“The experience and knowledge gained from our international competitions have been instrumental in our development as a team and for our program. We were forced to adapt to many different styles of play and continually develop our team chemistry. And for many of our ladies, they have never been to another country. Each trip has been a tremendous cultural and soccer experience for our student-athletes.” - Nikki Izzo-Brown Head Coach 2016 The Mountaineers traveled to Barcelona and Paris May 7-16 during their fifth international tour. The squad competed in four friendly matches while exploring international spectacles like la Sagrada Familia and the Eiffel Tower. 2012 The Mountaineers’ fourth international tour featured a nine-day tour of Spain. West Virginia spent March 24-April 1, 2012, in Madrid and Barcelona. 2008 Billed as the trip of a lifetime, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team traveled to the Czech Republic and Italy for a 10-day spring break tour of Europe. The Mountaineers spent March 20-30, 2008, playing four games while exploring new cultures. 2004 During spring break 2004, West Virginia University took advantage of the NCAA rule that permits international travel once every four years by taking a 10-day tour of central and north-central Italy. 1999 The West Virginia women’s soccer team took its first foreign tour in the summer of 1999 by traveling to Brazil. The Mountaineers used the opportunity to showcase their infant program against some of the nation’s top professional teams. WVUWomensSoccer

“During my years at West Virginia University, I came to realize what many before me have understood – WVU is the best collegiate experience in the country. They maximized my talent as a soccer player and prepared me to succeed in the real world upon graduation. I have made lifelong friendships that form the basis for most of what makes the ‘Mountaineer Experience’ so valuable and rewarding.” – CHRISSIE ABBOTT (2000-03)

“From the moment I stepped on campus, it felt like home. The university embraces all that is WVU, from academics to athletics. The soccer team was beginning to build a tradition of strength, integrity and pride, and I knew everything Coach Izzo-Brown reflected on her players was the type of player I wanted to be.” – LAURA FINLEY (2000-03)

“As a member of the inaugural team, I look back and treasure the challenges I faced and the amazing opportunities throughout my four years. Not only was I able to capitalize on my skills at a high level of competition, I also learned a lot about myself from the leadership of coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. Overall, my experience is one I refer back to frequently in my everyday life as I continue on as a physical educator and soccer coach.” – RENA (LIPPA) LINDSAY (1996-98)

WV US P O R T S.CO M

“Being a student-athlete at West Virginia was one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made. Through hard work and goal setting, we surpassed expectations and always believed in one another. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and will always cherish my time wearing the Old Gold and Blue.” – NIKKI (GARZON) GOODENOW (1997-98)

“I am a better person for having West Virginia women’s soccer in my life. I wouldn’t change one single thing about my college experience. I’ll always be proud to be a Mountaineer.” – ANN (SORENSEN) ROSS (1996-99)

“WVU women’s soccer is a program built on hard work, commitment and passion. It also is a program that exemplifies the true meaning of a family, from the staff down to the fans.” CAROLINE SZWED (2009-13) WVUWomensSoccer

MOUNTAINEER WOMEN’S SOCCER

NIKKI » HEAD COACH » 24th YEAR DATE OF BIRTH: May 4 HOMETOWN: Rochester, N.Y. ALMA MATER: Rochester, 1993 YEAR AT WVU: 24TH COACHING CAREER: West Virginia Wesleyan, assistant coach, 1993; West Virginia Wesleyan, head coach, 1994; West Virginia University, 1996-present. RECORD AT WVU: 325-107-49 (.727) OVERALL RECORD: 338-112-49 (.726) PLAYING CAREER: (defender) Rochester, 1989-92

ntering her 24th season as the only coach in Mountaineer women’s soccer history, Nikki Izzo-Brown has built a one-time infant program into one of the nation’s elite teams. In 23 seasons, Izzo-Brown has coached 25 players who went on to play professionally, 24 All-Americans, 27 Academic and Scholar All-Americans, 22 conference players of the year, 17 Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy candidates and the 2016 Hermann Trophy award winner, the 2016 espnW National Player of the Year, two Olympic Bronze Medalists and FIFA Women’s World Cup participants and one FIFA Women’s World Cup Best Young Player honoree. The Mountaineers enter the program’s 24th season two years removed from the team’s best-ever season in 2016, as the squad made its first NCAA College Cup appearance and finished as the NCAA National Runner-Up. WVU has appeared in each of the last 19 NCAA Tournaments, the country’s fifth-longest streak. To date, Izzo-Brown has led the Mountaineers to an impressive 340111-53 overall record and a 141-44-21 conference mark that includes 10 regular-season titles and seven tournament championships, including the 2018 Big 12 Soccer Championship title. Dating back to its days in the Big East Conference, West Virginia has won at least one conference title in eight of the last nine seasons. The Mountaineers won the conference regular-season title in each of

their first five years as members of the Big 12, and a title sweep in 2016 was the third time the squad earned both championships. Women’s soccer won the school’s first Big 12 championship in 2012 and was the only WVU program to win multiple Big East Tournament titles. Izzo-Brown’s teams have been a consistent force in the national rankings and reached new levels in 2016, as the program earned its first national No. 1 ranking. WVU spent eight weeks ranked No. 1 nationally and was never ranked lower than No. 7. Additionally, WVU has defeated at least one top-10 opponent in 14 consecutive seasons. In addition to the success she has enjoyed with the Mountaineers, Izzo-Brown has several years of experience with U.S. Women’s National Teams, including serving as an assistant at the teams’ 2012 training camps with the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 squads. She also served as a scout for the 2017 U.S. U-20 squad. Izzo-Brown has never had a losing season as a head coach and has led WVU to 19 consecutive 10-plus win seasons. Additionally, she has earned 13 combined conference and regional coach of the year awards since 2000. 2018 SEASON The Mountaineers returned to the top of the Big 12 Conference in 2018, winning their ninth

league title with a 3-0 victory over No. 9 Baylor in the Big 12 Championship final on Nov. 4, at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri. WVU found itself in an unfamiliar position at the onset of the season, despite entering the campaign ranked No. 9 nationally, as the squad went 0-1-3 through its first four matches. With Izzo-Brown’s guidance, the Mountaineers finished their non-conference slate at 4-1 before opening conference play with a pair of 2-0 road wins at No. 22 Texas Tech and at No. 21 TCU. WVU would go on to also defeat No. 13 Texas, 2-1, and re-enter the national rankings at No. 16 following five weeks away before concluding the Big 12 campaign at 7-2. The Mountaineers earned a No. 2 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament, their 19th consecutive appearance, the fifthlongest active streak.

