourn and support one another, as Mountaineers do. Although, it’s not uncommon for a tragedy to begin to fade into something of the past. When the initial wave of shock has passed through the community, the topic of conversation begins to change as people move on
with their daily lives. This isn’t the case for those who knew Berhanu. For them, she is missed every day. “I remember exactly where I was when I got the news that Leah had been struck and killed. I knew immediately that we had to do something about this, and I have been committed to not letting Leah’s death go in vain,” Scott said. That following Monday, he attended a Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board meeting and began developing strategies to prevent an event like this from ever happening again. Stemming from the Pedestrian Safety Board, the Pedestrian Safety Working Group was created by the University. Scott is an active member of this group. As of February, this team has been conducting meetings throughout the school year and has created an “Action Plan.” This plan is full of goals to achieve within the next six months to five years. The Pedestrian Safety Working Group and the Pedestrian
Safety Board’s ultimate goal is to have zero pedestrian deaths. Morgantown, as a community, must improve on their interest and involvement with pedestrian safety. “I cannot stress enough how important it is to watch out for our fellow Mountaineers. If you see a friend texting while driving, say something. If your friends are not using crosswalks on streets with heavy traffic or taking unnecessary risks while on campus, please say something. We are a family, and it’s about time we start acting like it,” Scott said. Although Berhanu’s accident happened months ago, the issue remains at large and should never be silenced. The students and University as a whole must keep the conversation alive by providing education to incoming freshman and being proactive about road conditions and surroundings. “Robert Kennedy once said, ‘Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which we should live.’ There
should not be a single pedestrian fatality on this campus with the amount of technology, funding and resources this university has,” Scott said. The Pedestrian Safety Board, with the help of Scott and many other students, continue their advocacy for the safety of fellow Mountaineers. Scott and others on the board are working on creating and distributing reflective buttons for students to wear on their backpacks at night. Larger plans for the future include repainting crosswalk lines and sidewalks, as well as creating mandatory educational models for pedestrian safety for students and conducting surveys to increase awareness. “Student safety should be what our University resources go to before all else. That’s what we fight for, that’s why we keep the conversation alive. That’s what needs to be done so lives like Leah’s are not carelessly lost due to negligence,” Scott said regarding the need for pedestrian walking bridges.
It is important we keep this conversation going. We must remember the shock and sorrow we felt after Berhanu’s death. Life can be taken away from us in an instant. Scott will graduate this December with a political science degree and a minor in leadership studies. No doubt, what Scott will miss most on graduation day is that silly handshake he once shared with Berhanu. Although Leah is no longer here, her legacy will live on through the efforts of Scott, the Pedestrian Safety Board, Student Government Association and the University as they advocate for the safety of the community. “Pedestrian safety is at the forefront of conversation at WVU,” Scott said, “and it’s about damn time.” For more information on the Pedestrian Safety Board, or if you are interested in getting involved in WVU’s efforts, please contact Chairman Matthew Cross at crossnyc@hotmail.com.

Sen. Manchin understands that the
families of service members also make major sacrifices. It’s not all talk; Joe is a man of action. He has proven that time and again as he has voted
to pass bills that support West Virginia veterans. He implemented Yellow Ribbon legislation because Joe is committed to providing access to education for veterans. He supported a 2.6 percent pay raise for our service men and women, the largest pay raise for members of the military in 10 years. I’m proudly supporting Joe because he does what he says. He worked with Republicans and Democrats to write the HIRE Vets Act into law because Joe believes that veterans deserve a chance to join the workforce honorably when they return home. This year, he worked to secure $300 million for veterans’ employment and training. In the time I’ve known Joe Manchin, he’s done
Editorial-in-Chief: Why is it so hard to get a damn debate? BY DOUGLAS SOULE EDITORINCHIEF This is not an endorsement of someone. This is an endorsement of something. Debates. Debates offer the public an unadulterated view of the candidates who vie to represent them. Instead of seeing these candidates regurgitate slogans and attacks in campaign ads, citizens get to watch those on the ballot hash it out in real time and in real life. That hasn’t happened much with West Virginia federal candidates in this election cycle. For the West Virginia 3rd Congressional District, there was no debate. Democrat Richard Ojeda has criticized his opponent, Republican Carol Miller, for avoiding the public eye, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail. Still, no debate. For the West Virginia 2nd Congressional District, there was no debate. Democrat Talley Sergent called incum-
bent U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va., many times to request a debate, according to a WV MetroNews article. Still, no debate. For the West Virginia 1st Congressional District, there was a debate. Well, not really. Incumbent U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., had a faceto-face conversation on Oct. 31 with Democratic challenger Kendra Fershee on Talkline, a radio show hosted by Hoppy Kercheval. The Daily Athenaeum does not view this as a debate. Neither does Fershee. “The offer [to debate] stands, and to be clear there has been no debate scheduled. Kendra is happy to do the round table, but a debate involves an open discussion in front of voters,” Fershee’s campaign tweeted on Oct. 29. On Oct. 27, the Daily Athenaeum emailed representatives for both candidates an invitation for a debate. Fershee’s campaign responded with willingness within 10 minutes. McKinley’s campaign did not respond until Nov. 2, after the
DA sent a follow-up email. “Thank you for the invitation,” wrote Rod Rodgers, a spokesman for McKinley. “The Congressman participated in a debate this week with Hoppy Kercheval.” No, he didn’t. The DA sent a response again offering to host a debate, but has not received a response as of publication. The Thursday debate between U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, hosted by Kercheval, was televised but not open to a public audience. Morrisey did not accept an invitation from HD Media, NCWV Media and Ogden Newspapers for a debate in Wheeling, according to WV MetroNews. Why is it so hard for West Virginians to get a damn debate? Why is it so hard to face those you’re requesting votes from? Cold, calculated, cowardly decisions to not face the public serve nothing but the political motivations of the candidate.

