STUDENT-ATHLETE TESTIMONIES

CHELSEY CORROTO (2008-11)

“She calls herself Aunt Nikki because she really is a mother-figure to us. I feel comfortable talking to her about anything and everything. She is a very open and understanding. I wouldn’t trade my four years playing for her for anything in the world. I’m a better person because of Nikki Izzo-Brown.”

CATHY ABEL (2003-06) “I chose to play soccer at WVU because of my aspiration to be a part of one of the most competitive programs in the country. Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and her staff built an infant program into a top 10 power.”

WVUSPORTS.COM

MAURA CIRILLI (2001-04) “Led by Nikki Izzo-Brown and her coaching staff, the fierce competition, team training, and grueling conditioning sessions on top of academic responsibility… they prepared us not only for matches, but for life after graduation.”

CHRISSIE ABBOTT (2000-03) “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.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE TESTIMONIES

LAURA FINLEY (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.”

RENA (LIPPA) LINDSAY (1996-98) “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.”

WVUSPORTS.COM

NIKKI (GARZON) GOODENOW (1997-98) “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.”

CAROLINE SZWED (2009-13) “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.”

Following the conclusion of the season, Ferrer-vanGinkel signed a professional contract with Tigres UANL Feminil, a member of Liga MX, the top tier of the Mexican women’s soccer league. Ferrer-vanGinkel became Izzo-Brown’s 30th professional player at West Virginia.

» HEAD COACH • 26TH SEASON Entering her 26th 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 25 seasons, Izzo-Brown has coached 30 players who went on to play professionally, 25 All-Americans, 28 Academic and Scholar All-Americans, 22 conference players of the year, 19 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 26th season five 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 21 NCAA Tournaments, the country’s fifth-longest streak. To date, Izzo-Brown has led the Mountaineers to an impressive 362-122-56 overall record and a 153-4623 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 11 seasons. The Mountaineers won the conference regular-season title in each of their first five years as members of the Big 12 (2012-16), 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 15 of the last 16 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 21 consecutive

2020-21 Season

Despite navigating one of the most unusual seasons in the program’s history due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Izzo-Brown’s Mountaineers once again reached national prominence in 202021. The squad played a two-part season, with Big 12 Conference action taking place in the fall and nonconference competition being held off until the spring. West Virginia beat seven of its nine Big 12 opponents and used an undefeated spring slate, as well as a pair of wins over top-10 foes, to earn the No. 5 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. WVU extended its streak to 21 consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament, which is the fifth-longest in the country. The Mountaineers finished the year 10-3-1 overall, including 7-2 in conference play, surpassing the 10-win threshold for the 21st straight season. West Virginia ranked as high as No. 4 in the United Soccer Coaches poll, and the squad extended its win streak over top-10 foes to 15 of the last 16 seasons. Izzo-Brown coached the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year for the fifth time in the last six seasons, as Jordan Brewster garnered her first career conference player of the year award. Brewster, Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel and Alina Stahl were selected to the All-Big 12 First Team and United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Team,

WVU ranked as high as No. 11 during the course of the season. Playing with a big group of promising up-and-comers infused with several key veterans, two Mountaineers – Jordan Brewster and Rylee Foster – were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team at season’s end, while freshmen Enzi Broussard and Nicole Payne landed on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. Additionally, Brewster and Foster were named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Second Team, while Foster also appeared on the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List for the second consecutive season. In the classroom, nine players were named to the 2019 Academic All-Big 12 Team, including six on the first team. West Virginia took on 10 opponents which reached the NCAA Tournament and nine that appeared in the top 25, including eventual National Champion, Stanford. The squad’s victory over TCU in the regular-season finale marked the program’s 350th victory.

2018 Season

proved 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 earned a No. 2 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament, their 19th consecutive appearance, the fifth-longest active streak. WVU bowed out in the second round following a 2-2 draw (5-6 PKs) to Wake Forest. WVU spent eight weeks ranked in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and finished the season at No. 14. Additionally, the Mountaineer backline posted 12 shutouts and allowed 12 opponents goals for a 0.541 goals-against average (GAA), the 11th-best mark nationally.

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.