The 2017 season also marked the first time in program history the Mountaineers beat the nation’s top team in Morgantown, as WVU defeated No. 1 Penn State, 2-1, on Sept. 2, at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. With the victory, the Mountaineers improved to 2-2 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams. Midway through the season, the Mountaineers’ strength of schedule was rightfully ranked No. 1 nationally, as WVU faced at least one ranked opponent in each of the first six weeks of the campaign, a program first. WVU finished with multiple wins (2) against top-10 teams in back-to-back years for the first time in 22 years. The Mountaineers ranked within the top 10 of the United Soccer Coaches

Poll each week in 2017 and within the top 5 for four weeks. WVU ended the year ranked No. 10. WVU finished at 16-4-3 and 7-1-1 in the Big 12 Conference. The Mountaineers earned a No. 2 regional seed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament and advanced to the third round for the third consecutive season.

Midfielder Alli Magaletta was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team, marking the third straight season the Mountaineers earned Academic All-America accolades. Izzo-Brown’s 22nd season as the Mountaineers’ head coach concluded with another first, as Abam and Pierre-Louis were drafted No. 4 and No. 6 overall, respectively, by Sky Blue FC at the 2018 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) College Draft, marking the first time in program history two Mountaineers were drafted in the same year. 2015-16 SEASONS – A PROGRAM TURNS 20 AND REACHES NEW HEIGHTS Izzo-Brown led the Mountaineers to the NCAA College Cup for the first time in 2016. After defeating North Carolina, 1-0, in the semifinal, WVU fell, 3-1, to USC in the final to finish as the

NCAA National Runner-Up. The tournament appearance was the team’s 17th straight and first as a regional No. 1 seed. WVU’s run to the NCAA College Cup final included a 3-0-1 mark in tournament matches at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, including 1-0 wins over No. 5 Duke in the quarterfinal and Ohio State in a thrilling overtime match in the second round. Simply put, the 2016 Mountaineer squad was special. In addition to reaching the national final, WVU swept the Big 12 Conference titles, winning its fifth straight regular-season crown and third postseason title. The Mountaineers reached as high as No. 1 in the national polls, a position they held for eight weeks, and set program records for wins (23) and shutouts (18). Unbelievably, WVU did all this utilizing 10 different starting lineups. Regardless of personnel, WVU claimed wins over four top10 teams, its best single-season output. The Mountaineers finished with a 23-2-2 record and an 8-0 mark in the Big 12 Conference, the squad’s fourth undefeated season in five years. The team’s two defeats matched the program’s season low. Led by senior center back Kadeisha Buchanan, the program’s first MAC Hermann Trophy winner, the Honda Sport Award winner for soccer and the espnW National Player of the Year, the Mountaineer defense shut out 18 opponents, tops in the NCAA, and allowed just 12 opponent goals, none to a Big 12 opponent, posting the conference’s first-ever shut-out season. WVU finished the season ranked No. 5 nationally in shutout percentage (.667) and No. 8 in goals-against average (.432). The Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year for a recordsetting fifth straight season, Izzo-Brown coached three NSCAA All-Americans, a program high. Buchanan, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive year, earned her third straight first-team award and fourth career honor, becoming the first Mountaineer to earn All-America status in each season at WVU. Senior midfielder Ashley Lawrence, a Hermann Trophy semifinalist for the second straight season, was named to the first team for the second straight season, while Abam, the co-Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, was named to the second team.

The Mountaineers finished the year ranked No. 7. Led by Izzo-Brown, the WVU defense posted 15 shutouts, the thirdbest mark in the NCAA, and allowed just 11 goals and 44 corner kicks all year. WVU ended the season ranked No. 5 nationally in goalsagainst average (0.471) and shutout percentage (0.652). The 11 goals allowed were the fewest in program history. The Mountaineer offense also was spectacular, setting a program record with 61 goals.

The Best Young Player at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Buchanan and Lawrence, a Hermann Trophy semifinalist, were named to the NSCAA All-America First Team, marking the first time in program history two Mountaineers were selected as semifinalists for the Hermann Trophy and garnered All-America First Team honors.

The four conference road shutouts marked the first time in program history WVU denied each conference opponent a goal in its home arena. Izzo-Brown earned her third straight Big 12 Coach of the Year honor, while Buchanan scored her second consecutive Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honor and Abam was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.

The team continued its stronghold on its conference opponents with three shut-out victories at the 2013 Big 12 Soccer Tournament en route to the Mountaineers’ first Big 12 Conference Championship title, also the first for any WVU team at a Big 12 Conference Championship.

The Mountaineers finished the season ranked No. 9 by Soccer America and won 15 of their last 17 matches to close the season. The 2010 season was a record-breaking one as the team won its second Big East Championship while advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16. WVU had its then-school record 14-match win streak end in the NCAA Tournament against College Cup participant Boston College, giving the Mountaineers a final record of 18-5-1.