He is the greatest advocate West Virginia veterans have ever had. He listens to West Virginians and gets results. I can tell you that there are many things that would not have happened if Joe Manchin were not there to serve the Mountain State. I hope you will join me and many other veterans in supporting Sen.

Grier, WVU show they have what it takes BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER
FOOTBALL The great ones find a way. Down 41-34 with 16 seconds remaining, West Virginia’s Big 12 title hopes were hanging in the balance. The 100,000plus fans of Texas were loud. They were ready to watch their Longhorns get one step closer to playing at Cowboys Stadium on Dec. 1 while sending WVU home with smaller and unlikely hopes of being able to play for that Big 12 trophy. But then came redshirt senior quarterback Will Grier, one of the top players in all of college football that may have just solidified a trip to New York for the Heisman ceremony. He did what all of the great ones do: made a play when it matters most. Grier threw a ridiculously perfect pass to senior receiver Gary Jennings for a 33-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 41-40. Grier had a little momentum and somehow placed the pass in the right spot in the back of the end zone for Jennings to make the catch. And then head coach Dana
Holgorsen said WVU would go for two. They would go for the win. Grier converted both twopoint tries (Texas called timeout right before the first one), running down the left side on the second one to give WVU the 42-41 lead and the win right there, capping off a Heisman moment and then running by the Texas student section, where he flashed the “horns down” gesture. Does Grier win the Heisman? Probably not. What Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa has done is remarkable and otherworldly, but to be considered for the most prestigious individual award in college football is a good enough accomplishment on its own. “If you put the fate of the game in No. 7’s hands, I feel pretty good about it,” Holgorsen said. That moment signified this West Virginia team perfectly — poised, confident and tough. There was no way this WVU team was going to lose. They had the confidence to know they would come out on top. Less than a month ago, it looked like everything this group worked for came crashing down. They put forth an absolutely dreadful performance
in Ames for a 30-14 loss to Iowa State. The offense gained just 152 yards — the lowest in the Holgorsen era — and the defense missed 31 tackles. Nothing went right. But the leaders on the team got it fixed. Holgorsen fixed it. So did his assistants. No way would that one performance define their season. And it didn’t. West Virginia responded with a dominant 58-14 win over Baylor in the next game to get back on track. It gained 568 yards, scored 58 points on 64 plays, held Baylor to a mere 287 total yards and forced four turnovers. Fast forward one week later, and WVU got another big win on its resume on the field of the No. 17 team in the country. Grier completed 28 of 42 passes for 346 yards, three scores and zero interceptions. That is a huge effort compared to a Kansas game one month earlier that saw him throw three picks at the goal line and the Iowa State game that saw him complete 11 passes for just 100 yards and get sacked seven times. The running game recorded 232 yards, and the defense made two critical stops inside the 10-yard line. All of that showed how resilient this group is. They have heart. They have confidence.