Senior defender Bianca St. Georges was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, extending WVU’s streak to seven seasons with a Mountaineer claiming the honor. A conference-best eight Mountaineers claimed All-Big 12 honors, including first-team recognitions for St. Georges, goalkeeper Rylee Foster, forward Sh’Nia Gordon and defender Easther Mayi Kith. Gordon was named the Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Offensive Player, and Mayi Kith was named the Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Defensive Player. At season’s end, St. Georges and Foster, WVU’s 11th and 12th Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy candidates, were named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Second and Third Teams, respectively. Foster’s honor was the first for a WVU netminder. St. Georges also was named to the Senior CLASS Award All-America First Team and won the Google Cloud Academic All-America of the Year Award for Division I women’s soccer, the second Mountaineer since 2013 to earn the nation’s highest academic honor. She also was named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America First Team, while Mayi Kith landed on the third team. Four Mountaineer seniors signed professional contracts following their time at WVU. St. Georges and midfielder Grace Cutler were drafted No. 20 and No. 22 at the 2019 NWSL College Draft, while Mayi Kith signed with Montpellier HSC and Gordon signed with FC Metz.

2017 Season

Following the most successful season in program history, Izzo-Brown and the Mountaineers entered the 2017 campaign ranked No. 1 in the United Soccer Coaches Preseason Poll, WVU’s first-ever preseason No. 1 ranking. 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 im-

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. WVU’s backline posted 13 shutouts and ranked No. 20 nationally with a 0.565 shutout percentage. For the sixth consecutive year, a Mountaineer claimed the Big 12’s top defensive honor, as Amandine Pierre-Louis was named the co-Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. Additionally, a conference-best eight players claimed All-Big 12 honors, including first-team recognitions for Pierre-Louis, St. Georges and forward Michaela Abam. The 10th Mountaineer named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, Abam was named a semifinalist for the prestigious award, WVU’s ninth since 2003. Along with Pierre-Louis, she also was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Second Team. Abam was the fifth Mountaineer in four years to be named a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award before landing on the Senior CLASS Award All-America Second Team. St. Georges led the way in the classroom, as she was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team, as well as the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America Second Team. 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 by utilizing 10 different starting lineups. Regardless of personnel, WVU claimed wins over four top-10 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 record-setting 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. Buchanan and Lawrence also were named to the Senior CLASS Award All-America First and Second Teams, respectively. Senior defender Carly Black and St. Georges collected CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, with Black named to the second team and St. Georges landing on the third team. Additionally, six Mountaineers collected a conference-best seven All-Big 12 honors. At season’s end, Buchanan and Lawrence inked professional contracts in France, with Buchanan signing with Olympique Lyonnais and Lawrence signing with Paris Saint-Germain. Izzo-Brown made sure the Mountaineers’ 20th season in 2015 was a year to remember, as she led WVU back to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals, the squad’s second appearance and first since 2007.

2010-11 Seasons

The 2010-11 seasons marked the end of an era as the Mountaineers won back-to-back Big East Championships before departing for membership in the Big 12 Conference. It also marked the third conference title in a five-season span. West Virginia finished the 2011 season with a 17-5-0 record, and a 10-1-0 mark in league play, to win its division for the fifth time.

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 high-powered 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 15-win 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 26 Academic All-Americans and 14 United Soccer Coaches/NSCAA Scholar All-Americans. Additionally, the United Soccer Coaches honored her team in the fall of 2020 with its 19th consecutive NSCAA Team Academic Award for its work in the classroom. 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. Ten different WVU women’s soccer student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and the Mountaineers have collected ten awards in the last eight seasons and 14 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 26 players to All-America status and 23 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. 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.

STOIA

» SENIOR ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH • 15TH SEASON With nearly two decades of coaching experience to her name, Lisa Stoia begins her 15th season with the Mountaineer soccer program at her alma mater. An integral cog in the emergence of the Mountaineers’ presence on the national stage, Stoia has helped guide WVU to multiple Big 12 and Big East titles, as well as 14 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament and the 2016 NCAA College Cup Final. In 2020-21, Stoia helped the Mountaineer women’s soccer team find success in one of the most unusual seasons in the team’s history due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team played a two-part season, split between the fall and spring, and used an undefeated spring slate to earn its 21st consecutive NCAA Tournament bid. The Mountaineers grabbed the No. 5 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament after finishing the year 10-3-1 and beating a top-10 foe for the 15th time in the last 16 seasons. West Virginia ranked as high as No. 4 in the United Soccer Coaches poll in 2020-21. Jordan Brewster was named the 2020 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, as she became the fifth Mountaineer to collect the award in the last six seasons. Brewster, Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel and Alina Stahl were selected to the All-Big 12 First Team and United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Team. Brewster went on to be honored as a United Soccer Coaches All-American and was featured on the Missouri Athletic Conference (MAC) Hermann Trophy Award Watch List. Under Stoia’s tutelage, West Virginia advanced to the NCAA Tournament Third Round for the fourth time in five years in 2019. The squad finished 12-8-2 on the year, including 5-3-1 inside the Big 12. The Mountaineers once again faced one of the toughest schedules in the country, taking on 10 teams that reached the NCAA Tournament. Ranked as high as No. 11 in the national polls, Jordan Brewster and Rylee Foster earned All-Big 12 Second Team and United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region Second Team honors, while a pair of freshmen – Enzi Broussard and Nicole Payne – were placed on the All-Big 12-Freshman Team. 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. Midfielder Nadya Gill paced WVU with seven assists.