West Virginia’s defense set the thensingle-season record for shutouts at 14, while goalkeeper Kerri Butler also broke the school record for career shutouts, finishing with 44. 2005-09 SEASONS From 2005-09, the program reached new heights with consecutive NCAA appearances in every season and won its first Big East Championship. Izzo-Brown was named NSCAA/adidas and Soccer Buzz Mid-Atlantic Regional Coach of the Year in 2007 as WVU was ranked every week throughout the season and tied a then-school record for wins (18). The 2007 squad advanced to the program’s first NCAA Elite Eight while establishing an attendance record with more than 3,000 fans for the NCAA Elite Eight contest against USC. Three players earned All-America status and six were named All-Big East. Forward Ashley Banks added to IzzoBrown’s collection of major award winners as the 2007 Big East Offensive Player of the Year and a Hermann Trophy semifinalist. WVU won Big East division titles in three straight seasons (2006-08) and at least one

Mountaineer earned All-America honors from 2006-09. Carolyn Blank added the title of Big East Midfielder of the Year to her resume in 2008, a team that tied the then-school record for fewest losses in a season with just three defeats. Twelve seasons ago, Izzo-Brown took her highpowered offense to the 2006 NCAA Tournament as WVU scored a then-school-record 55 goals in 21 games. Forward Deana Everrett had a breakout sophomore season to earn All-America Third Team honors from Soccer Buzz. The 2006 Mountaineers also displayed a stingy defense that shut out 13 opponents over the course of the season, including eight Big East foes. 2000-04 SEASONS Led by All-Americans Chrissie Abbott and Lisa Stoia, the 2003 Mountaineers made history, going 17-4-2 to give West Virginia its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. The senior-led squad logged nine straight wins at one point during the season and had its first-ever Hermann Trophy nominee in Abbott, who graduated as WVU’s all-time leader in goals scored, points and shots, while Stoia established the school’s then-all-time assist record. Izzo-Brown directed West Virginia to an 18-3-1 record, at the time the most wins in school history, and the program’s first Big East division title in 2002. The Mountaineers also received their third consecutive invitation to the NCAA Tournament after putting together an 18-match unbeaten streak. Abbott was the Big East Offensive Player of the Year and a first team All-American, while Stoia earned Big East Midfielder of the Year honors. Izzo-Brown was the Big East and regional coach of the year. A youthful Mountaineer squad played to a fifth straight 15win season in 2004 and saw Izzo-Brown’s fourth All-America develop as forward Laura Kane

earned the nod from the NSCAA after an eight goal, nine assist senior season. West Virginia was nationally ranked for the first time in 2000, a regional coach of the year season for Izzo-Brown’s first-ever NCAA Tournament team. Four team members landed spots on Big East all-conference teams, including Big East Offensive Player of the Year Katie Barnes and co-Big East Rookie of the Year Stoia. In that season, Barnes became WVU’s first All-American. THE EARLY YEARS Izzo-Brown accepted perhaps her greatest challenge on Aug. 3, 1995, when then-WVU Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong named her the first head coach of West Virginia’s women’s soccer program. In WVU’s inaugural season, Izzo-Brown led a young team to an amazing 10-7-2 record and a 4-4-1 Big East mark. WVU finished fifth in the conference, surprising Big East coaches, whose preseason prediction picked the fledgling Mountaineers to finish last. Soccer Buzz ranked West Virginia as the eighth-best “new program” in the nation. Additionally, Izzo-Brown’s first season at WVU produced a Big East All-Rookie Team member in defender Stacey Sollmann. Only two years later, West Virginia made its first Big East Tournament with a team that won 11 matches in 1998. Stacey Adams was the program’s first Big East Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year winner, and Sollmann earned second team all-region accolades. Izzo-Brown led the Mountaineers to an 11-6-2 record in 1997, and two years later, they finished 9-9-1. With trust, hard work and sacrifice, the foundation had been laid for a breakout season in 2000.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS Graduation is a must for Izzo-Brown-coached players, who are asked to challenge themselves academically while at WVU. Her teams consistently hold one of the program’s highest GPAs on campus with their serious commitment to academics. The women’s soccer team received public recognition in the spring of 2017 for the fourth time in nine years by the NCAA for its multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The team posted a multiyear APR in the top-10 percent of all squads in each sport. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance. Izzo-Brown has coached 25 Academic AllAmericans and 14 United Soccer Coaches/NSCAA Scholar All-Americans. Additionally, the United Soccer Coaches honored her team in the fall of 2018 with its 17th consecutive NSCAA Team Academic Award for its work in the classroom. A program-record 13 Mountaineers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Soccer Team in 2018, while four freshmen landed on the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. Bianca St. Georges was named the 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America of the Year, giving WVU two honors in six seasons. She also was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team. Nine different WVU women’s soccer studentathletes have earned CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica honors, and the Mountaineers have collected nine awards in the last six seasons and 13 honors since 2001.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT With tremendous experience and knowledge of the game, Izzo-Brown has built a reputation for getting the most out of her student-athletes. The veteran coach maximizes the performance of her players by providing opportunities to process information in multiple ways in order to find success for each individual. Paving the way for the success of recent Mountaineers, Katie Barnes was the first women’s soccer player to be named an All-American and captured two straight Big East Offensive Player of the Year awards. In all, Izzo-Brown has guided 25 players to All-America status and 22 conference player of the year honors. Barnes was drafted with the first pick of the second round (ninth overall) of the 2002 Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) Draft by the Carolina Courage. WVU was well represented in the WUSA and added to its professional player development with the Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) league, and Frances Silva became the seventh Mountaineer to be drafted when she was selected by FC Kansas City with the 19th overall pick at the 2014 National Women’s Soccer League College Draft. Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence signed professional contracts in France in early 2017, with Buchanan playing for Olympique Lyonnais and Lawrence playing for Paris Saint-Germain. One year later, Michaela Abam and Amandine Pierre-Louis were drafted No. 4 and No. 6 overall by Sky Blue FC at the 2018 NWSL College Draft, marking the first time in program history two Mountaineers were drafted in the same season. In total, 80 percent of the