Wide receiver Gary Jennings making the game-winning touchdown catch in the forth quarter. They have poise. They have moxie. They don’t let adversity take control of everything they have worked for. “We all heart,” said WVU redshirt junior linebacker David Long. “We’ve got some players out there, and we’ve got a lot of players stepping in and making plays from the top to the bottom, from the older guys to the younger guys. Everybody is stepping up and making some plays when need to.” Of course, they still have
things to work on. Giving up 41 points was not an accomplishment for a defense that came in allowing just 19.6 points per game. The 14 penalties for 120 yards are a major problem, too. But WVU did what it did best. It responded. It made the plays when it needed to. That’s what the great players and great teams do, and that’s why West Virginia is tied with Oklahoma for first place in the Big 12 with three regular-season
games left. “I felt since that loss we really had an eye-opener, and I feel like we’ve grown together,” said WVU junior defensive end Reese Donahue. “Those guys are my brothers. We spend so much together. I would do anything for them. I would lay down my life for them. That’s just how it is. I felt for a while we started to taper off, and then as soon as we had that it was like camp all over again. We picked it right back up.”
Pros and Cons of WVU’s 42-41 win against the Longhorns offense that much better. “We knew we had to run the ball, and I thought we did a great job throughout the course of the week of scheming some things up, and I thought the O-line did a good job,” said Holgorsen.

FOOTBALL Barring chaos in the next three weeks in the Big 12, it seems that West Virginia is in the driver’s seat to get to the conference championship game. WVU beat Texas 42-41 on Saturday in Austin to go to the top of the Big 12 standings, ahead of Texas and tied with Oklahoma. There were plenty of highs and talking points in the game, mainly Will Grier’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Gary Jennings with 16 seconds left and Grier’s successful two-point conversion attempt following the TD. Still, some things need to be worked on and improved to ensure that Dana Holgorsen’s team makes it to Dallas on Dec. 1. PRO: The running game comes alive There were 232 rushing yards by the Mountaineers. This was, without a doubt,

Running back Martell Pettaway walking the ball into the end zone. WVU’s best and most productive running game of the season. Martell Pettaway led the way with 121 yards and two scores, including a 55-yard score in the second quarter. Kennedy McKoy ran the ball 17 times for 94 yards. This was exactly the kind of rushing performance that West
Virginia needed. Everyone knows WVU has one of the best passing offenses in the nation. Their running back group is talented and deep but has not had a breakout game like this one. A strong running performance on a consistent basis just makes this team and this
CON: Penalties, penalties, penalties West Virginia committed 14 penalties for 120 yards. But they still won the game despite getting flagged for 120 yards. This has been something that has given WVU fits all season long. After a David Sills touchdown catch, he threw up the “horns down” sign in front of the Texas fans and got flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Following the extra point attempt, offensive linemen Yodny Cajuste was also flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for taking a jab at a Texas player. This led to Cajuste being ejected from the game. Plenty of false starts, holdings and pass interferences almost cost WVU the game. There were two false starts on West Virginia’s first drive that stalled
and backed up the offense, which ultimately may have cost the offense a touchdown.
spot is safety — has given WVU a huge boost in the middle of the field on defense.
PRO: JoVanni Stewart’s impressive play Injuries to the linebacker corps have forced players to step up and play and perform in a big way for the WVU defense. Shea Campbell stepped into Dylan Tonkery’s spot three weeks ago against Iowa State and recorded double-digit tackles. In the first game of the season against Tennessee, Charlie Benton left the game with a sprained knee. It was announced the week after that he would miss the rest of the season. This forced JoVanni Stewart into his starting SAM linebacker spot. Against Texas, he recorded a season-high seven tackles. Stewart was all over the field making plays and disrupting the UT offense all afternoon. He had one tackle for a loss and hit Texas QB Sam Ehlinger one time. For Stewart to play this impressive in a rather unfamiliar position — Stewart’s natural
CON: Third quarter offense sputters An all too common theme came up again on Saturday. Coming out of halftime, the offense was not able to get anything going. A three-minute, six-play drive ended up with a Billy Kinney punt. The next possession, WVU went seven plays and turned the ball over on a drive. West Virginia’s defense helped out with this problem by holding Texas to only three points in the third. If the offense was able to put some points on the board in the third, the game may have gotten out of hand for Texas and may not have taken a touchdown pass with 16 seconds left to win. Against weaker opponents like TCU and Oklahoma State, that may not matter. But against Oklahoma, the opponent in the Big 12 Championship (if WVU makes it), and the bowl game, this may not win the Mountaineers the game.