NOTEBOOK

Coming off one of the most unusual seasons in program history in 2020-21, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team returns to the pitch for its 26th season of competition. The Mountaineers are not only looking forward to returning to a somewhat more normal year than they experienced last season, but also toward welcoming fans back to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium at full capacity for the first time since 2019. The nine-time Big 12 champions will not only face the gauntlet of the Big 12 Conference this fall, but WVU will once again go up against a challenging nonconference slate once again, which features a pair of 202021 NCAA Tournament qualifiers. While West Virginia is youthful once again this season with 12 newcomers, the squad is led by a powerhouse senior class, which features last season’s co-leader in goals in Alina Stahl and the 2020 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and United Soccer Coaches All-American Jordan Brewster. Four other seniors join Brewster and Stahl to guide the Mountaineers with enhanced experience, undeniable talent and a winning mentality. "We are super excited to get back to a semi-normal season this fall after the uncertainties of 2020-21," Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. "It's great to have a majority of our team from last year back again this season. We are ready to grind and ready to win championships." Here’s what you need to know heading into the new campaign: • This season marks the 26th year of WVU women’s soccer. The only coach in program history, Nikki Izzo-Brown has led the Mountaineers to a 362-121-56 mark. • WVU is coming off a 10-3-1 campaign last season. The squad reached the NCAA Tournament for the 21st consecutive season, the fifth-longest streak in the country, and advanced to the second round. • West Virginia welcomes back 14 letterwinners off the 2019 squad, including 10 starters. • The Mountaineers were voted to finish first in the Preseason Big 12 Poll.

112

• WVU adds 12 newcomers to the mix this season, including one transfer and one West Virginia native. • Senior defender Jordan Brewster and junior goalkeeper Kayza Massey were named to the 2021 Preseason All-Big 12 Team. Brewster was selected to the team for the third straight year, while Massey collects her first career preseason nod. • Jordan Brewster, Lauren Segalla and Grace Smith were elected as this season's co-captions. Based on a vote by their teammates, the trio was selected as co-captains for the second straight season. • Five of the Mountaineers’ six 2020 AllBig 12 honorees return to the squad this season, including first teamers Jordan Brewster and Alina Stahl. Nicole Payne and Lauren Segalla were honored on the second team, while Lilly McCarthy was named to the All-Freshman team. • This year’s squad consists of two redshirt seniors, four seniors, one redshirt junior, eight juniors, six sophomores and 11 freshmen. • The Mountaineers hail from 10 different states and four countries. WVU features four players from Canada and Pennsylvania, three from Maryland, Ohio and Texas, two from Connecticut, England, Massachusetts, Virginia and West Virginia and one from Alabama, Germany, Kansas and Nova Scotia. • Stahl co-led the squad in goals in 202021, with six. The total ranked No. 7 in the Big 12. She also ranked second on the team with 14 total points (6G, 2A). • In all, WVU returns 10 players who scored at least once last season. • The Mountaineers are a staggering 74-13-8 all-time against its nine Big 12 opponents this fall. • WVU also returns eight players who played at least 900 minutes a year ago, led by Brewster, who played all 1,300 minutes of total game action in 2020-21. • Five players are back on this year’s roster who started all 14 contests in 2020-21. Four other returners started 10 or more games last season.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS/ASSOCIATE VP

SHANE LYONS

In his seventh 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 dayto-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 All-Conference selections, seven teams to the NCAA postseason, a fourthplace 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 in 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 moni-

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.