2017 senior class and 44 percent of the 2018 senior class signed professional contracts. During the 2012 offseason, Izzo-Brown served as an assistant at U.S. Women’s National Team training camps with the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 squads. In the summer of 2011, she joined April Heinrichs, U.S. Soccer Technical Director, for a week of training with the U-20 team. She also spent time after the 2007 season as an assistant coach with the U-20 National Team under thenhead coach Jill Ellis. During her coaching tenure, 40 Mountaineers have participated in the national team scene, with Barnes being selected to the team that won the 2001 Nordic Cup. Former Mountaineer Vanessa Flores was a member of the Mexican Women’s National Team, and Buchanan and Lawrence competed for Canada at the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cups, where Buchanan was named the Best Young Player in 2015. The duo also helped Canada claim Bronze at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic Games. PRIOR TO WVU As a player, Izzo-Brown attained All-America status at Rochester, where she was a four-year starter from 1989-92. During that span, IzzoBrown helped the Yellowjackets to a 58-10-9 record and four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. In 1991, as a junior, she led Rochester to a 16-4-2 mark and a spot in the NCAA championship game. During her career at Rochester, Izzo-Brown also earned All-East, all-region and all-league honors, while meriting Dean’s List recognition all four years. Following her senior campaign, she won the prestigious Merle Spurrier Award, which recognizes Rochester’s top female athlete based on leadership, academics and athletics. Izzo-Brown graduated from Rochester in the spring of 1993 with a degree in psychology. That fall, she was named assistant coach at West Virginia Wesleyan, where she continued her winning ways by helping the Bobcats to a 12-7 record. Izzo-Brown was elevated to head coach in 1994 and led Wesleyan to a 13-5 mark and a

Q&A WITH COACH NIKKI IZZO-BROWN Twelve players, including 11 freshmen, join your squad in 2019. How do you incorporate the new Mountaineers? Every year is a new season, but that’s especially true in 2019. We lost nine seniors from the 2018 squad, so I fully expect this to be a transition season for our program. I really believe in this freshman class. Each of them committed to this program because she wants to win championships. They want to help us continue in our quest to hoist three trophies each year. I know these young, talented players are going to come in and do everything they can to keep the tradition of success at our high standard. Though three-fifths of your backline graduated in 2018, All-American goalkeeper Rylee Foster returns for her senior campaign. How much will you rely on her experience this season to be your team’s quarterback? As a freshman, Rylee was an immediate starter for us, and she has gained so much experience over the last three years, both here in Morgantown and playing for Canada internationally. She will be vital to our success this season. She knows what our standard is, and she has to be ready to be our anchor and maintain our high standards. Conversely, she will have to be the voice of reason, as our younger players haven’t experienced collegiate soccer yet. RYLEE FOSTER

Of your returning players, who are you hoping to see emerge as a leader this year? Senior forward Jade Gentile and junior forward Lauren Segalla return with a lot of playing experience, and I believe they’ll step up as leaders this season. Junior midfielder Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel should also be a good leader for us, especially when you consider what she brought to the playing field last season in terms of her goals and assists. Beyond those three, you have (sophomores) Jordan Brewster and Addison Clark who came in last season and contributed in different ways. You’ve had a lot of success with transfers in recent seasons, and this year, senior midfielder Jessica Lisi joins your team after three years at Memphis. Do you expect her to have an immediate impact?

JADE GENTILE

Definitely. We got to see Jess play a lot throughout the spring; she’s a versatile and experienced player. She won championships at Memphis, and she’s experienced the NCAA Tournament. She has vital experience collegiately plus an international resume. We’re hopeful for her this season.

WV USP O R T S.CO M

As you enter the season, your 2019 slate ranks as one of the toughest nationally. You never shy away from a difficult schedule – how do you view this year’s list of opponents? It’s going to be a really big challenge. There’s no hiding this year. We know the opponents we will face will challenge us in every way – mentally, physically, technically and tactically. We’re doing everything we can at this point to make sure we understand those challenges and to prepare ourselves. You reclaimed the Big 12 Soccer Championship in 2018. Each season, you continue to marvel at the improvement of your league opponents and how tough this conference is – what challenges are you expecting from them this year? When you look at the RPI of the Big 12 in 2018, we were the best in the country. That speaks so much to what this conference is doing nationally. We know every team is getting better, and we know how impactful each of these teams can be. We understand how difficult the Big 12 portion of our schedule will be, as we play in one of the best leagues in the country.

You enter the 2019 season 10 wins short of program win No. 350. How do you use such a big milestone to motivate this team? I think every team likes to hit milestones. I think this team would love to grab that milestone and maintain success. I do think if they hit their goal of winning a championship, they can claim this milestone. I think they’ll cherish that opportunity and push toward success. I know they want to maintain our standard of excellence. At the onset of the season, how do you define success for this 2019 team? We will be successful if we get better every day, maintain our focus and keep our team goals in front of us. It’s always hard to measure success with just championships even though that’s what we’re supposed to do. If this team becomes the best it can be every day, then we’ll be successful and reach our potential.

In 2018, Stoia aided the Mountaineers’ climb back to champion status, as WVU claimed the Big 12 Soccer Championship title in November with a 3-0 showing at the league tournament, capped by a 3-0 victory over No. 9 Baylor in the title match. The title was the team’s 17th conference championship and ninth in Big 12 play. WVU finished the season with a 15-4-4 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Nationally ranked seven weeks throughout the season, the Mountaineers peaked at No. 8 and finished the year at No. 14. The Mountaineer offense produced 46 goals and 35 assists in 2018, with midfielder Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel finishing second on the team with 14 points and third on the team with six goals.

Her 10th season as an assistant to coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, the Mountaineers also swept the Big 12 regularseason and championship titles for the third time in four years.