WVU defeats Baylor, claims Big 12 Tournament crown BY JARED SERRE SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER In a matchup of the top two seeds in the tournament, the WVU women’s soccer team became Big 12 Champions on Sunday when they defeated the Baylor Bears by a final score of 3-0. This is the first time since 2016 that the Mountaineers leave Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri with the trophy. With the win, the Mountaineers (14-4-3) secure a spot in the NCAA tournament for an 18th straight season. The victory also snapped Baylor’s 10-match win streak, spanning back to the regular season. WVU got on the scoreboard first as a shot by senior forward Sh’Nia Gordon was accidentally deflected into the net by a Baylor defender in the 36th minute. Baylor (17-5) was only able to get off two shots on the West Virginia side of the pitch in the first half. Neither of those shots were able to reach the back of the net, and the Mountaineers entered halftime with

The women’s soccer team celebrates together after scoring a goal against Kansas State on Sept. 28. a 1-0 lead. After halftime adjustments, Baylor came out for the second half with an increased intensity — managing to rack up
two shots and a yellow card in the first 10 minutes. For WVU, the Mountaineers were able to add two insurance scores in the second
half. The first, a goal by senior defender Amanda Saymon in the 77th minute, was the first of her collegiate career. The second came off the foot of
sophomore forward Lauren Segalla eight minutes later. Despite the game plan adjustments, the Bears were unable to find the back of the net
in the second half. This is Baylor’s first loss to WVU after defeating the Mountaineers in overtime earlier in the season. Saymon’s goal was assisted by freshman forward Jordan Brewster while Gordon and senior forward Nadya Gill contributed to find Segalla for her goal. Gordon led WVU in shot attempts with five. Four others managed to get off at least two shots as well. WVU ended the afternoon with 19 total shots — five of which were on goal. This was the third shutout in three tournament games for the WVU defense. Junior goalkeeper Rylee Foster has been in goal for all three, as well as the eight taking place during the regular season. The Mountaineers will fly home and host a team-only watch party on Monday for viewing of the 2018 NCAA Championship Selection Show for details of their next match. The first round of tournament games will take place at select campuses across the country during the weekend of Nov. 9-11.
Guard rotation still in question on eve of regular season BY JARED SERRE SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S BASKETBALL After taking on Penn State in a preseason exhibition game, there is still one question on the minds of many: who gets the start at point guard for the men’s basketball team? Following last year’s loss in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, then-starting point guard Jevon Carter graduated and headed to the NBA — taking his team leadership and two Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year awards with him. The Mountaineers currently have many candidates for the role, but, based on the team’s preseason play, nobody has jumped out and secured the spot. In Saturday’s exhibition matchup against Penn State, junior Jermaine Haley received the start but was quickly replaced by freshman Jordan McCabe three minutes into the game. Also thrown into the mix was redshirt-freshman Brandon Knapper, who saw his first game action with the Mountaineers after an injury side-
lined him for the entirety of the 2017-18 season. Each of the three players received similar time to showcase their skills in the exhibition, playing 13, 15 and 17 minutes, respectively. According to head coach Bob Huggins, decisions relating to the guard rotation seem to balance a combination of basketball IQ and skill. “We told our point guards, ‘Don’t turn your back, this guy is really, really good at picking you,’” Huggins said about Penn State’s guard play versus his own. “He [an unnamed WVU guard] turns his back twice. He turns his back more than twice, but he got picked twice for layups.” “Those are crucial. We’re making runs at them then. I told them ‘Don’t throw a bounce pass.’ They threw bounce passes. That’s what they’re used to doing, but it’s not high school anymore.” Junior James “Beetle” Bolden has also been in consideration for the role but has been kept out of action due to a hand injury. Bolden has not seen action in any aspect during the current season, last seeing the court when Villanova eliminated the Mountaineers from the NCAA
tournament in March. “We’ve got a decent amount of guards — everyone brings something different to the table,” junior guard Chase Harler said. “I just think, moving forward, everyone just has to understand their role and not try to do too much and just do what is expected of them.” Last season, Bolden received the most starting minutes in Morgantown of the four, albeit not at the point guard spot. Haley averaged 22.5 minutes as a starting guard at Odessa College before transferring to WVU in the offseason. By throwing the youth of McCabe and the inexperience of Knapper into the mix, it makes for an interesting decision-making process for Huggins and the rest of the Mountaineer coaching staff as the regular season nears. While the Mountaineers will play their first regular season game on Friday against Buffalo, issues still have to be hashed out to give the team the best chance to succeed. “We just have so many new guys, there’s just a little bit of maybe a chemistry issue,” Harler said. “We’ll figure it out.”