WVU Quick Facts

MOUNTAINEER WOMEN’S SOCCER

2019 PRE-SEASON IT STARTS WITH FOSTER

Senior goalkeeper Rylee Foster is both the most experienced and most decorated player returning for the Mountaineers in 2019. A native of Cambridge, Ontario, Foster has started all 63 career matches she has been available for between the posts. She shows a career goalsagainst average (GAA) of 0.55, which ranks No. 1 in program history. She also ranks No. 3 in program history with 31 career shutouts and No. 4 with 5,765:49 minutes played. Last season, Foster earned credit for 11 of the team’s 12 clean sheets and posted a 0.55 GAA en route to 2018 United Soccer Coaches All-America Third Team accolades. She was the first Mountaineer goalkeeper to earn an All-America award. A Missouri Athletic Conference (MAC) Hermann Trophy candidate, she also was named to the All-Big 12 First Team and the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team. A three-year member of the Canadian U-20 Women’s National Team, she was a finalist for the 2018 CONCACAF Female Goalkeeper of the Year award.

NOTEBOOK

A handful of Mountaineers are waiting to step up for the team this season, including junior midfielder Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel, who finished second on the team in points (14) and goals (6) while playing off the bench for the final 16 matches. Senior forward Jade Gentile also is expected to assume a larger role on the squad after playing in 59 career matches. A pair of sophomore forwards should also see more playing time in 2019. Alina Stahl returns from injury, which forced her to miss the final eight matches of the season. Before she was sidelined, Stahl recorded six points (2 G, 2 A). Lizzie Mayfield also returns after playing in 21 matches off the bench and recording six points (1 G, 4 A).

NEWCOMERS TO PLAY BIG ROLE

The Mountaineers will welcome 13 newcomers in 2019, including senior midfielder transfer Jessica Lisi. A three-year letterwinner at Memphis, Lisi helped the Tigers win the American Athletic Conference (AAC)

Championship Crown in 2018. A twotime All-AAC Second Team honoree, she finished fourth on the team last year with 13 points (5 G, 3 A). Lisi also previously played for the Canadian Women’s Soccer U-20 National Team. Lisi and four additional Mountaineers arrived in Morgantown in January: forward Enzi Broussard (Dallas, Texas), midfielder Juliana Lynch (Baltimore, Maryland) and defenders Gabby Robinson (Springfield, Virginia) and Jillian Smalls (Ellicott City, Maryland). Also donning the Gold and Blue for the first time this season are: Stephanie Chmiel (Morgantown, West Virginia), Gabby Hollar (West Liberty, Ohio), Kayza Massey (Ottawa, Ontario), Nicole Payne (Birmingham, Alabama), Aaliyah Scott (Pickering, Ontario), Courtney Smith (Fayetteville, West Virginia) and Julianne Vallerand (Terrebonne, Quebec).

NO EASY OUTS

The Mountaineers’ 18-match slate features 10 teams that qualified for

HOLES TO FILL

With the graduation of seven starters from the 2018 roster, the Mountaineers have lineup needs in front of senior goalkeeper Rylee Foster. Sophomore outside back Jordan Brewster is the lone defensive returner. A 2018 All-Big 12 Second Team and All-Big 12 Freshman Team honoree, she helped the backline record 12 shutouts as a rookie. Additionally, she finished the year with eight points (2 G, 4 A). Sophomore Addison Clark returns at midfield for the Mountaineers following an All-Big 12 Freshman Team campaign in 2018. Clark’s lone goal as a rookie was a game-winner, as she scored in WVU’s 3-0 victory over Xavier on Aug. 30, the team’s first win of the season. Junior forward Lauren Segalla returns up top after recording 14 points (5 G, 4 A) in 23 starts last year; her point and assist totals ranked No. 2 on the team. A 2018 Big 12 Championship AllTournament Team honoree, three of her five scores were game-winners, also the second-best total on the team.

the 2018 NCAA Tournament, including meetings against a pair of College Cup qualifiers in the first month of the season. In total, WVU will kick against four teams that advanced to the 2018 NCAA Tournament Fourth Round: Stanford (College Cup), Georgetown (College Cup), Penn State (quarterfinals) and Baylor (quarterfinals). “As promised annually, we have put together another challenging schedule, and we believe this year may be our toughest test yet,” Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “These matches will show this team where we stand nationally. We will have a young squad in 2019, and this slate will show us where we need to develop as we progress toward Big 12 play. “This season is all about development, and this schedule should help ensure that we are playing our best at the end of the year. We’re going to grow into the best we can be in 2019.” WVU will play 11 matches at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, including five against Big 12 Conference opponents.

BACK TO THE HUNTED

The Mountaineers returned to champion status in 2018, as WVU claimed the Big 12 Soccer Championship title with a 3-0 win over No. 9 Baylor on Nov. 4, in Kansas City, Missouri. The title was WVU’s ninth since joining the Big 12 Conference in 2012 and first since winning the tournament crown in 2016. The Mountaineers have earned four Big 12 Soccer Championship titles and five regular-season championships, the last also in 2016. Including their years in the Big East Conference, the Mountaineers’ conference title count now stands at 17.

PROGRAM MILESTONE LOOMS

The Mountaineers enter the 2019 season, the program’s 24th, needing 10 victories to reach program win No. 350. The only coach in women’s soccer history, Nikki Izzo-Brown returns to lead WVU after securing career win No. 350 in 2018. Previously the head coach at West Virginia Wesleyan (1994), Izzo-Brown shows a 353-116-53 career coaching record. In 24 seasons, the Mountaineers have qualified for 19 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, the fifth-longest streak nationally, and won 17 conference titles. WVU has advanced to at least the third round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four years and reached as high as the NCAA College Cup Final in 2016.

MOUNTAINEER WOMEN’S SOCCER

A BLUEPRINT FOR

SUCCESS A 12-YEAR PLAN

The 2003 Mountaineers celebrate a goal.

When Nikki Izzo-Brown was hired as the first women’s soccer coach at West Virginia University in the fall of 1995, her eyes glistened with visions for the future of Mountaineer women’s soccer. In four seasons, having had one complete recruiting class come to fruition, she thought West Virginia could make the coveted NCAA tournament. In five years, she anticipated the Mountaineers would be contending for a Big East championship. Her vision was nearly prophetic. It took five years for the Mountaineers to make their first appearance in the NCAA tournament and six for WVU to earn a spot in the Big East championship match. Then in 2007, 12 years into its existence, West Virginia won its first Big East tournament and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight. With 12 years in the books, the history of West Virginia women’s soccer was by no means lengthy, but it is certainly storied. Women’s soccer was born at West Virginia on March 1, 1995, when WVU Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong announced that the sport would be added for the 1996 season. Later that year, on Aug. 3, Izzo-Brown was asked to take the reins and develop the West Virginia women’s soccer program. Having spent the past two seasons at Division II West Virginia Wesleyan, first as an assistant, but eventually as the head coach, it was a challenge she was eager to accept. “When I first came to West Virginia,” Izzo-Brown said, “I felt that the combination of athletic tradition at WVU and athletic department support for the program would bring nothing but success. “I thought that the Big East was a soccer conference and that we could build a program at West Virginia that would be successful on a yearly basis.”

Success came early and often in IzzoBrown’s first year at WVU, despite the fact that the Big East preseason coaches poll tabbed the Mountaineers as potential last place finishers. Although the Mountaineers lost their inaugural match 3-0 at Rutgers, they rebounded to beat Providence 4-0 in their first home match in front of 2,000 fans at Mountaineer Field. West Virginia would win nine more games in its inaugural season, four of which were Big East matches, en route to a final 10-7-2 record that assured Izzo-Brown her first winning season as a Division I coach. At the Big East awards banquet that November, Mountaineer defender Stacey Sollmann was named to the conference’s all-rookie team, making her the first women’s soccer player in West Virginia history to earn postseason honors. In 1997, the Mountaineer Soccer Complex opened and after one season as a varsity sport, the women’s soccer team had a field of its own. The Mountaineers won their first match at the new stadium, defeating Duquesne, 1-0, in the second game of the season. West Virginia boasted a 7-2-1 record in front of home crowds in 1997 before finishing the season 11-6-2 and in fifth place in the Big East. West Virginia went 11-6-2 for the secondstraight season and earned its first postseason berth in 1998. The Mountaineers defeated conference rival Pitt, 2-0, in the last game of the regular season to earn a spot in the Big East tournament. The season would end there, however, as Notre Dame upended WVU, 5-0. West Virginia earned a 9-9-1 record in 1999 before having a breakout season in 2000. That year, the Mountaineers won 15 games and saw the emergence of a star player. Katie Barnes, a junior forward from Mason, Ohio, claimed the spotlight, as she led

the Mountaineers in nearly every offensive category throughout the season. She finished the year with 17 goals and nine assists for a school record 43 points. For her outstanding efforts that season, Barnes was named Big East Offensive Player of the Year, making her the first West Virginia women’s soccer player to earn a major conference award. Barnes also became West Virginia’s first All-American in 2000, a Soccer Buzz third-team selection. On September 20, West Virginia appeared in the Top 25 of a major national poll for the first time. After opening the season 7-1, the Mountaineers were the 24th-ranked team in the country according to Soccer Buzz as they headed into conference play. West Virginia split its conference matches, going an even 3-3 during the regular season. After a one-year hiatus from the Big East tournament, the Mountaineers faced off against the Connecticut Huskies in the first round. WVU was unable to score a goal in the match, however, and Connecticut advanced to the semifinal round with a 1-0 win. Because of its regular season success, however, West Virginia earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. WVU traveled to Richmond for a first-round match against the Spiders. Richmond emerged victorious, defeating the Mountaineers 5-1. At the season’s end, Izzo-Brown was named region coach of the year by the NSCAA. In addition to the accolades earned by Barnes and Izzo-Brown in 2000, midfielders Lisa Stoia and Rachel Kruze earned all-Mid-Atlantic region honors as well. Stoia also was named Big East co-Rookie of the Year for her play as a freshman. In her first season as a Mountaineer, Stoia developed into a deadly play-maker from the center of the field. Over the course of the season, she assisted on six of the team’s 39 goals, while Kruze, a sophomore, complemented Stoia in the midfield, adding six more assists.

Building on the success of the previous season, West Virginia continued its winning ways in 2001. With Barnes leading the way, the Mountaineers again won 15 games. That season, the Mountaineers went 4-1-1 in the Big East, good enough for a second-place midAtlantic division finish. West Virginia recorded wins over Big East foes Syracuse, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Miami, but none was sweeter than the program’s first-ever win over Connecticut. Having defeated Miami in the quarterfinal round of the Big East tournament, West Virginia advanced to the semifinals for the first time in program history. Waiting for them there were the Huskies. A traditional conference and national soccer power, Connecticut owned a 6-0-0 all-time record against the Mountaineers. At the 29:03 mark, West Virginia sophomore Chrissie Abbott, on an assist from Stoia, beat UConn goalkeeper Shanna Caldwell to give the Mountaineers a 1-0 lead. It would be the only goal scored in the match as WVU held on for its first-ever win over Connecticut. The loss was devastating, but not quite as shocking as falling to Miami (Ohio) in the first round of that season’s NCAA tournament. Hosting the first and second rounds at the Mountaineer Soccer Complex, West Virginia took on the Redhawks in the first round and was defeated 1-0 on a penalty kick. West Virginia finished the season 15-5-1. Postseason honors were abundant that year as Barnes earned her second-consecutive conference offensive player of the year award and Izzo-Brown was named Big East Coach of the Year. For the second-straight season, Barnes was named All-American, earning first-team honors from the NSCAA and second-team recognition from Soccer Buzz. Stoia and Abbott also received conference and national recognition. With the taste of unfinished business laying sourly in their mouths, the Mountaineers set out in 2002 with something to prove. For

years, it seemed, they were right there, in and out of games with soccer powerhouses. For the previous three seasons, West Virginia had suffered one-goal losses to teams the caliber of Connecticut, Notre Dame and Virginia. In 2002, that all changed. The Mountaineers racked up a nine-game win streak and an 18-match unbeaten streak on their way to the program’s first-ever regular season title. Going 5-0-1 in conference play, the Mountaineers notched the program’s first victory, 3-0, over rival Notre Dame on Oct. 6, at the Mountaineer Soccer Complex. Earlier in the season, West Virginia won at 10th-ranked Virginia, 2-1, to earn WVU’s first victory over a Top 10 program. The Mountaineers entered their third consecutive Big East tournament having shut out their last six opponents. Facing St. John’s in the quarterfinal match, West Virginia extended its shutout streak to seven with a 4-0 win over the Red Storm. The Mountaineers defeated Rutgers, 3-2, in the semifinal match and advanced to the championship match for the second straight year, this time against Connecticut. The end result was the same, however, as WVU was edged by the Huskies, 1-0, on a penalty kick. Once again, hosting the NCAA tournament in Morgantown, West Virginia faced Loyola (Md.) in first-round action. The Mountaineers scored three goals, defeating Loyola, 3-0, to earn their first-ever NCAA tournament victory. WVU’s season ended in the next round, however, when it fell to Virginia, 1-0. Picking up where former teammate Katie Barnes left off, junior forward Chrissie Abbott had a record breaking season in 2002. The North Olmstead, Ohio, native scored 20 goals and dished out seven assists for 47 points, breaking the previous records set by Barnes in 2000. She was named Big East Offensive Player of the Year, a first team All-American by both the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz and was a finalist for Soccer Buzz’s Player of the Year award.

Additionally, Abbott was named one of Soccer America’s 11 most valuable players of 2002. Nikki Izzo-Brown was once again named Big East Coach of the Year as well as Soccer Buzz and NSCAA regional coach of the year, while Stoia earned Big East Midfielder of the Year honors. The 2002 season saw the Mountaineers attain their highest national ranking ever, No. 4 by Soccer Buzz, a spot West Virginia held for two-straight weeks at the close of the regular season. Led by Abbott and Stoia, the 2003 Mountaineers again made history. Going 174-2, West Virginia notched key road wins over Connecticut, its first-ever over the Huskies at Morrone Stadium, and SEC-power Tennessee, and earned a trip to the Sweet 16 for the first time ever. The Mountaineers tied the record they set the season before, logging nine-straight wins at one point during the season. WVU went 4-1-1 in conference play and faced St. John’s for the second-straight season in the Big East quarterfinal match. The Mountaineers advanced past the Red Storm, but fell short of reaching their third straight championship match when Villanova slid past WVU on penalty kicks in the semifinal. West Virginia, in the NCAA tournament for the fourth-straight year, defeated Loyola (Md.), 4-2, in the opening round and routed Ohio State, 3-0, in the second to earn the program’s first berth in the Sweet 16. In Morgantown, the Mountaineers drew Florida State for their Sweet 16 match. Down 2-0 at the half, WVU battled back and sent the game into overtime at 2-2. With under 30 seconds remaining in the second overtime, the Seminoles broke the West Virginia defense for the game-winning score. At the season’s end, WVU had its first-ever Hermann Trophy nominee in Abbott and both she and Stoia had firmly planted themselves as two of the greatest to ever don the Old Gold and Blue. Together, they rewrote the record books and helped to build a national powerhouse with each game they played. Abbott graduated as WVU’s all-time leader in goals scored, points and shots leader, while Stoia grabbed the school’s all-time assist record. Both were All-Americans in 2003, and together they set the West Virginia mark for games played and games started, each starting 87 matches in their careers. Having lost Abbott and Stoia to graduation, a young Mountaineer squad entered the 2004 season, its first in Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, looking to build upon the success of 2003. Led by senior forward Laura Kane, the Mountaineers posted their fifth-straight 15win season and earned a fifth-consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament as well. @WVUWomensSoccer

MOUNTAINEER WOMEN’S SOCCER and led the league in scoring through the regular season on a team that set the school record for goals with 55. West Virginia rolled to an 8-2-1 league record and advanced to the Big East semifinals before making its seventh consecutive NCAA tournament appearance in November. The Mountaineers produced the finest season in school history in 2007, winning both the Big East regular season and tournament titles, and advancing to the NCAA Elite Eight. Soccer Buzz and NSCAA regional coach of the year Izzo-Brown guided six Mountaineers to all-conference honors and three players earned All-America accolades.

WVU advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2007.

The 2004 season was highlighted by total team play. Injuries seemed to be a consistent theme throughout the year, yet somehow a different Mountaineer always rose to the challenge and helped bring her team to victory. For the first time since 1999, the Big East wasn’t broken into divisions and the Mountaineers went 7-4-0 in league play before finishing the year with a 15-6-0 record. WVU was sent to Texas for the 2005 NCAA tournament and faced teams from the Big 12 and Sunbelt Conferences for the first time in school history. West Virginia downed Southern Methodist, 2-1, in the opening round and fell to Texas, 2-1, to close out its ninth season of collegiate competition. Freshman Ashley Banks emerged as the most productive freshman in WVU history, notching more goals, assists and points than any newcomer before her. At the season’s end she became the second Mountaineer to earn Big East Rookie of the Year honors (Lisa Stoia, 2000). Junior Marisa Kanela and senior Ashley Weimer joined the freshman on the allconference second-team. Kane was named first team all-Big East and became the Mountaineers’ fourth All-American in four years when the NSCAA named her a thirdteam honoree. Additionally, both her and Weimer were named Scholar All-Americans.

The Mountaineers found success in Big East competition, narrowly missing a spot in the conference championship match after falling 1-0 to Connecticut with minutes left in the second overtime period. But, a sixth-straight trip to the NCAA tournament awaited. WVU downed Hofstra in the first round, giving junior goalkeeper Lana Bannerman the career shutouts record with a 3-0 victory before falling to Final-Four participant Penn State in the second round. Individual accolades were once again abundant with five being named to an allconference team (Marisa Kanela - first team; Ashley Banks and Amanda Cicchini - second team; Lana Bannerman and Kambria Riggins third team). Kanela, Cicchini and Riggins also earned all-region honors from Soccer Buzz and the NSCAA. Cicchini also claimed Freshman AllAmerica recognition from Soccer Buzz. Izzo-Brown’s 11th season running the program in 2006 saw a youthful Mountaineer squad with just two seniors go 14-4-3 and win the Big East American Division title. WVU picked up a key road win at No. 7 Penn State on its way to an 8-0-2 start. Sophomore forward Deana Everrett, a Soccer Buzz third team All-American, emerged onto the scene

Forward Ashley Banks was a finalist for the 2007 Soccer Buzz National Player of the Year and a semifinalist for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. The forward’s 15 goals and 38 points as a senior were the most-ever by a senior women’s soccer player. She graduated with rankings in the top five all-time in three major offensive categories – 34 goals (3rd), 26 assists (3rd) and 94 points (3rd). Banks collected numerous honors, including Soccer Buzz second team All-America, NSCAA third team All-America, first team all-Big East, the Big East co-Offensive Player of the Year, an NSCAA Scholar All-American and an ESPN The Magazine first team Academic All-American. Defender Greer Barnes helped the Mountaineer defense tie a school record with 13 shutouts. She became the first defender in school history to earn first team all-Big East honors and was named a second team NSCAA All-American. Amanda Cicchini, a two-time NSCAA allregion selection, was awarded second team NSCAA All-America honors and first team all-Big East as a junior. The three-time all-league midfielder was also named to the all-tournament team at the 2007 Big East Championship. Since the program’s birth in 1996, the Mountaineers have had 21 consecutive nonlosing seasons, and with a coaching staff that consistently recruits some of the nation’s top soccer talent, the years that continue to go by will continue to write their own story.

A streak that began in September of 2002 ran 29 consecutive weeks until Nov. 1, 2004, and saw West Virginia ranked in the national Top 25 for nearly three complete seasons. The toughest schedule in program history awaited the Mountaineers in 2005, and at the season’s end, West Virginia had played six ranked teams in 19 matches, including eventual national champion Portland. WVU went undefeated at home for the second time, going 7-0-0, but played the majority of its games on the road, where they battled fatigue and unfamiliar surroundings en route to a 12-6-3 final mark.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

SHANE

LYONS ASSOCIATE VICE-PRESIDENT

n his fifth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletic program is crystal clear and working. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the day-to-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has energized an entire department, which has led to great success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff. He devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. Lyons’ Climbing Higher facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the student-athlete. It’s an aggressive $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values, which is enhancing the student-athlete experience. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for future success, building winning programs and growing WVU’s strong reputation across the country. He is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear-view mirror. In 2019, West Virginia recorded its highest APR score ever at 985 and again finished higher than the national average. The overall athletics department GPA was its highest at 3.26 with 13 teams over a 3.0 GPA for the year. Lyons commissioned and announced an Economic Impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s department will assist with the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU’s swimming and diving program, but also local high schools and the entire community. Among the Mountaineer highlights in the 2019 campaign were 43 All-Americans, 81 All-Conference performers, three conference championships, 159 Academic AllConference selections, seven teams to the NCAA postseason, a fourth-place finish for the Heisman Trophy and 22 professional draft picks among all sports. In addition, Lyons’ department hosted for the first time in history both the NCAA Rifle Championships and the Big 12 golf championship as well as the NCAA baseball regionals for the first time since 1955. In total, WVU athletics hosted more than 160 events during the 2018-19 season. From 2015-18, he spearheaded and finished more than $100 million in fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum, completed a second phase Coliseum renovations, bringing the arena up to current ADA seating code, and for the first-time ever, introduced a second video board to Milan Puskar Stadium to provide information and improve fan entertainment. Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $93 million and 250 employees, under Lyons’ leadership, WVU athletics has implemented a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit with a full-time director and professional interns, added specialized learning assistants to the Student-Athlete Development unit and entered into a partnership with WVU Medicine’s Neuroscience Department to assist in the training and recovery of student-athletes, all emphasizing his overall commitment to the well-being and performance of Mountaineer student-athletes. Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and he can tell you his vision to improve it not only for the coming year, but for three, five, seven and 10 years down the road. He cares, and the proof lies in what he has already accomplished in four years. The director hates to be last, and he rolls up his sleeves every day to make sure WVU is not last in anything. Additionally, his work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team, as well as the Big 12 Conference and other national committees, has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He currently serves on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee. In 2018, he chaired the overall athletic directors committee for the Big 12, was named again to the NCAA Division I Council and will serve as chair of the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee. He is also a member of the college football competition committee and locally serves on the board of directors for Mylan Park i n Morgantown. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama where he worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership and direction of the Crimson Tide Athletic program. During his time at Alabama, his responsibilities included oversight of a $120 million budget, management of the day-to-day operations of the department and oversight of the Crimson Tide’s 21 sports teams. In addition, he played a pivotal role in a historic renegotiation of Alabama’s multimedia rights agreement that started in 2014 and was involved in several significant capital projects totaling more than $85 million. The Crimson Tide won seven national titles in five different sports during his time there – two in football, two in men’s golf, one in women’s golf, one in gymnastics and one in softball. He also played a critical role in the hiring of four Alabama head coaches. Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on

conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in matters dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a member of the football team at Akron and Brooke attends Morgantown High School.
